Is Ducati developing a liquid-cooled Hypermotard?

HyperStrada 821.  Doesn't exactly fly off the tongue.

Cable actuated clutch though...  Interesting.  No more black clutch fluid...

Brad, OT I know but what have you got against the 1200 MTS motor? Are you leery of the corroding heads etc or was it that you don't like the feel from the 11 deg overlap etc?

i just find engines that big somewhat silly, especially in aust where the high enforcement of speed limits and impounding 'hoon' laws makes it somewhat risky to ride a bike over 110km/h in most places.  likewise 1098 and 1198 and anything large actually.  it's just a personal thing, but i'm over bikes that fast.  i have too many commitments to lose my licence.
