  2. Taken from Ducati Manchester's FB Page at the Dealer Conference yesterday................."Very exciting times for Ducati... #2018Ducati models. #forzaducati"

    So.................either Ducati have become very good at keeping secrets till the launch dates or this is complete flannel.

    Where's your money?

  4. I've just seen on FB that Wilf from Moto Rapido is saying "Ducati model year 2018......I've seen things people wouldn't believe"

    Maybe that's the party line??

  11. 5 new bikes for 2018.
    Depends if they count Scrambler(s) or not, as they're a law unto themselves...

  15. I have to say that I'm slightly underwhelmed. The hype surrounding this all is unreal, but I guess the dealers have to tow the party line.

  16. I just think Ducati are missing such an obvious trick not making a proper 'super naked' or two

    I know its been mentioned time and time again about a panigale based streetfighter, but you have to question why Ducati can't see past the Monster.

    Look around, Yamaha MT10 & MT09, Ktm Superduke, Aprilia Tuono, BMW s1000r, all constantly get rave reviews and sell well. All are generally in a different market to the trusty Monster or at the very least have more modern edgy styling.

    Just surprises me they've not churned something out using the panigale lumps

  18. Well I would hope that a company such as Ducati could be a little more forward thinking than that.

  20. A business is there for 1 reason - to make money... so unless they make money - or expect to make money they wont spend millions on development.
