Looks like all the information is up on Ducati's site.

937cc, 113 HP, 72.2 Lb-ft. TQ.

Looks like they're adding an oil cooler to the bike, and changed the lower belt cover.

All in all, looks like they kept the same bike.

The TQ is almost at the level that the 1100 had, so I definitely want to try it out when my dealer gets a demo bike.

Looks like the HS is now back to the "regular" tall version of the bike with 5.9" of suspension travel vs 5.1" for 2015. Seat height is back at 33.5"
 
Gear indicator aswell. Looks ok, probably not enough to make we want to upgrade though.

The pipe is much longer - meaning it's probably quieter and has more catalytic converter inside.

They made a plastic cover for the evap canister :)
 
Pro's:
-Like the stock DP hand guards (unless those are just an option)
-Gear indicator
-Like the uniform width of new pipe (doesn't trumpet); looks too long/big though
-More cc's is always nice

Con's:
-Same bags...maybe a new finish that some have mentioned getting swapped for.
-Why not add a fuel indicator with that gear indicator?
-Only 3 hp/ 6 tq gain from 116cc's? 10% torque is good but when compared to the 1199 #'s, expected more. Added weight doesn't help but, maybe it breathes better than 821 with performance pack.

Fail:
-Same suspension. Surely they read all the customer satisfaction surveys we (me?) filled out. Offering an upgraded suspension package with a ridiculous Italian price tag is just a no-brainer to me. I'm foggy as to why they resist.
 
Looks like the Turn Signals in the Hand Guards went LED...looks way better.

But yeah seems like it should've had a bigger power bump.

My 821 is too new and too awesome to care yet!

The Count
 
I reckon that the oil cooler should be protected better.
Anyway, for the changes they mad to the bike I feel no urge to look for the newest model.
 
I like the new livery on the SP. I think I like the color-matched center panel as well. I might have to order one, along with the hand guards.

That oil cooler looks like something I would damage easily :)

thats still unclear,
all specifications of the new 939 HS i have seen list 130mm front and 130 or 133mm rear and this converts to 5.1", not 5.9.

one of the two listings is wrong, either mm or inch

Front wheel travel
130mm (5.9 in)
Rear wheel travel
130mm (5.9 in)

PS: the HS is still a beautiful bike :)
