I dearly wish this was a contest to win my own personal Moto-Terminator. It goes without saying that I’d have its silicon brain removed and all its robotic killer instincts put at my disposal. And I would promise to use my newfound cybernetic power and speed only for good (and maybe the occasional street race) helping to save the innocent and feed the starving. I would be the ultimate cybernetic superman! While that wish may never come true, we all now have the chance to win the motorcycle the Moto-Terminator was based on – the Ducati Hypermotard 796!
That’s right, that bad-boy up there, very similar to the ones used in Terminator Salvation, could be yours, courtesy of Warner Bros. and Ducati. Just click on the image above and sign up for a chance to win (US residents only.) While you’re at it, check out the video on the promo page. Looks like a sneak peek at one of the Blu-ray special features we’ll be seeing on the disc when it hits shops on December 1st!

- “Ducati North America is excited to introduce the newest model in its successful Hypermotard family; the Hypermotard 796.
A brand new model for 2010, the Hypermotard 796 incorporates many new features requested by Ducatisti worldwide; striking color selections, lighter weight, lower price point, lower seat height, and the inclusion of a super-light action APTC clutch. Whether it’s dicing through the daily commute or attacking the open roads, the 796 perfectly balances Ducati’s unrivalled twin-cylinder power and sportbike heredity with the lightweight and minimalist Supermotard concept.
Think of it as the big Hypermotard, just on a diet and at an extremely affordable price. The Hypermotard 796’s engine is a brand new powerplant; air-cooled with 2 valves per cylinder as per Ducati tradition. Rated at 81hp and 56 lb/ft of torque, the engine promises to deliver an exhilarating ride without compromising the smooth tractability found in Ducati’s other L-Twin engines.
Continued chassis development to the Hypermotard includes redesigned top and bottom fork clamps, and an improved frame layout which eliminates almost all of the forged elements used previously on the 1100. This adds up to an agile, lightweight, 368 pound package that is guaranteed to attack corners.
The Hypermotard 796 will be available at authorized Ducati showrooms beginning in December 2009. Color selections will include Ducati red, matte black, and matte white. MSRP for the Hypermotard 796 will be $9,995, joining the Monster 696 in Ducati’s sub- $10,000 price bracket; a bargain for the handmade Italian motorcycle.”
