As usual, in Italian.
 
Loose translation, close but no guarantees:
 
 
In the development of the new Superbike wheels  we had in mind for you two 
objects. First the aesthetic one: the new and  beautiful wheel. The second: an 
important weight savings. The attainment of the  aesthetic objective you can 
judge the new  Marchesini “Y shaped spoke  wheels”. On the weight the judgment 
is easy: less 250gr on the front one, less  1000gr on the rear (thanks above 
all to the new single sided swingarm). In  particular on the front the less 
weight meaningfully reduces the inertia  improving considerably the guide ability 
in the changes of direction. Moreover  for the first time in a street Ducati 
better traction and control will come to  you on the rear tire from 190/55.   
I have decided to  photograph in legible way the control panel of the new 
Superbike… As you see the  dashboard is digital and more totally lacking in 
push-buttons for the  activation of its various functions. It indicates the number 
of turns of  the motor with one graphic identical to that one of the speed. All 
the other  functions (some truly innovative!) they are activated directly 
from a control  mounted on the steering and can therefore be used without losing 
concentration  while riding. The instrument is produced from official 
supplying Digitek of  Ducati Run and the same one that will come mounted on the GP7.
