Ducati launching 9 new models for 2016
Including two new market sectors for them. I guess one of these will be a proper off-road bike which would be interesting.

I'd like to see who would be capable of getting those slicks up to temp!!

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

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

Re: Ducati launching 9 new models for 2016
The 899 replacement will be a 959cc bike. Sounds promising.

Re: Ducati launching 9 new models for 2016
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 ?

Re: Ducati launching 9 new models for 2016
I could be tempted by that if it has the 1299 goodies or some of them on it I have to say.

Re: Ducati launching 9 new models for 2016
The autoblipper would be good, as would the colour dash.
And a bit more mid-range.
And a SSSA.

Re: Ducati launching 9 new models for 2016
Spotted coming out of the Bologna factory. Looks identical to the 1299 with the same spec as the 899.

Re: Ducati launching 9 new models for 2016
