If were to judge things by traffic on Asphalt & Rubber alone, the new Ducati SuperSport was the bike of the 2016 INTERMOT show in Cologne, Germany. The return of a cult classic, it seems Ducati has successfully tapped into the vein that made the original so well-loved.
Releasing pricing for the US market today, there might be more to love about new SuperSport and its up-spec SuperSport S sibling, as both bikes come with attractive price tags.
As such, the 2017 Ducati SuperSport will MSRP for $12,995 in the USA, while the 2017 Ducati SuperSport S will come with a sticker price of $14,795 MSRP.
This puts the SuperSport nearly $2,000 cheaper than the Ducati 959 Panigale ($14,995), while it commands a $1,300 price increase over the Ducati Monster 821.
This puts some good distance in price between the two models that the Ducati SuperSport might cannabalize sales from, though riders looking at the Ducati SuperSport S will have to decide whether the couple hundred dollar difference to the Ducati 959 Panigale is worth the gain in performance, and loss in streetability (we’re making this a word).
Ducati says first deliveries of both SuperSport models will occur at US dealerships, starting in April 2017.
