More speculation on 999 replacement.

Best looking cgi pic so far.
Looks a bit 'Japanese' tho!

Rattler · 09-Aug-2006, 10:36

Which bit is the "R1" bit?

Sharpy G · 09-Aug-2006, 10:43

the pointy area at the front of the screen ?

Tantrum992 · 09-Aug-2006, 11:05

Is this an accurate pic or just a guess at what it might look like ?

Looks like the spawned offspring of a 999 and the Desmo to me.

I do like it though, although the front looks a bit oversized.

These photochops are quite annoying - they are the result of some one at MCN trying to decide on the best bits of 3 different bikes and sticking them together......it doesn't give Ducati any credit for having a design team to come up with a new model design.

Isn't that the Desmosedici bit?

I don't like it. The single swinger looks dated and the R1 nose isn't good for an Italian bike. I can't see it looking too much like the D16RR as I'm sure Ducati will want to keep that bike exclusive. I reckon the true 1100 will look more similar to the current 999.

It's not right - All it needs is a multicoloured paint job to give it the full oriental look.....

Rubbish...and maybe its me, but how the hell can an italian bike be 'inspired ' by a friggin R 1 ???!!
