A new 2014 Ducati 749 could be in the works...

The Swing Arm is a new revelation and makes a certain amount of sense.

R owners will notice that the swing arm has a split adjuster. This technical design addition was an attempt to much more firmly plant the rear tire down as one of the actual engineering issues of the 1199 Panigale was the fact that keeping the rear wheel down has been a significant engineering challenge for Ducati.

Ducati has been fairly transparent with dealership owners when it comes to their current model offering. A couple weeks ago, one source told me they recently toured Ducati's official headquarters and while they spent considerable time with Ducati's current lineup, they also mentioned there was only one motorcycle that was roped off from access. This particular bike had a cover on it, and could be seen down the corridor, but was impossible to approach. Sure the rumors alone could fly on this one, and I had no intent of making this thread until just now...

I just had a conversation with the same source at Ducati who had this conversation about the 1199 with me...

Some of this is already known, but some of this is new... Yes, it's well known that Ducati is set to release a new "mini version of the Panigale" and while rampant rumors have been flying around that it may be released as the Ducati 799, there's also been rumors that it could be released as an 849 model.

The new bit of info I'm hearing is that Ducati is working incredibly hard at making the "smallest, lightest version of the 1199 Panigale" that they can. Every effort and focus is being made to "miniaturize" the Panigale. It's also worth noting that we may see Ducati release this as "749cc version of the Panigale for 2014."

This entire post is not official and is 100% rumor. While my sources would discuss the matter with me, they were not able to provide me anything definite either.

For the sake of conversation, which version of the smaller Panigale would you like to see - 749, 799, or 849?

Translated:

Ducati has traced the lines of the heir of the 848, a motion of "half" displacement that followed partially as seen on the 1199 Panigale, with a few caveats that can make us reflect on the future of the House Bolognese road.

The rumors and reports gathered exclusively by IFG are substantial and structural make up the puzzle of what we can say, there will be a motorcycle designed for racing by virtue of the FIM regulations that restrict the airspace of a twin.

If they wanted to build a Ducati Supersport "Stock" should opt for an engine from 799 cubic centimeters and deal with the technical commissions, so it was not: the next motion will be called Ducati 899 and will have that capacity.

The engine, of course 90 ° L-Twin engine, it will be completely new but built according to what has been seen on 1199. Of about 155 horsepower maximum power limiter set at 11,500 rpm.

Similarly, for 50%, philosophy telaistica: the engine will be carrier-type. The biggest news about the swingarm Ducati abandoned the single-sided in favor of a new dual-sided "banana"-structure already used by Aprilia.

All eyes at EICMA 2013, the International Motorcycle Exhibition to be held in November at the Fiera Milano-Rho: Ducati 899 could be the real surprise this year, only to be marketed in 2014.
 
keep the current 848 production with the trellis frame as an alternative superbike. why sell a 799cc panigale when you can simply just dial down the 1199 to 120hp. Would a 799cc engine affect handling, weight, and can you sell it for 5 grand cheaper and still keep all the gadgets?
