What The Internetz Thinks.....................the Latest Ducati Rumour

That market is pretty much sorted with Honda and KTM (and others)
Can't see a gap myself
.... IMHO

 

Probably just rumour to stoke up the KTM buyer

Then it would make sense

 

It's a ducati,so it must be better than the competition

 

Isn't 450 the capacity limit of Dakar bikes ? Co-incidence ?

TB

 

Wonder why they haven’t entered a 950 or enduro? It’s built for that., isnt it?

 

The same image and speculation appears in this article from Dirt Rider Mag - 14 August 2010

Coming soon then - after 9 years it must be nearly here

 

Is the 950 or Enduro within the 450 cc capacity limit for Dakar.

TB

 

Load of ballacks.

Although I'm sure ducati would have resources to build a 450

 

Is there an absolute limit? How do the old Africa twins compete?

 

450 is the limit for Dakar

 

It used to be 950 but the bikes were too fast, too many fatalities.

TB

 

Learn something new every day. Only since 2011....

 

How many of the bitsa's (sorry prototypes) do you have in the shed (sorry wooden garage)?

 

None, only a confirmed prototype and it's in the bike room
