Rumours on Ducati 2009 models

New rumours on the Hellforleathermagazine site have revealed some juicy news on the Monster 1100, the Superbike 1198 and the highly anticipated Street Fighter 1098.
While 2009 Ducati models will likely be shown at EICMA in Milan in November, some forward insight is always appreciated.
The 1098 will experience an increase in cylinder and performance, reaching 1198cc, the same as the 1098R.

We might also see a restyling in the front of the bike, and an obviouse increase in price, at least on the US market.
The Monster 1100 could be teamed with an S version, and better performing Ohlins suspension.
But the big news is in the street fighter 1098.
The name could be changed to Hyperfighter which would indicate some of the changes to be made to this bike.
This new motorcycle, halfway between a Monster and a Hypermotard, has a 1098 engine inherited from its superbike sister.
We could see a styling cross between the Aprilia Tuono and the Brutale, with side exhausts.
All we have to do is wait for the Eicma show in Milan.
