Seems to be some doubt as to whether the V4 Multi will be launched for 2020 or 2021.

Duke this is what the article I posted said:

"Meanwhile, the Panigale V4 inspired ‘959’ will be brought into line with its big brother by sharing a number of parts and styling with the Superbike, though there remains uncertainty over whether it will retain a V2 or receive the full V4 treatment. We’re happy to wait for the surprise when it comes in an official capacity."

Have you heard elsewhere that its confirmed a v twin at the next revision?

The photos I have seen all show a v twin engine in the test mule. I think Ducati would be foolish to completely stop making v twin sportsbikes and financially I can’t see how a smaller v four works.

It would but I can’t see it being any cheaper than the 1100. The figures don’t add up.

Is anyone going to any of the bike shows this year? Milan was a bit too manic for my tastes.

I was considering covering the NEC show again , it'll only cost me fuel and parking and I can take requests if there is something you would like to see but cannot go yourself.

If I did Milan again it would be midweek but seeing as it’s a week after Johnson’s No Deal Brexit I’m not risking it this year.

Cologne is 2020 so that might be worth a look in autumn 2020.

I'll take a view closer to the date. It depends which new bikes are going to be there. I'll probably go midweek after the first weekend.
