I think I agree with you about the M1200 being done and over. I really think there’s a bigger chance to see a Monster 937 “S” vs a 1200.
I don’t think the Multi 950 is leaving us, though – they just renamed it the Multi V2 with bold new graphics and a 11lbs weight loss.

“The Multistrada 950 was never a true off-roader in Ducati’s lineup, and it is now too heavy and bulky to compete with the growing competition in the space from Aprilia, KTM, Triumph, and Yamaha.”
Considering where it actually has landed in the market, you might say that it’s an “everyday wonder.”

In reply to Will.

If you zoom in, you can see a single-sided swingarm.

BikeSocial got to ride the new Pike’s Peak. Video just came up this morning. Ducati gave them 0 specs, however.

I predict the end of the 1200 Monster… hard to justify with a growing capacity twin and the various streetfighters in the range too.
I could also see the MTS 950 being replaced by the Desert-X….

“Rule all mountains” – IoM Mountain Course – Neo-MHR?

“Mark your roots” – belt driven cam Desmo – Neo-600SL Pantah?

Something potentially Twins Cup competitive with style and character otherwise missing from Twins Cup? “I gotta have one!!!” effect that’s been missing from the sportbike market for almost 2 decades? Yeah, wishful thinking on my part….

I’m super curious about the first reveal. I’ve been wrong bajillions of times, but I can’t fathom there being room in a lineup for a Monster, larger Monster, V2 Streetfighter, and V4 Streetfighter.

As my evidence I submit how they quietly dropped the Monster 1200R when the V4 Streetfighter came out, and the simple naming of the “Monster” without any engine size connotations made me assume a discontinuation of 1200 was around the corner.

Speaking of the Streetfighter, I hope the V2 is indeed what is coming, as if the “reveal” is the V4 Streetfighter SP I’ll be massively underwhelmed.

Why don’t they slap some fairings on a scrambler? Oh wait, what am I saying, that’s a Supersport.
