What new features would sway from current versions being offered?? 3-4 years is usually the norm with little changes. Except for the 1098/1198 series

I have hear a "rumor" of a new 800cc HM, but nothing to replace the current 1100cc.

Dont get me wrong, I really like th HM right out of the box..just curious, so that I make an informed decision. The only really improvement that comes to mind would be to perhaps lighten it up a bit, but that might be too costly for Ducati anyway.

I don't know what the point of having an 800cc version would be... it's not like the 1100 is overpowered - it is just right for the street (lacking for the track though!).

better forks offered on all models would be great! Offer ohlins on the S and KYB's on the standard.
