Ducati Hypermotard 769 - Just another Gadget?

Here's an interesting US news feed regarding the Hyper 796:
Ducati Hypermotard 796. No, really. That’s what its called.

It's not the article that's interesting, it's the comment afterward that made me smile.

Maybe Gadget publications shouldn't comment on Italian Motorcycles as I think they miss the point. I bet Jimin can't ride a bike, "go play with your Nintendo fella!"

I think you are pretty well on the money Dan, one of the claims is that the suit will improve physical capability. I think that Jimin could actually surprise himself once strapped into that piece of plastic and could possibly have the strength to push in a Ducati starter button!
