Ducati has unveiled a prototype of its first-ever racing supermoto, the 'Desmo450 SM'. Fitted with slick tires as standard, the competition-focused machine represents a new expansion of the Desmo450 lineup.
Ducati's first racing supermoto, and with slick tires as standard no less — I've re-read the materials three times already. Redirecting the Desmo450's motocross DNA into supermoto is a fantastic idea. Committing this fully even at the prototype stage makes me obsess over how the production spec will end up being refined.

Is it fair to think of a supermoto as basically an off-road bike wearing road tires?
So they're spreading the Desmo450 engine family into a motard, expanding the lineup.
Ducati had the Hypermotard, but this is their first dedicated competition supermoto?
If slicks come standard, it's basically a competition-only bike, not road legal. Don't get too carried away.
Ducati's first supermoto is so exciting, I want a Desmo450 SM.
The supermoto benchmark is KTM's 450SMR. Can Ducati really break into that?
