The pre-bookings for the SuperSport have been great and dealership across the country start deliveries on September 22, 2017. The SuperSport is claimed to be agile on urban roads, comfortable on highways and decisive when faced with out-of-town hairpin turns, the SuperSport allows anyone to indulge their sports instinct.
Sergi Canovas, Managing Director of Ducati India said that the seventh motorcycle launched in India this year, the SuperSport is an exciting model for both expert riders and riders contemplating the Ducati sports world for the first time. He also added that the expert riders will enjoy its road performance and penchant for touring while the ease of handling and versatility will be appreciated by first time sport bike buyers.
