We all know that now that Rossi will be racing for Ducati that at some point they will release a bike in tribute to him. What do you think it will be? An 1198? an updated Desmosedici? Multistrada? Thoughts? Photochops?
a new cucciolo...

That'd sorta make sense with the whole tribe of the Chihuahua thing and his dogs.
But historically it's been a SBK

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.
I have a picture of me with the Cucciolo in the factory in Bologna
A new Supermono
the 500cc was his most successful class, so a 500cc supermono would be supercool
of course in yellow
Superquadrata

If I had to guess..... Since there's a new SBK in the works, what better way to do an intro than with the DR. Edition....
1198R, maybe? kinda like the xerox 999R
orrr maybe they'll realize that the Rossi R1 didn't sell and wont make one?(unsure if it was a hit or not)
a new V4 street bike?
I thought it was supposed to be a twin?
I heard Ducati was going to be coming out with a Hypermotard, prehaps *that* will be the VR46 Edition.

that was faster than most sbks though...
;D (140)

Whatever Ducati needs to sell the most of .....
Dolph :)
Wouldn't a Rossi edition 695 go even faster than the Capirex edition, easily breaking the 140 MPH benchmark?
A M695-VR would go lightspeed.
I think they should do one in Yamaha blue.

Ducati is going to make a Hypermotard??!! :o :o
I think they should call it the Bird! Or maybe even, the Eagle!!
why one model? they could do a VR46 paint scheme limited to 200 of each bike in the current lineup. It would be easy to do, appealing and drive collectors nuts trying to get one of each.
A new Desmosedici, GP11 edition? Mmmmm tasty....

It doesn't matter to me as I won't be able to afford a new 695 any easier than a new D16. [laugh]

I think this is close, but limited numbers only on the high end models.
A Rossi scheme low end model would do wonders for the home market.
