2024 Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono RVE Review - not just for hooligans?

The 2024 Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono is exactly what you'd want in a Supermoto. It is light, has a punchy motor, great handling and powerful brakes, but it's also got a suite of electronic aids too. So we all know what to expect from this type of bike, but how does the 698 Mono stack up for the everyday rider as a fun naked? Is it just a little too focused for normal use?
