No, but I spend more time here than he does.
[cheeky]
Even so it`s still nice ;D
WOW! it look good.
I can't say that it doesn't look nice, 'cause it does...But, IMO it is too angular...too KTM Duke-like.
I would hope that Ducati would keep to a smoother, more flowing theme vrs the angles that basically every other manufacturers is doing.
sweet [thumbsup]

Whoops. Sorry guys. I didn't do a search. I'm getting lazy in my old age.

Normally can't stand overly angular designs, but this I like. Maybe because it is just a picture. It could be because most of the lines are in the right direction.
Here is another picture of the bike in yellow.

I'd buy one if they built it.
I'll take one (in matte black of course) over that new street fighter crap!
Looks like a 1098 & a 999 made a puppy [cheeky]
So, why would they put 1000SS instead of 1100SS?

To quote Joe Dirt... "Why's a tree good? Why's a sunset good? Why're boobs good?"
Yes, that is a nice bike...
Now a question...
There is a 848 now...a couple of 1098 or 1198, high powered Streetfighters, 1100 Hypers and soon a 1100 GS adventure...so far so good
But why is the Monster the only beginner bike ? Performance wise..
The style is not everyone's darling as we all agree on , right ?
But this SS is extremely nice to look at...
I think what Ducati needs to compete with the Honda CBR 600RR , the 600 Ninja and the R6, not to mention the Daytona 675 is a "SS 696".
Here in Europe we have strong regulations regarding fuel, CO² and noise.
This bike would sell like fresh bread and butter..
Now anyone call Borgo Panigale and tell em [coffee]

Any two valver would get killed by any of those bikes you mentioned. The bikes you mentioned have something around 120 HP. The highest horsepower duc 2 valve makes around 100 give or take 5. No doubt it would still be a sweet ride.

totally have to agree with you... the SS 696 would sell like hotcakes.
And as mentioned by a couple of other companies, such as BMW, there is very little to no money in the 600 Sport market, BMW have been watching this Market segment very closely, debating spending the money developing a bike for the Market, it would appear that they have decided to put the project on hold for the time being.
There Manager for the bike division stated in a recent Magazine article that in the current economic climate they would lose money hand over fist, but even with the economy running at it's best the project would run very very close to the wire cost wise.
A number of the Japanese companies have stated on occasion that there is virtually no money in the 600 supersport market.
