I really liked the idea of the multi, but the current model is just so ugly from the front. I like this new one alot more, and it's certainly an improvement, but I don't think it's quite there yet.

maybe leave it in the oven for another 30 min. or so :mrgreen:

EDIT: well, now I don't know. I really dig the side-profile. I think the Tiger is better looking from the front, but the Multi looks better from the side. :shrug:

This statement is typically made by Kurt just before he decides to purchase one.

Sure is a pretty bike.

Italian design always a delight see on motorcycles among other things. I can't wait for a test ride. I heard they have very good suspension.

Although you probably need to befriend a good mechanic to keep it going.

No longer need a mechanic - just an electronics tech!

"MULTISTRADA 1200: FOUR-BIKES-IN-ONE!

Four different motorcycles, available at the touch of a button, change the fundamental characteristics of the new Multistrada 1200. Power and torque delivery, suspension settings, and traction control can be changed – even while riding – to enable the motorcycle to adapt to the needs of the rider and not the other way around. With the Multistrada 1200, Ducati introduce the concept of four-bikes-in-one with four Riding Modes: Sport, Touring, Urban and Enduro.

"RIDE-BY-WIRE

The ride-by-wire system is an electronic interface between the throttle grip and the engine which decides the ideal power delivery of the engine depending on the Riding Mode selected and the rider’s throttle input. The throttle grip no longer uses a throttle cable, but instead delivers a signal to the control unit, which in turn operates the throttle body butterflies.

The ride-by-wire system enables three different engine mappings to adjust the total power output and the way in which it is delivered. The three maps offer 150hp with a sports-type delivery, 150hp with a progressive delivery and 100hp also with progressive delivery. "

Also, electronic suspension control and traction control.

I sure hope it's waterproof.

With a weak dollar and high-end electronics to boot, cuanto cuesta?

I am guessing it will be around 18-20K.

You know, from the front, it looks like a platypus. Maybe it'll look better in other photos, or in person, but it's certainly not as attractive as I think most people were hoping for. However, it has the same problem as the Ulysses. It has motard wheels. You ain't taking that too far off the road without knobbies.

Remove the low fender and spoon on a 17" D606 rear? :lol2:
