this is the new monster with the Testastreta engine (the 999S engine)
rated at 130hp
I've been following this one for quite some time on the monster forums. I considered the old S4R this year as I love my wifes S2R that is in the garage but like the power of my Honda VTR more. I couldn't part with the 18 large for a left-over 2004 model though......
Here is another shameless pic of my wifes S2R
It sure looks like Ducati did not want to be outdone by BMWs HP2. I have seen the HP2 in person and from the pictures this Ducati is sexier but I guess all Ducati's are sexy.
Ducati is calling it a Hypermotard and of course Mike already has the press kit information posted here on TMW. Take a look.
