[Ducati] 1.2 litre bike coming soon

First time Poster...

Now that I got that out of the way, I own a 748, I think it will be classic,
but I like Dyna Ryder think it has aged, granted considering the other other
bikes of it's era it aged gracfully, but it's been long time for the old
steed. I see it in the tail section, and front fairings & lights. I would
much rather have a xx9 series bike if not oinly for the ease of work, but
for the styling, I have loved the older SBK's since I was a child, but the
xx9 just blew my mind when I first saw them, I couldn't believe the amount
of negative reaction they got from the "Ducati Purists".

I Hope and assume the next SBK will be another beautiful italian bike, and I
hope people can except progress, because if we we all just wallow in
nostoglia Ducati may become a glorified Harley Davidson. So far I have
enjoyed all 3 of the beautiful duc's I have owned each one designed by a
different man and wonderful in their own way.(monster, 748, 1999 SS).

So viva la red revolution! I hope the new sbk isn't too much like the 916.
