So staying as 959 Capacity? I'd imagine it would be Euro 5 Compliant so wonder if it will loose some power or if they have managed to do the other manufacturer trick of keeping the power the same. It's got the same brakes, the magazines will slag them off but I thought they were okay, no issues for me when I had my 899, Likewise the suspension will be lovely. It will be a must to have a blipper as even the Supersport S has one, so imagine spec wise it's bang on. We could even wish for a nice dash like the Hyper 950 (derived from the V4 I believe). I think it will look great when finished, love that rear wheel design, let's hope they don't get it really wrong with pricing.
This one? I cannot begin to imagine how much this one will cost. Ducati need to be careful they don't just become a company selling rich man's trinkets.
They aren't I don't think. They sell more scramblers than anything else (although I wonder how many Scrambler 400's they sell)

The Multi is still the biggest seller apparently...Scrambler sales have slowed after the initial flurry.
