Ducati news: a roadster and a V4-powered Diavel for 2019 ?

Ducati is turning its back on its historic twin-cylinder architecture with its new 2018 Panigale V4, a 214 hp Superbike powered by a new 4-cylinder V-cylinder. This new engine could power a new sporty roadster in 2019…. and the Journal Moto du Net likes to imagine it in the Diavel trellis frame !

Ducati has both a strategic and an economic card to play, insofar as amortizing the expensive V4 on several motorcycles would be more profitable than on the only Panigale … See you at EICMA in Milan (Italy) this fall for see if these hypothetical Streefighter V4 and Diavel V4 will become a reality: stay tuned !
