Ducati to announce 'Major new bike'

if they do it, I can see it being well out of the 999 price sector, not to mention the R1/blade. how much was an R7? 20 odd grand? perhaps a limited run/internet auction deal again like the MH900

Hi

If it is that ugly then even the sales of the 999 will be safe.

On the other hand a production bike would probably have front and rear wheels that matched, a rear numberplate holder and is unlikely to have a carbon swinging arm (structural carbon is very expensive and time consuming to make or the very expensive usd forks with the seperate gas reserviors.

MCN let the trainee at Photoshop I think.

All the best

yeah but it's a V4. Ever ridden a VFR800. I dream of the day I can own a proper sports V4 (apart from an RC30) It will be amazing. Shame it's a duke tho. I'd rather it was a jap bike. It'd still be working by NEXT Crimbo

Am i right in thinking some company were knocking out Ducati GP bike fairings that you could fit on some ducati and a MV F4?

[McJamweasel]

Yes Summy. Well - for the 999 anyway, I'd not heard about them fitting the F4.

Yup you're right Summy - QB Carbon do one for the 748/916/996/998 bikes but they don't have it listed for the 749/999 bikes or the MV F4 though at the NEC a few years back they had an endurance racer with it on (yellow bike, twin filler cap on the fuel tank if anyone remembers?) in the bottom picture.

QB have done a 999 special though which looks like a mix of the MotoGP bike and the 999 roadbike.

None of them look that good, neither does a 998 or 999 for that matter.
