It looks like the next Hypermotard will have the 848 Testastretta 11 engine.

Maybe, but it wouldn't make much sense with the 848 SF.  Who wants a heavier Hyper?  They need to figure out how to take it down under 350 lbs to have something worth talking about.

Maybe a multi 848?

Ducati's making a motard?!

I didn't know that. What's next? Cruiser or an Adventure

I agree with MN Monster.

They listened! I said I wanted an Multi 848!

Looks to have a luggage mount in the back there and the seats not flat as the current hyper

Hmmmm

i want a Multi 848!!!!

The Multi 848 seems like the next logical move, however Ducati seems to defy logic. I wonder how long before they release a 848 Panigale.

Yup.  I hear it has a left facing eagle on the tank.

There will be a special model for your market with an emu.

I have heard that increasing noise & CO emmision limits may end up killing the air cooled engine. Even Harley has a new patent on a watercooled twin.  I just hate that all the bikes in ducatis line up are ending up using the same engine, not that the 11 degree testa is a bad engine, but bikes like the hyper  & the monster need a torquier engine like the single cam air cooled motor.  Maybe a single cam water cooled if the air cooled motor can no longer meet emmision standards.  I am still holding out hope for a big bore testa air cooled with 3 valve heads.

Could be for luggage, but could also just be for any data logging device/s they want to attach during the testing phases. 

Ehhh... I'd rather have Travman's Darmah. Motard footard. And what the hell is up with that muffler cannon?

Looks like a HM.  I hope Ducati aren't having to go to a 100% watercooled line up.
