anyone ?? well, we know of at least one!
and then I'll have to decide on whether to trade the Sherpa....
Saw the sneek preview a couple of hours ago. It only showed it's snake eyes and part of its head
So does this mean the next monster will have a 1200 power plant??????

I just want to know what the bit round the back wheel is for ???
Seems like it serves no purpose or is it a tow hitch for your Gold Wing or Harley trailer?
Its something to remove when you buy it.Ducati know how we like to work on our bikes ;D
finally they did a bike that looks as good as what they are [bow_down]
looks like you'll need another storage space for the parts that will be striped off your new Multi then [laugh]
MMMmmmmmmmm Multistrada.......... [bow_down] [bow_down] [bow_down]
No Trev keep your Monster and the Virgins

Don't fight it Trev you haven't a chance, Just let it happen. You haven't ridden until you have ridden a Multi . [bow_down] [bow_down]

Quite simple ... to meet the ADRs.

You realise that if it was removed your motorcycle would be completely UN-roadworthy and be a danger to yourself and the public in general particularly all those law-abiding motorists.
If it was removed it would effect the handling of the motorcycle rendering it incapable of being ridden in the manner for which it was intended. The fact that you have even considered removing an integral part of a road going motorcycle demonstrates the reckless behaviour that gives motorcyclists a bad name. You should be ashamed of yourself.
OK that's enough

Yeah!
I dig the black bike alot. [moto]
That piece of black plastic on the back reminds me of the back end of a BMW GS Adventurer
one swift kick should do the trick in removing it. [thumbsup]
Pricing??
Yep, it's looking good. Electronically adjustable suspension, ABS and traction control....
I'm sure I'm not the only one that has an 'appreciation' for Italian electronics !! Should make this bike hair-raising fun!
still want one though....
I have been told about 30k plus for S, considering what your getting not bad for 4 bikes in one [laugh]
TC,ABS, ESA,slipper clutch, keyless start, 150hp 4 valver GPS compatible heated grips and the list goes on. [bow_down] [bow_down]
Ducati Multistrada 1200 concept video (English) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Agc9NInB158&feature=player_embedded#normal)
if you can turn traction control of in sports mode i want one , buy me one please dock [bow_down]
Ahh but will it make me a decent cup of coffee. [roll]
Now if they made a shorter\smaller one of these I could be in serious trouble budget-wise. The black one looks purdy. [thumbsup] [thumbsup]
Hmmmmm very interesting.
I could see a Multi and SBK future......
geez, they're all starting to fall for it.... :o
150hp could be fun, but it still doesn't look as good as a Monster.
Quite a cool video except for some of the pronunciation.
Do you have to buy all four helmets separately?
Oh wait its a Ducati ... you have to buy the helmets piece by piece ... and they must be assembled by your authorised Ducati dealer.

Similar to the 796?
I would suspect that there may be a greater market for the smaller bikes in the current global economy. Correct me if I am wrong but i don't think the 620 Multi was a huge success (but it was also carrying the huge weight of ugliness).
Just do everyone a favour and offer an 'S' version of the little bikes too.
Argh don't remind me. What I don't know can't hurt me (or destroy my bank balance!) [bang] [bang] [bang]
I have way too much spare room in my shed.
But yes if they bought out a smaller multi like the smaller motard, with all the features of the bigger, AND IF I needed a new motobike, then maybe I could be tempted. But they haven't and I don't.
Ooooohhh, wet clutch ... interesting:
http://www.multistrada.ducati.com/jspmulti/techspecs.jsp (http://www.multistrada.ducati.com/jspmulti/techspecs.jsp)
yeah wet clutch and someone is already looking at a dry clutch conversion!
I nickname it "the beak". Other than that nose, it looks cool.
Looks good but in a few years it won't. just ain't 8)
All that stuff and No auto transmission ,pwr steering or mp3 [roll]
Engine specs look good. [thumbsup]
What's the old saying KISS Keep it Simple Stupid, is the go on bikes.
4 bikes in one may be,
but looks like just one BMW adventure bike. :o
If you want any of the above rolled into one with style, Monster (in Black) [thumbsup][thumbsup] 8)
Red if you want sporty ;D
thread to the top!
Nice shovel work.
