[Ducati] 1.2 litre bike coming soon

[the Kid]

 You know, I am sure you know  much more about motorcycles then I. I'm sure 
you can argue till your blue in the face with pretty much anything anyone 
has to say on here. But I for one believe that the 916 was very innovative. 
It combined many factors, including the SSS, undertail exhaust, those 
kickass side by side headlights,  and created a work of art that other bike 
manufacturers are still copying today. It is the look that draws you in. 
The spy photo of the 1.2 looks to mix the 916 styling with the 999, where we 
probably should have seen the styling of the 999 go in the first place. My 
use of the word innovative may seem incorrect to you, but it is just my 
opinion; Ducatis magical combination of, and I might quote myself here, 
"trick characteristics " Made a bike that was ahead of its time... ie 
innovative.
