two months before the eicma in milan it's time to push the rumour-mill.:D i'm pretty sure we'll see these new releases for my 10:

new multistrada (internal factory code cayenne) standard + s
monster 696 abs
1198 r biposto
848 s

heard rumours about a restyled hypermotard with 1200 ccm (air/watercooled?)
upgraded sport classic 1000 biposto ?
new colorschemes ?
ducati design studie (cruiser,supermono,supersport,crosser,scooter - nothing is impossible) ?
 
eh, forgot the specs for the bimota cracks here:

bimota db7 and tesi naked versions (vs ducati 'streetfighter')
db 7 r ?
 
I've heard rumours of at least 1 surprise model which I'd think has to be a parts bin special using existing bits as given the state of sales development budgets must be cut back. Its taken them a year to get the multi replacement ready so I'm assuming they haven't got a lot new, usually they release a new model in summer to help sales but this year they haven't.

New sport classic would be difficult unless it was just a restyle but they do need cheaper bikes so using the air cooled engine in a sport bike makes sense. Current pricing is restricting sales and dealers are complaining at Ducati about it so if they don't want to deviate from their premium price/increased margin plan they are going to struggle.

I can't see a water cooled HM, surely the point was the HM and Monster were the air cooled bikes and SF the high powered beast? putting a heavy engine in a big supermoto doesn't make sense to me but its one of the easiest options for them.
 
1198 r biposto

can't see how that would work.. the R, is the race variant, how that works as a bip I can't see.... that said, it's Ducati, and anything is possible.

Is it not time for the 1298 to be launched anyway.... 1198's been out for ages

i'm with you. it's a total opposite but you can dare the italians everything...(probably the description means only 1198 standard + s)
