Poll
Question:
OK trying to simplify this question already asked - you get 2 choices (if you choose other please comment what it is so i can add it to the poll)
Option 1: Supersport Mono
votes: 12
Option 2: 696/1100 based SS models
votes: 34
Option 3: 848/1098 based ST models
votes: 30
Option 4: Supermoto Mono
votes: 12
Option 5: Sportcruiser Big Bore
votes: 4
Option 6: other
votes: 5
Option 7: boobies (by popular demand)
votes: 18
Option 8: Sportclassic Mono
votes: 8
Option 9: Multistrada (with offroad emphasis)
votes: 3
let's see if we can distill our opinions on this to a couple of top choices.
I wouldn't mind seeing Ducati reviving the ST. The Mulitstrada is not exactly my cup of tea
Strange poll. No boobs choice [bacon] [bacon] ;D
hmm without replies it falls down on the list. bump
i voted for boobies............gonna start a grass roots campaign
Boobies and an SS (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll161/porschaholic/smileys/smiley_boobs.gif)
Supermoto mono and boobies for me please
supermono....so i don't have to build my own
boobies as well
I would also like to see a sporty, lightweight single as well as an ST and boobies. [beer]
I vote boobies. They already have a pretty diverse line that appeals to many different types of riders. The more models they produce the higher the risk of financial collapse. I dont want them to fold so I vote for no additional models.
I voted for the "mono" options, but my original post specified a "traditional" motorcycle with a newly-designed Ducati single engine, i.e. a modern version of this:

or this:

They are sort of halfway between a cruiser and a traditional tourer.
can i change my vote?
Boobies. And an ST.
sport classic mono added to list
An ST and sport classic mono, please. [moto]

I can... ;)
...and I'd like to see the ST come back
An 1198 ST as light as possible with full power, sssa under seat exhaust and and maybe with primary gears to start life with a 16t front sprocket so gearing choices could be easier - using the wheelbase of the Street Fighter maybe.
Same as above with a three valve head and tuned for torque might work too.

I don't know about the 848/1198 cases, but a 16 on the earlier motors would cause the chain to saw into the cases.

I liked the desmotre head too, but I think it was too many things to support at once, which is why I don't think they'll come out with an original single, but you never know.

Not to worry dude...
I took care of it. [thumbsup]

could you also sticky this for about a week?
I voted other.
I want a more off-roady multistroodle
I voted for the SS and boobies, but I would also have voted for the ST. The wife is showing some interest in riding 2 up and the Multi is not exactly for the vertically challenged.
I voted for boobies too.
I just want the old R2S design with the new engine...thats all
DeLEGOfication !!!
I'd like an ST, a new SS, and somebody to redesign the front end of the Multistrada so I will buy it. The front is the only thing keeping it in the showroom and not in my garage (well. lack of cash is also problematic)
Either a new (cheaper) supermono or an ever more classic looking replacement for the SS
Or better yet, a classic looking, fully faired mono ;D
