File this under the ‘who knows if its true category’, but there’s a rumor floating around claiming that the Multistrada 1000 and 1000S are going to be dropped next year in favor of a new bike.
This new model will be rebadged as the Multistrada 1200 because the engine displacement will be increased thanks to a big bore kit. It is said that the bike will also feature an Ohlins suspension and a wet clutch. Rumor has it that pricing is supposedly going to remain consistent with the current 1000S model.

I’d love to see this, though I’d be surprised to see a 1200 introduced so early given that plans for this displacement for the superbikes are on a longer timeline.
i’m also worried about the price point if a non-S model is not offered too, though this seems consistent with other rumors that ducati is getting out of the low and mid-level bikes and shifting focus to high-end models.
[edit] i guess it helps to read the news in order as a subsequent article confirmed a suspected displacement bump to 1100 and the retention of both S and standard models
