Who let the dogs out!?

From the pics in MCN. it looks like Frankenstein's monster type amalgamation of a Triumph 675 (lights), a 999 (seat), an Aprilla Mille (tail unit) and an MV Augusta (rear light unit). And those exhausts look too heavy. When I saw the picks of the mule in MCN a few weeks ago, I thought "surely they're gonna change the tail pipes?", but apparently not. Ooooops.

Another opportunity wasted IMHO.

Guess the 916 is still the Albatross round their neck, 'cos I don't think they'll ever make another bike as beautiful, and every Ducati supersports will always be measured by that yardstick . Sigh

Still, I'll reserve judgement until I see it in the tin and I'm sure Ducati will be holding their breath until I do....
