I have been saying that Ducati needs to make a single for years. 

I don't know if it is financially feasible for them, certainly not in the USA.  And their price probably would be too high to be successful in Asian markets where 400cc bikes are popular.

I know I would buy one in a minute -- 50hp more or less about 300lbs out of the box.

But the effort for them would probably be too much -- new frame,  crankcase design, crank.  I think they could use off the shelf forks and brakes (smaller than the monster type) and reuse the piston/cylinder/head from one of the other bikes...

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I think this bike with other exhaust & belly pan would be the ticket!!!    [thumbsup]

Never Considered the Cayenne a mini-van. I always thought it was a mid-SUV.  :)
