  2. 899 panigale. Doubt it will happen. Not cost effective. If it does though, I'm in!:upyeah:

  3. Sad day if true, but hey at least I'll have one of the last ones :smile:

    899 Panigale, not sure that will happen, just steal all the sales from the 1199 :biggrin:

  9. From what volume of 848's out there, this seems like a pretty successful mass production bike for Ducati. Why are thy discontinuing?

  10. The 848 has been Ducati's best selling sportsbike. To discontinue it must surely mean something else is in the pipeline for the near future..?

  11. Pani lookalike with the 821 Hyperstrada motor ????????????? Just conjector mind you. :wink:
     
    #111 NZDave, Apr 7, 2013
  12. Yep, that 821 motor is obviously the key element.
     
    #112 figaro, Apr 7, 2013
  13. It's not just the motor though. How's it going to be spec'd? To achieve some of the levels of the 1199 is going to push the price up too much. I'd love it to happen, really would but I can't see it.

  14. Told by who?

  15. Ducati dealer just back from Italy.

    The 821cc motor in the new Hyper is a gem. Had a test ride on one yesterday.

  16. So ducati would tell a random dealer from the UK before doing a full press launch of a replacement model? :rolleyes:

    I don't think even ducati are that stupid.

  17. I can foresee a sportsbike for the road, maybe a 'Panigale' Light just as the Hyperstrada is to the Multistrada.

    Bear in mind the new Hyper bikes have DTC, the latest spec ABS and riding modes and the MRP is around £10k.

  18. The new bike is just a rumour, the finish of the 848 isn't.

    Ducati do keep the dealers informed of what they are doing and when i asked about an 899 Pani, i was told that they have to fill the space in the range with something.

  19. Large corporations design, develop and launch products to a standard format and marketing plan. Giving titbits to dealers is not normally part of a marketing plan IME

  20. Well its not the way Ducati work from what i have been told.
