If you’re going to get a BMW 750Li for Christmas from the Neiman Marcus catalog so you can drive around in hot style, you’ll need a matching Ducati bike for the weekends, right? Well, thankfully, in addition to the Neiman Marcus BMW 750Li that Suzanne wrote about, you can also get a NM version of the Ducati Hypermotard. The Neiman treatment adds a full Termignoni exhaust system with accompanying ECU, a single seat, a “Tricolore” paint job, and a few carbon fiber jauns. All that for just $17,995. Ugh.

Why spend $18k on the NM version of the regular Hypermotard though? Why not go for one of these other Ducati bikes?:

You could get insane performance with the 1098 superbike for only $16k:

Or go for the Hypermotard S for about $14.5k, which gives you actual solid performance instead of just Neiman Marcus bling:

Or, my choice, the Sport 1000 S, which is Ducati’s absolute best looking bike in my opinion, and still gives you fantastic performance, all for $13k:
