I want to see Ducati make a single again.  Not the frankenstein single they made with the Supermono, but a bonafide single that is reminiscent of the design they used for their old bikes.  They could make a cool lightweight sportbike with 60-70 hp and also use it in a traditional-style bike reminiscent of the Mk3.  I would buy one in a minute.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Yes.  With clean lines.  I would buy one.  This is a very good idea and hope they do it.

That Supersport that keeps popping up around here.  Big two valve with a good suspension.   [thumbsup]

I would love to see something very similar, a very lightweight (325 pound) bike with a single making 65 ish horsepower built specifically with the twisties in mind. I would like it to handle like it's on rails, fully adjustable suspension.

A small but peppy commuter bike.  Think 400cc-500cc capable frame and good, but not necessarily fancy or top end suspension.  Think Monster 400 like, but lighter.  Maybe a 400 Sport or something like that ~

Something to compete with the 1200gs, in capability, comfort, and longer maintenance intervals.

A really good looking 1100cc air cooled SuperSport would work for me.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

I would have said a competitively priced street fighter. similar to an S3 or Brutale... but looks like they got on that one already

A cleaner, meaner, simpler Multistrada with the 848 engine and a single exhaust can on one side. The tank should hold a full 6 gallons, and the fuel gauge should actually work. Props if the fairing could be removed in 10-15 minutes, and the bike used without it if desired...may not be practical though.
