I'm reeaaaly curious to see what they do with the "Monster/Brutale/Tuono Crossover".  Depending on riding position, I may be trading for new.

Heard that it was going to be called a "street fighter" with the 1098 engine.  It is going to ride more upright like the hyper.   [moto]

There's also an all-new model that, “is a cross between a Tuono, Brutale and fits between Monster and Hypermotard.” It will be powered by the outgoing water-cooled 1099cc engine from the 1098, but with a smaller airbox that means less power and shotgun-style dual exhausts mounted on one side.

Reliable sources say it will be called the S4FOMG.
