Not for me or betty can't reach so we are staying loyal monster owners

Me too, if I want something that goes on dirt I'll buy a dirt bike.
Monster Baby!

I just want to know what the bit round the back wheel is for

Quite simple ... to meet the ADRs.

Its something to remove when you buy it

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.


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  

TC,ABS, ESA,slipper clutch, keyless start, 150hp 4 valver GPS compatible heated grips and the list goes on.

Ducati Multistrada 1200 concept video (English)

if you can turn traction control of in sports mode i want one , buy me one please dock 

Ahh but will it make me a decent cup of coffee.    

Now if they made a shorter\smaller one of these I could be in serious trouble budget-wise. The black one looks purdy. 

Hmmmmm very interesting.
I could see a Multi and SBK future......

geez, they're all starting to fall for it.... 

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!) 

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:

yeah wet clutch and someone is already looking at a dry clutch conversion!
