Hyperstrada in 2010???

[olehen]

I found this in a French Magazine. Apparently Ducati informed some dealers about a new modele for 2010 to compete against the BMW 1200 GS:
1/3 HM : frame + engine
1/3 MS: riding position + windshield
1/3 1098 : front end and headlight

This is a photoshop pics made by the magazine as per the info received by the dealers:

Rumours of a GS challenging Ducati have been circulating for some time, often referred to as the "Strata Aperta", ie "Open Road." I hope the one depicted in the photoshop rendition is not even close, as it's merely a MS with reworked fairings/lamp IMO.

Man, it looks as though they took the worst of all three bikes and made a Versys knock off. It's ugly but still better looking than a 1200GS.

I disagree, I think it looks alright.

I would agree with that, I like it.

Awww man!!!! I got all excited thinking it was that custom Hyperstrada with the Acerbis headlight. I think it looks allright but needs a bigger front fender like the GS.

Again, the french motorcycle magazine (very known magazine in France) is clearly mentioning that they did a photoshop of what the Ducati's rep said to dealers. this is not a pictures of a prototype draft by Ducati itself. But I think it is an interesting exercize with the GS1200 in their target scope. Hey, they created the Streetfighter to go after the Brutale market.

Everything ive read said 4 valve, liquid cooled. Multistrada.net has been discussing this new bike a lot. It will probably be my next bike if it looks half decent.

It has possibilities! Maybe a little too much like a Triumph Tiger.

I too would buy won if if was a little more dual sport like. I was just thinking on the way to work that it would be nice to have a dual sport Hyper. I thought you could modify the subframe to hold some hard bags from a Multi, put on some knobbies like the snow rider, some HIDs, and add some type of half fairing (more BMW GS like).

Hypers are cheap now, may as well buy a second one and fab up some goods and hit the trails.

Out!

Certainly this has been shown or mentioned here before...

My understanding is they are currently working on an 1100cc version, as well as a kit to retro-fit your own Duc if you so desire.

Just FYI...
