It's supposed to be the heir of the Multistrada (Stradaperta means Open Road), to be launched in a year.

These are the specs:
1200cc air cooled, dual spark
over 100hp
based on the same frame as the new Monsters 696 and 1100 (but different dimensions)
17" wheels

Not as ugly as the MTS, and the power would be welcome.

I like it.  The fairing looks smaller.  If they make it too small it won't do anything.  Here is the full view.

Why do people keep making different iterations of the HMT and trying to say "this is what the next ______ will look like?

I do like the first one shown, although I think it's based too much on the 696/1100 frame....

Does anyone know the bore/stroke of the new 1200?

Welcome to the future of Ducati... I doubt we'll see anymore full trellis frames coming out of the factory. I'd expect a couple base frames to which they can bolt different rear subs and such...ftr, me likey too BP

The frame in the second pic is not of the 696/1100 variety

The frame in the second one as pointed out above is a photochopped Hyper. I be shocked if it came out like that... at a miniumum that's is a step backward... Ducati seems to be marching forward at the moment... though they have done goofy stuff before.

can we say "Modernized Cagiva Gran Canyon".....me likey ALOT!!!

Does anyone know the bore/stroke of the new 1200?

No such thing.. (yet)...

People in the know have leaked that the Aperta will be liquid cooled. That chop is an 1100 Monster frame+engine underneath.

Streetfighter is trellis. 1198 is still trellis.

how well do you think it'll off-road with some knobbies mounted?

Probably similar to a BMW GS ~

The article says that there are no rumors of an Enduro version, but the issue of the popularity of GS bikes has been under evaluation for a while by Ducati.
