Flat Track Pro model Scrambler.
Gets different seat, number plate, some CNC bits and Termi slipon.

++++

Scrambler Sixty2 "new pop icon" - Smaller engine 400cc Twin based. Different colors, single disc and some other changes with the lighter less powerful engine

+++

New version of the Multistrada Pikes Peak Edition - PP Colors, low screen CF bites etc like previous. * US edition DOES get the Homologate Termi exhaust unlike before

+++

899 becomes 959, Body changes, more race like aeros, anti hop clutch and a TERRIBLE looking stock exhaust. Side exit lump... probably a noise restriction matter IMO. The sessy under body style a la 1299 or 899 are aftermarket DP parts

+++

Hyper updates across the 3 models. 937cc +10% more torque! Minor dash and signal lamp changes.

+++

Multi 1200 Enduro - with two sub models/trim lines - Looks like they are trying to get more ADV space.
Spoke wheels 19"/17", Bigger stronger Skid plate, hard box cases, AL side covers (body), longer suspension travel, offset mount front axle, DSS, higher exhaust 30L tank, ergo changes for more expected off road riding. Bunch of other misc changes.

+++

"Black" - "Low Speed Excitement", so their cruiser area concept area. XDiavel - looks like more than just an update to the current model. Longer lower, feet more forward (adjustable pegs are stock) and belt drive. This is the belt drive bike that was spy spotted
Max torque is at only 5K rpms. 10k redline, but very tuned for low RPM use.
Still had 40 degrees of lean clearance - Regular Diavel is only 41.
ALL cooling plumbing has been made internal to the engine or hidden. No hoses on display. Pretty clean.
Push button launch control.
S version gets billet parts, different wheels, different paint, DRL

Scrambler versions - still not for me, but the 400cc will probably be good for business.

Pikes Peak - nice.

959 - sensible changes and I actually don't mind that exhaust. This is the bike closest to being an altenative for me.

Hypers - still not interested.

1200 Enduro - of course, why not grab a larger GS market share.

XDiavel - sales, sales, sales. Nice styling. Looks even more similar to Mark's DesmoDevil.


World Ducati Week July 1. - 3.

The exhaust is very similar to the current Monster exhaust.

Yeah, very similar...

DiavelX looks much less hideous than prior Diavel.  But what is up with those wheels? 

[Stuka Pilot]

Surprised that there was no mention of the M1200 R.

Ducati still makes monsters??  

Actually, I think maybe the lack of M focus in that presentation is revealing of management's direction.

So not much to see in the Duc section of the International Motorcyxle show in Long Beach this wknd?

[Raux]

Boring.
