Usually we don’t see too many new motorcycle models coming from Ducati but they have been working on the Diavel for some time now and it will finally make its debut at the EICMA International Motorcycle Show in Milan next month.

No specs have yet to be released but we know it will be a powerful bike as not only is it made from Ducati but it will feature a Testastretta 11 engine and will weigh in at only 207 kg which is only 456 lbs. Unfortunately all we have is the one teaser picture above but we will keep you updated as we receive some more images.

What a great looking bike the Ducati Hypermotard 796 is. Coming in either a Matte Black, Matte White, and Ducati Red finish. The bike is rumored to priced below the $10,000 mark which will make this a great deal. The bike also features an all-new Ducati 796 engine good for 81hp and incredible fuel mileage, an APTC “wet” clutch offering a slipper action to prevent rear-end destabilization during aggressive down-shifting. The Ducati Hypermotard 796 is set for a November 2009 release.
