Where do i sign??!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

"This is the possible aspect of a new Ducati that will be shown at EICMA 2008."

MCN being the good tabloid that they are, are guessing again!

If you talk as much crap as they do, the the law of averages means you are bound to get something right!

I'll wait till EICMA before I get excited

"DIES"... given how hot the rear frame on a 696 gets, a magnesium in-frame exhaust will be interesting to say the least. Got to agree with what Neil says about MCN guesswork.


... oh and can I have an aircooled 1100 instead.

[Paranoid Dave]

clearly an MCN mock up and it looks sh1t. If it was a ducati realese image it would look a lot better than that.

[markus]

love the idea, I won't hold my breath.........

[SazzaG]

Wow, they really don't know how to use Photoshop at MCN!

As for the "insulating technique used by NASA on the Shuttle" - you mean the one they used on Columbia?

[giler]

I like the gap between seat and tank - very painfull!

[Gilps]

I don't beleive a word of that. There's no way that Ducati would make something as ugly as a naked bike with all it's plumbing on display like that. No way.

[Nickj]

probably been ok if they'd used a bit of royal dalton.

Not too long to wait so rumour control has it, 1100 version of the 696 should break cover in the next month or two....

dry clutch? wet clutch? dry clutch? wet clutch? dry clutch? wet clutch? dry clutch? wet clutch? dry clutch? wet clutch? dry clutch? wet clutch? dry clutch? wet clutch? dry clutch? wet clutch? dry clutch? wet clutch? dry clutch? wet clutch? dry clutch? wet clutch? dry clutch? wet clutch?

Half of the image is from a photo, the rest is drawn.

If its a naked Ducati, surely its a Monster, not a Hyperfighter? the engine and riding setup would make it a replacement for the S4Rs surely?

It looks rubbish, and MCN should really know better............ Ha! What am I thinking?!

[jerry]

Hideous!!!!!

[alreadyinuse]

its a 1098 arse stuck on a hypermotard front with a silly exhasut drawn on.
if it was real it would have massive ugly exhausts like te 696
