9 New Ducati Models for 2016!

Ducati Forum

Help Support Ducati Forum:

Cafe Monster.
KTM Adventure 990 copy.
Chopper version of the Diavel. Or a Road King version of the Diavel.

3 hip markets, Ducati isn't quite in.
 
Their new campaign on instagram is #xducati, "THIS IS BLACK" and they launched a dedicated site: x.ducati.com.

Probably all new 9 models are black version of the existing reds...
 
There is also 3 more links under the video that just say This is..., but they aren't active yet.

Well like I said I won't spill the beans. That means, of course, that there are beans to spill! ;)

Good things are coming in the future. They may not be exactly what you expect...they may be even better.

My advice is for those of you who like to play the long game, start prepping the wife now for an addition or two to the stable :D

I have a question, and this is totally serious: Why do so many of you say you want a "New" Streetfighter, 1299 Streetfighter, etc.? From our experience with the last "big" streetfighter, the 1098 Streetfighter, it really didn't sell very well. The Monster consistently outsold the Streetfighter by a factor of 10 probably. So I think Ducati is pretty gunshy about a real sport-focused naked bike after that experience, yet here all of you are saying you want one. Why do you want a naked version that won't have the capabilities of the full-on sport version? What's the appeal of a 200HP naked bike, other than doing wheelies, which you can do on a 450 supermoto a lot more fun than you can on a 200HP naked bike? Or is it the age-old quest for a "comfortable" sport bike that drives that want? I'm very curious.

If they made a 1299 SF that had the same features and similar motor output as the 1299 Pani, I would buy it that day. I want a sporty bike that I can tour with, but also doesn't sacrifice performance or technical goodies.

The Monster simply doesn't do it for me across the board. And I think it is a bit embarrassing they didn't equip it with a QS, let alone down-blipper, cornering ABS, etc.
 
A really classy looking cafe racer with the 899 or 1200 mts lump would be nice. Something with real performance and with looks similar to the modern Nortons. The sport classic range weren't exactly pretty in the unfaired versions.

Fair enough, but specifically why do you want a naked "touring" bike with that kind of performance? I still don't get it. You can get a 1299S that has it already, so basically the only difference you're talking about is a more comfortable seating position and it has nothing to do with it being a "naked" bike. By that definition, a new fully-faired sport-touring bike based upon the 1299S would be even more desirable than a naked version, since it would have better wind protection for "touring". Why doesn't anyone say they want that bike?

Cause they are ugly :D

If you are going to be as slow as I am, you better look good.
 
^^ exactly what they said. That and the cool looking factor. I'm sorry but the monster will never give me as much wood, looking at it as the SF did. Don't care if they put a 1299 engine into it, wouldn't be interested.
 
Ok, interesting, thanks! So the cool look of a naked bike is a big factor. This is some great market research, it goes to show why I'm not the product designer in Bologna! ;-)

Still doesn't change the fact that the 1098 Streetfighter, which looked very sinister and cool, never sold well. It seems to meet all of the criteria you guys are asking for, yet I guess none of you ever bought one? Why not?
 
J 2 reasons.

1. the current SF is ugly
2. I couldn't afford them then lol


This is how I see it. Did KTM have to build the 1290SD? No. Why is it so popular. It's looks badass. It rides badass. It sounds badass. And has a big ... engine in it. The same reason everyone who had an old Nova wanted it to be the most badass muscle car ever. Because it's just badass in every way.

Just leave this here for visual effect J

I wasn't riding street then. Really only a track guy.

Although, I did a cross-country jaunt with my Pani and I have the touring bug a little. If the stars align I can do a big trip, but I want the right bike. I think the 1299SF can be that bike.
 
I would love to see a lightweight Sports classic with a HP air cooled motor . I loved the sports classic but the bike was heavy and underpowered and built to a budget .
That would be my perfect street bike .

Jarel,
Being an older guy with more conservative tastes in what a touring bike should look like, I would like to see a ST 2/ST3/ST4 replacement. Updated engine, suspension etc. I to enjoy looking at the bike as well as riding it. So the Multi strada etc is just too way out for me. A Ducati version of a BMW1300S is what I would love to see.

My two cents.

(Rossi to win in 2015)
