At last some news of the press launch of the Supersport. Though they claim it has cornering ABS which it sadly doesn't have, unless Ducati have had a change of mind?

Ducati SuperSport first ride incoming | MCN

We'll know if the 939 will really come without the cornering ABS when the test ride takes place as they generally like to test everything under the sun including every drive mode and ABS. Would be a shame if we don't get it, but maybe Ducati had to keep costs down.

I saw the new SS at the Chicago IMS show yesterday (2/11/17) and spoke to the Ducati rep for quite some time about this new model. He said that this bike has cornering ABS. I am looking forward to some reviews of production bikes as I am strongly leaning towards this model as my next motorcycle.

February 22nd seems to be the day they'll be taking them for test rides so we should get valuable information the day after or so. Hopefully at least. Maybe even some vids so we can really take a look at how it reacts.

Is that Feb 22 date published anywhere?

Yup, in that same link above.

Check back here on Tuesday and on MCN’s social media channels to find out if the SuperSport is really the bike we’ve all been waiting for and read the full test in the February 22 issue of MCN.

Yup, in that same link above.

We’ll be riding the new Supersport at its world launch next Tuesday in Spain, on the road and at the Monteblanco circuit.

Read above in the same article. Next tuesday is today 14/02/2017.

The Feb 22 is the date for their printed magazine issue.

Cool, thanks...

Must be others riding it too Feb 14, but not seeing anything in print. Wonder why it's being kept so silent. Maybe Ducati instructed them to keep it under wraps, and then a Big Bang coming!

Visordown have said they are riding it. Elsewhere in this forum someone posted about cycleworld riding it as well.

Hope we hear a bit on the 14th...not that it will make much of a difference to me as some of the other guys said. But still interesting.

It's gonna be a fantastic bike.
