| Unless its TINY and ultralight (unlikely) then producing a visual hybrid of a 999/998 will be a mistake.
The photoshop effort in MCN looks like a job they gave to an office junior to combine element of the 998 and the 999 and see what it looks like.
I cannot believe that Ducati would jeopardise sales even further by producing something which looks like the MCN creation.
Most folks agree that the 916 and Supermono were iconic bikes ( I have a 749R so I am biased in favour of the latest shape but don't want to be provocative).....so something along the lines of a Supermono or desmosedieci for the 1200 ?
As was said before - both Honda and Ducati recognised that the single sided swinging arm compromised handling in Superbike racing so I cannot see that making a comeback.
I want to see Ducati recover its sales in the UK and therefore hope that the 1200 is something truely special. |
