This new Strada quite a step up from the original model. I couldnt be more happy than with my 04 Strada. Lightweight, awesome in twisties, and adequate on highway. Air cooled and cheaper maintenance. This new one whole new gig. Seems way over engineered ala Beemer. If reliability is good and maintenance not a beating could really be an ultimate sport tourer/adventure bike. Time will tell. I too will be looking for one in a few years i am sure

well, if ducati is known for anything, it's reliability ;)

it could be a badass bike, and the veritable swiss army knife of bikes...  I'm curious on riding position, seat height, handling, and electronics.  It seems like a lot of firsts for ducati in the electronics department, but I admit to being very very intrigued.

this might be the best ducati to wait for the second year though.

Porsche is involved with the switchable suspension electronics on the new Multi.  Strange match-up if you ask me  ;D  Oh well, I'll make my judgements on the new bike when it hits the showroom in March

Wasn't Porsche looking to buy Ducati before it got cash strapped and swallowed by VW?

Sounds like Ducati let the fox in the hen house and almost lost the farm. Thank you VW
