Welcome to Wallpaper Wednesday. Every week I will post up something beautiful from the world of Ducati that you just might like to have grace your desktop. This week we have an oldie but a goodie, the famous shot of Ruben Xaus showing the rest of us how to slide ride a Ducati Hypermotard 1100.
Ducati make some of the most evocative motorcycles in the world. With the introduction of the 1198 Superbike, Hypermotard, and Streetfighter, Ducati has perhaps its strongest product lineup in its entire history.

The MotoGP circus for 2010 is off with the Ducati racers getting the first official taste of their new machines today at Sepang, Malaysia. Yesterday the bikes were in action but with only official testers on board. Nicky Hayden and Casey Stoner were looking good on their Ducati Desmosedici GP10‘s!
What would happen if you loved the Supermoto style of the Ducati Hypermotard but found the performance of the 2-valve, Desmodue engine a little, well, limiting. If you’re like me you might sigh and move on. If you’re a passionate Frenchman however, you build your own 1098 powered Hypermotard 1098S.
