That thing is just so ridiculous... I think I love it!

Anyone have any idea how she corners with nobbies?

Never thought it would look so good in desert drab.

It seems so wrong... but I want it.  I think that's about the only way I could have an 1199 out here in the boonies and actually be able to use it.  That, and the drab would look good all covered in mud and dust.  Our cars and my Gran Canyon are never clean... just 1 mile down the dirt road and there is dust and/or mud everywhere.

Thought that red room looked familiar... I hope this sticks around until the next time I am in Portland and can visit MotoCorsa.

I think the only think it needs is bar risers though. you don't want to put so much weight over the front in the dirt

Pretty sure I just found the next color scheme for my Multistrada...

Absolutely hate that thing. There, I said it.

That could be cool. Maybe with a brown leather saddle?

If I lived in the city, I'd probably be like "WTF?" as well.  I had the same opinion of the Cayenne.  Then I moved to the sticks... and now such vehicles make more sense.  Not a lot, mind you, but "some" sense as opposed to zero sense.

But in the city?  I agree, such machines are kinda ugly and pretty much pointless.

*That* sounds cool.  Very cool.  If you do it, you must post pics.   

That's ridiculous.

Color looks kinda cool though.

no thank you

I asked Moto Corsa on FB "why?" and they replied with "why not?". The answer to that would be "because it's just plain dumb". I'm a huge proponent of the right tool for the right job and this my friends is an example of the opposite. it seems the people over at Ducati.ms agree with me.

I'm trying to imagine what that would be like on a dirt road.

I do know that even the wheezy ~65 HP W-head 900 in my Gran Canyon could spin that (essentially) same tire at will on good dirt up to 60mph, and the 'meh' twin-pot Nissin front calipers on 296mm rotors had no problem overwhelming the front tire.

So ~3x power and ~2x brakes on very much the same rubber.
