We sure would like to know who MCN’s mole is inside Ducati’s R&D department in Borgo Panigale is, because this spy shot they’ve taken is supposedly the maquette of the Ducati Vyper performance cruiser or as the Italians call it the Ducati Mega Monster.
The fact that Ducati is looking into the roadster market is significant and could mean they are actually looking into a new and totally different generation of buyers and try to steal them away from the V-Max or the V-Rod crowd, with the mystique and exclusiveness that the name Ducati carries with it, and this would be a first for them, if this cruiser ever comes to being.
At the moment the clay model has the classic Ducati trellis frame, a Monster first series tank and tail and it seems a single swingarm, but models like these are made up and thrown away at least a dozen of times a year, so we’ll just have to wait and see what the final result could be.
