The motorcycle is built really well and it gives the feel of a premium, quality product.

Apart from the 1078cc version, there is also a smaller version of this bike available called the Hypermotard 796. Both of these bikes look almost identical, however the Hypermotard 1100 is a little heavier and it has a slightly higher seat position.
