if it was a real concept, you'd think they would use the new ducati logo.

Wow.

The ugliest Ducati (or Ducati project, sketch or whatsoever) I’ve ever seen, even taking in account the Indiana

So I can’t believe it is true…

The 1400cc 170hp prototype is said to be already in running form, and has started preliminary tests at the Bologna factory.

Slated for release in 2010, the Vyper will make around 170hp, a boat-load of torque, and wear the standard Ducati trellis frame..
???

The image though is an artist rendition of the idea.

I covered this on my site a couple of weeks ago. There are some pointers that suggest it is real base don comments from an Australian Ducati importer. All the details are here

We can only hope its a joke. Come to think of it, if they go ahead with it, it'll be a joke.

Thumbs up Hot IMHO



I think it's Hot!!
What's wrong with it? A Duc that's fun on the road! Their Superbikes are awesome on the track, but not fun to ride slow on the street. It would be cool to be able to stick with a Duc for a your cruiser bike.

An '86 Kawasaki Spectre is better looking than a Multistrada...
