PLEASE Ducati call it the XTreme... how stupid. kinda like the Streetfighter... dumb name too.

[Speedbag]

XTreme is 11tb times more lame than Streetfighter.....

I heard it was going to be called the 1199 Oompa Loompa and there would be a S version.

[redxblack]

Xtreme? is it 2001? Will it come with a Mountain Dew dispenser and a bag of Doritos?

[muskrat]

do I see a little Cedici in there?  if so I'd like one but not for $24,999 without gold forks.

[Mudsurfer1234]

I prefer "Superquadrata" over oompa loompa or Xtreme  

[Bishamon]

I prefer "Superquadrata"

Agreed.

From MCN

"One source told MCN: "The XTreme name was something that was used within Ducati. It’s not the name of the bike which is almost definitely going to be 1199.""

I seriously doubt (and sure as hell hope) it's not going to get a silly name like that. Besides, if they did it'd be in Italian 'estremo' Always sounds better in some other language.

with a carbon frame so to speak i see this costing around the same as the 1098r when it first came out, this will not sell as well as the 1198, good thing the 848 will still be around, becaise i don't see many buying it.

I hope ducati wont be stupid enough to do that sort of commercial suicide. They obviously know that the only reason the company turned aroud is because the started offering a 15K top of the line superbike.

Everything I've heard (articles on the web and chatter from the shop) indicates aluminum subframes front and rear.

1199 Oompa Loompa Checa Replica?

I've read somewhere, AL for standard version, CF for R version to meet WSBK requirements to race the CF.

you give them too much credit.  the real reason was Texas Pacific Group.  I'm not entirely sure they learned their lesson but we shall see.  Based on the tank issue they still seem to be hard-headed if not completely clueless in some respects.
