I guess somewhere between the lines it reads: the newbikes based on the new 1199 engine is going to be so expensive it opens a gap somewhere between the M1100/SF1199/SBK849/SBK1198  ;D

2007 Monster 695, DP ECU, Low mount Alu Termignonis
replaced by 2011 848 EVO

I'd like to see that happen. I miss the SS and ST bikes from the line up.
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

mmm loving that rumor.

IF this is true and I can talk the wife into one in a couple of years... oh man oh man

If they do it I hope they use frame from the 848 though and not based on the Monster. I think an 1100 2V motor in the 848 frame would strike the ideal balance between road and track bike. [Dolph]

it would make more sense than the Monster frame.
the current superbike frame and suspension, the 1100 motor bumped up some cc and hp, and maybe a 900 version :D

i find the sketch a bit hideous though... that front fairing doesnt flow in terms of lines for me at all.

I'm not keen on the pictured concept, but I would love an air-cooled superbike.

The girl is way more attractive than that bike.

Ducati has almost always had an "SS" model.  It would be bizarre if they did not come out with a new one.

The bike pictured would be great.

"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.

I don't know.  I like this



better than this

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.
