Supersport please; including an S, R & RS version! With a trellis frame and adjustable headstock. And loads of torque and bottom end grunt (HP ain't no good if it ain't got the torque to get there !) Single sided swinging arm, and a ride height adjuster as standard.. So a new version of the 748 with a bigger engine (916? !)
What sells well? Yamaha MT07/09 Triumph Street Triple I'd bet on something 650-900cc, good value, good quality, amazing looks. New era Ducati.
1299 DVT multistrada with scratch proof speedo screen (full colour), ohlins mechatronic suspension, backward compatibility on seats, screens and luggage. Rear brake (optional), 60 month or 60k mile warranty, tyre pressure monitors, quick shifter and auto blip. True 250 mile range, rust proof chain 15\42 as standard. Red frame, carbon everything, magnesium wheels with PR4 tyres. Adjustable tax disk holder.
I DON`T want it to be a new 1299 street fighter, because I would not be able to stop myself paying lots of money I don`t have in order to upgrade from my present one.
As much as I would love a new Streetfighter I would imagine it wouldn't be that. I'll go with mid-range tourer style bike; mini multistrada.
Please be an 800 gp replica. Not exactly new territory for them but since their demise I've really hoped one manufacturer would give it a go. If they could keep the price less than a weeks shopping too I'd even go hungry and get one.
a learner bike like the ktm or yamaha yzf get then brand hooked young then a panigale 300 v twin a Ducati chopper massive engine like a vmax diavel cross 899 multistrada budget value take on the MT 09
Given that the Drivel is just a re-badged Harley, Audi will be looking for another manufacturers model that they can copy with parts they have in the bins already, quick & cheap to get to market. take your pick really.
Perhaps they'll bring back the 916 marque in all it's sexy glory, but with timing belts that don't need changing for at least 5 years or 20,000 miles. Oh and they'll probably keep the price down to below £10k .....
