One of Ducati fans posted on his Facebook page the first picture of the new Ducati 899. Motorcycle get similar from 1199 Panigale «frameless" design, but will be equipped with a smaller engine displacement and a classic dual rear swingarm. Of course, these differences from the "big brother" will affect the price of 899 - it will be less.
This practice is typical for motorcycles from Bologna - Ducati sport bikes ever produced versions with engines of average volume. 748 looked like a 916, 848 - as 1098, and now the 899 will mimic 1199.
Not visible on the image frame, so that, apparently, the engine as well as in 1199 is used as a carrier element - as a front subframe will operate the air filter housing, and the rear sub-frame is secured to a vertical cylinder. Will the camshaft drive chain 899 is Panigale, or will be used for the traditional Ducati timing belt? It's not clear.
In addition to the motor 899 will be different cheaper dual pendulum, in other wheels and a "budget" front fork. Characteristic motor should remind Evo 848 with its 140 horsepower. It is expected that the opening 899 in November this year at the EICMA.
