Ducati Strada Aperta spied on the open road

Translating to “open road” it now looks like Ducati’s forthcoming adventure bike is going to be called the Ducati Strada Aperta. In the same vein as the Yamaha TDM, current Triumph Tiger and the KTM 990 SMT, the Strada Aperta is completely road-oriented despite sharing its height and riding position with adventure tourers. It’s also clearly liquid-cooled, but it’s not readily apparent if that’s the 1099cc engine from the Ducati Streetfighter or the larger 1198.4cc engine.
