I've just been trawling around the Ducati MY2004 web site. Highlights in brief below, and pictures (courtesy of Ducai SpA) at
http://www.ducati.info/gallery/MY2004/ - the ducati site itself is still largely password protected.
- Superbike:
http://www.ducati.com/bikes/my2004/superbike.jhtml 749R - 116bhp, 80Nm torque. Ohlins forks and shock, radial brakes 18.3l tank, slipper clutch. This looks like the business.
999/999S/999R/749/749s appear, at first glance, to be unchanged.
- Sporttouring:
http://www.ducati.com/bikes/my2004/sporttouring.jhtml ST2 & ST4 no longer listed.
ST3: 992cc, 3v/cylinder 102bhp, 93Nm torque, Showa forks, Sachs shock. (web site says 4v engine, but pics clearly show 3v head.
ST3/4/4abs all have new top fairing & instruments including remote headlight adjustment.
BBG is no longer a colour option
- Monster:
http://www.ducati.com/bikes/my2004/monster.jhtml S4 dropped, range is now S4R, 1000, 800, 620. Can't see any significant changes
- Supersport:
http://www.ducati.com/bikes/my2004/supersport.jhtml Only 1000 and 800 are listed.
cheers
