New 2013 Ducati Models?

Porkchop · 12-28-2012, 02:51 AM

Just opened up the latest Motorcyclist to see a couple new additions to the Ducati line.

The 2013 Hypermotard will now be their liquid cooled 821 cc Testastretta 11° motor. No more air cooled 2 valve motor. Seems interesting that Ducati are moving away from their bread and butter 2 valve motors and dry clutches. Wonder if the Monsters will follow, or stay 2 valve?

They've also added the Hyperstrada to the line-up. This really peaked my interest. I really liked the Hypermotard at the dealer, but didn't want to turn myself into a giant sail ontop of that thing on highway jaunts.

They've also added the Diavel Strada for those of you who wanted more touring with your Diavel.

Wish they would get back into the true sport touring market and bring the ST back.

The specs on the updated HM look really good... Now if they put the big motor into one...
