It's interesting to compare with how the 1098 was released to the public - virtually no spy shots whatsoever and then suddenly it was all over the place; on their website, press releases and even in Bike magazine!

But similarly, the 1098 keeps a lot of the heritage of the previous line - belt driven cams, 90deg L-twin forward facing engine, trellis frame, dry clutch...

When you look at all the bikes Ducati have made in the last 10-15 years, they're all evolutions of the current design, even if they don't look like traditional Ducatis: Hypermotard, Multistrada 1200, Diavel ... all have the same recognisable Ducati traits.

I'm just a bit sceptical that there will be such radical changes in the essence of what we consider to be a modern sports Ducati.
