Just noticed it on the Ducati website. Not much info about it there.

I don't know... apparently your post caused a DDOS attack on both the international and USA sites...

Wut?

Where's Carlos when you need him?

This...

and this.



All I know is that it's the essence of art, Bla Bla Bla.....

The link only appears on the international site, and in place of the 696 on the US site.

But whenever I try to look at it, I get 404s and all kinds of internet grief about "website maintenance."

i expect they're still making the 659 for au, and i think it's sold unrestricted in thailand, plus there's the 795 in asia and the scrambler uses the engine.  so they're still making that bike afaik.

"S2R" replacing the 696 with a SSS?

it's a 796 . . . it seems the complaining about NO air cooled engines got to Bologna . . . how long will it be made, no idea . . .
