 The bike was still in concept form at the time and production was not guaranteed, but a subsequent post to the online Blog of then Ducati CEO Federico Minoli on 31 March 2006, confirmed that it would indeed go into production and also gave some details of the survey results.Very few changes were made to the prototype to create the first production version, and quirky features such as the 'duck bill' front fender and handguards incorporating LED indicators/ folding mirrors made it to the final version.Later blog entries featured some of the concept drawings and these are incredibly close to the finished machine.
