Ducati only have two lines - one for the engines and one for the bike build.

They have short production runs which last days, and those engines/bikes can differ between any model in the range.

I don't see it being a problem to switch between bolting a 2v or 4v or SuperQuadro engine together on one line, and then bolting the frame of a Monster, Multistrada or the 1199 around that engine to complete a bike on the other.
