Thought I would post up this picture I found on an Italian website. It looks very much like one of the pictures Andrew Tyne sold to MCN of the prototype at the factory gates, but obviously a rendition or rather a drawing based on the photo itself. I personally think it is the most accurate image to date, but nothing is certain until next week when it is FINALLY unveiled. See hwat you think.

Yep - that'll be pretty much it I reckon. Kinda like a pointy lovechild of a 998 and a 999.

Nowhere near a new direction on the looks front, so I'd expect it to be as slated more than the 999 has been for being a glorified re-hash...

Great !

I'll keep my 749R thank you ! (might be tempted by the 1200R though)

I was in the dealer today,and was told that all they know about the bike is that there are 6 body styles kicking around, so who knows how relevant the recent photos have been. Apart from that they said Ducati have said nothing to the dealers about the bike

I hope you are right as the front end looks like a CBR600. Still only a week left to go!
