Speculation 2

[Duck-Stew]

The 696 is a given.
I'm thinking the 1100 engine will end up in the new monster frame.
I also think the SSSA will be added soon enough.
The 'top notch' Monster will be (I think) 848-based but tuned for slightly more mid-range.

I think one of the considerations they took into account when building the new monster frame was that the throttle bodies and air-box from the superbikes could fit inside the new monster frame.

I always thought it was odd that the 4V Monsters (especially the S4Rs) had to 'get-by' with the ST4/S4/916 throttle-bodies.

So just found out the s4rs has been discontinued from my local dealer since it can no longer meet European EPA standards to take affect in 09.  Now that I can not upgrade me current ride to a 4V what will be the 4V replacement.  Any takers please inform me since I am not informed on whats next.  I did see the 696 in person and though it would be a bike I would consider I feel like I would just crush the bike since I am about 6'0" 230 lbs plus I am looking for one or two more ponies.

Couldn't you just buy one with a few miles on it?  The dealer will still be able to service them.

Seriously, how long are we going to have to wait until Ducati unveils their next model(s)?  Novemberish?  What is the usual schedule for this type of thing

Yeah, the Milan show. Until then, the speculators and photochoppers will run amok.

Hey guys, I hear a new supermono is in the works...
