Ducati launching 9 new models for 2016

Post by duke63 »

Including two new market sectors for them. I guess one of these will be a proper off-road bike which would be interesting.

Obviously the factory desmosedici gp16 development is focusing on lightweight rather than out right power (giggle)

I have another pic of that push bike on my phone, with chewed up slicks. Someone must have legs like superman.

The 899 replacement will be a 959cc bike. Sounds promising.

Hopefully it's a decebt upgrade and not just a capcity inctease to keep performance the same whilst meeting euro 4 regs.

And why call it a 959 when the capcity is 955cc and the 955 capcity has more heritage ?

I could be tempted by that if it has the 1299 goodies or some of them on it I have to say.

The autoblipper would be good, as would the colour dash.

And a bit more mid-range.


And a SSSA. :D

Spotted coming out of the Bologna factory. Looks identical to the 1299 with the same spec as the 899.
