[duccarlos]

I see them adding this eventually, but still quite a few years away.

The OP might want to check their sources.

well it certainly was a surprise to see the diavel exhaust and new rearsets.

[duccarlos]

I had heard about the exhaust and I assumed new rearsets because of it. I didn't know it would be the Diavel exhaust, just knew it was shotgun style. I was more surprised with the TC.

The specs show the EVO has a wet clutch. hmmmm
I hope its a typo, cause I for one like the dry clutch on a Ducati.

[duccarlos]

Wet clutch on pretty much all new models except teh 1198 and HM.

I kept waiting for Nate to lock this thread because I thought it was about politics!

Rearsets... yes.

Exhaust... no.

Wet clutch... wont the gerbils that make it go around drown?

I think it was Richard Gere who told me than gerbils can hold their breath for longer than you'd think.

[Ahks]

Rearsets... yes.

Yes, please!

Exhaust... no.

Who keeps that stock anyway?

Friendlier clutch on a flagship bike? I may be saving a bit longer than I planned cause I think this bike is HOT.

Adjustable suspension: Check
Black on Black: Check
Sexy 1100 wheels: Check
Traction control: Check
ABS: Check
No more unipeg ugliness: Check
Dream bike: Could be...

Dream bike if you can use the 848 dry clutch conversion. I want to see it with Termis. I'm hoping they'll be able to do the shotguns slightly higher, like the S*R.

The option of upgrading to a dry clutch would be pretty nice. I'm a fan of minimal exhausts like Boom Tubes and ExBoxs, should be no problem there.

I currently have boomtubes on my Monster. Love them. I want to see what Termis can come up with.

+1, I'm also curious where they will go from this base.

I expect the answer is remarkably close, if not identical to the offering on the diavel.  It wouldn't hurt to be able to split the stock for slipons from a financial perspective, and the mounting/placement is very similar.  Even if they don't fit eachother, I wouldn't expect a radically different design.

I find it kind of funny that some folks get so worked up about traction control and ABS on a Monster.  It's been my experience that while in one sense it might be worthwhile but more on the other hand most riders don't ride hard enough to actually benefit from it. Well, maybe if they are sort of doofusses they might. But otherwise..... ? ? ?
