I heard they were making a Hypermotard.

Considering the places I have put buses between our local 4H and the local folk festival, I could seriously find trouble with something like that.  Not to mention the places I have taken a 1978 2-stroke dual sport...

Just to clarify, a quote from the linked article:

Quote
The new bikes will be “premium products as we're not looking for low cost and low capacity motorcycles,” Chief Executive Officer Claudio Domenicali said

So no mention of walking away from the high volume, low margin wee-Monster market ... just that the new models will not be competing in that space.

x2 on the new scrambler.. I believe it was rocking the 796 motor in it! That excites me! Hopefully they lean more towards the vintage side! I love my 66!
