It wouldn't surprise me to find that the "prototype" pics we've seen so far are all red herrings. (It wouldn't disappoint me either, to be honest, but there you go.)

Perhaps Ducati have taken truly effective steps to keep the new bike completely under wraps, as part of their marketing strategy ... whereas previously, manufacturers have allowed sneak previews as an integral part of the strategy. Whetting the public's appetite, so to speak.
