Maybe, if your butt wasn't already acting as a fairing...
Show the riders hanging off the side of the bike and then answer the question again...... AH! Now you'll get it!

Ok so I've spoken to a dealer who was at the Ducati dealer conference on Lake Como earlier this week. When pressed over the three leaked photos from the factory we've all now seen, what I did glean was the following:
1. The bike definitely retains the fairing/tank Supersport side extensions
2. The battery and many of the electronics are now mounted under the front end of the fuel tank
3. The TFT dash rather like the new Monster 821, now sports a new layout in as much as it also (a first for Ducati) actually displays the fuel level in the form of a bar graph and this TFT will be rolled out across other models in the months/years to come
4. When showed the leaked photos they were only prepared to say that the bike shown in those images is not representative of the bike they saw earlier this week, as in real life the front end is much much narrower/lighter/leaner and overall physically is very close to Panigale V-twin proportions, compared to the lardy version we have seen so far.

You mean like...
Nope, ain't buying it. Gimme my darned man purse! Just think of all the lost downforce on the rear; hmmm, maybe that's what Jorge's been missing from the M1...
Here is the 2018 v4 panigale
The next Superbike I buy will be a V4. I don't know if it will be a Ducati V4. I really like my 1299S but it's not my fav, not YET!
A really neat upgrade would be lazer tire temp sensors. I fully expect BMW to come out with them as an option in a couple years. BMW and Ducati like to lead in new tech so we will see.
