959 959 No More?

  1. Though its still listed on the Ducati site as a current model, you can no longer configure one, nor book a test ride.

    Looks like its demise is imminent.

  4. The introduction of a Corse is normally a signal that the product will be retired soon after.

  5. A 750cc V4 replacement would be nice.

  6. Hasn't Claudio directly ruled out a smaller v4 for the smaller panigale because of complexity in building (and hence cost) would mean its not viable ? Also there was something said that they would still have a V2/L2 in their sportsbike line up.

    Either way, can't wait to see if we get a new model announced on November 4th.

    RBW.
     
  7. A smaller capacity v4 is going to be big bucks. The 959 is probably a keeper. The price of these bikes is fecking stupid, or rather my wallet just isn't big enough.

  8. IIRc they ruled out there being a Superquadro 899 when the 1199 was released.:D

  9. If the V4 isn't going to be used in a smaller capacity sports bike where else is it going to be used? Naked?
     
  10. Isnt the smart money on a v4 streetfighter being launched in November ?

    RBW.

     
  11. I'm hoping it's either a Streetfighter or a smaller capacity V4 Panigale
     
  12. This is a cheap one :)

  13. I’d go with 750 V4 being on the cards

  14. I hope you lot are right. I’ll be getting my wallet straight out if a Streetfighter or middleweight is on the cards!
     
  15. It is, thank you for the compliment
     
  16. My first big bike was an RVF400, loved it!, and wish I still had it now, your one looks in great condition btw, and love the RC45 style exhausts :upyeah:.

  17. They're maybe going to increase capacity again, to say 1199?:D

  18. I've just bought a 959, but would be quite happy to the smaller superbike replaced with a V4 right now - would be nice to have the last of the smaller twins - like the Final Edition.
