Looks like the MV Dragster. That's not a bad thing.

Mi piace!

As a side note, I find myself less and less excited about Ducati releases and more about other EU brands, at least from a styling perspective.  Ducati's design edge is slipping IMHO.  I mean, ugh:

If this bike comes to fruition, I will beat down the door of the dealership to get one.  123 HP is plenty and the looks are original.

That looks great...but it won't even be close if it ever gets released. Just like the KTM 1290 Duke concept vs. what was released (which I still think is awesome). I think this one would be even worse though because it seems even more radical than the 1290 Duke concept.

I think it MOSTLY looks good. I'm torn about the empty space above the rearsets. Looks like it's missing something.

There's quite a bit I like, but some bits don't quite work for me visually either.

I really like the production 9t, and this thing is even cooler. But like J mentioned, if this gets produced, it probably wont be as badass.  i REALLY liked the ktm concept, but the new duke just doesn't do it for me - it'd take a lot to make it look like the concept.

Still, I think my next ride, should I decide to swap out for something other than my monster, would be the brutale dragster.
