Like that classic - At least it's visage isn't dominated by protruding nostrils.

I'm gonna find a whooped up Triumph triple, and fix it!

Theres a couple Ducs I drool over now and then..........

I just saw a ZX-12 for $1200. Tear off the busted fairings, slap some upright bars on there, and hit it with some headlights? What a hooligan ride! Wish I had the
$1200.




The Buell is still my favorite. It's getting taller bars this winter. I can't hate.........you should see my "short" list.
Man I need to win the lottery!

Had that discussion with the Mrs last night.

The best bike for our current needs would be a 955i Tiger - ohlins, race tech, breathe on it slightly, race pipe, and for about half the cost of the Multi Strudle you've got a great adventure-touring bike that can fit off road tyres.

The Classic works for me. Love the retro look. It must because I am old.

Haters. Yeah, the beak is ugly. The bike is incredible, though. I need to get a test ride.

It seems like it literally will do everything I want in a bike well enough to be good at it.

Ride me out to Utah, nail some gnarly curves on the way, and then hit some dirt (nothing crazy, but more than my S3 is gonna do).

Then shoot out to Death Valley and do it again.

Someone needs to do a vid with the Multi nostrils sucking up the white line.

Lovely, cheers Dave, I'd not heard that for an age.

Far as the bikes go, my choices are restricted by the fact I don't want chain drive.

I've ridden the new Multi, It's a blast on the street, not sure how it behaves on dirt. For my money (I'm cheap) I'd rather have a Tiger 1050 w/ABS...were I to spend Duc $$ it would be a R1200GS...

Nothin' the matter with falling in love with a good looking Italian gal.

Happens alla time.

Partial to the red heads m'self.

I test rode one a few month ago....I love it too , but it don't come cheap or even close with the bags and heated grips . IMO it rides a lot like a uly but with 50 more horsepower(uly with a 1125 in it) . Very nice bike BUT I bought a uly for less than half the money and I don't need all that power to tour. You can get a 1125 and a uly for that kind of $$

Yeah, you can, but the point is now you don't need two bikes.

And remember, if Buell weren't defunct, a Uly with bags and an 1125R would be over $24,000 in motorcycles.

Yes but I would have TWO BUELLS instead of one Ducati . I still think 2 is better that one . 3 or 4 is even better

Don't get me wrong - I have an 1125CR and an S3T and I love them both enough to have no interest in getting rid of either one, BUT...

A bike that can take on whatever mood or road is encountered? That's just friggin' cool.

I think the biggest thing for me about this bike is if you look at it as nothing more than a Sport Tourer, it's lighter than anything else in that segment by a long shot. That's been a constant turn off to me on things like the C14 or ST1300. I don't know why they need to be so damned heavy, and the MS1200 shows that they don't need to be.

And if you don't need the electronic suspension, $15k. Not THAT bad, me thinks.

Doesn't much matter - at that price, a Uly is likely next up for me.

But I can dream.

I just talked to a guy with a new MultiStrada....He HATES IT. Says the fueling is horrible. almost impossible to ride at normal speeds and be comfortable..

May want to look into that.

I've ridden it, it is noticeable but not terrible. Better than a stock XB.

Fueling was an issue on the 1125 when it came out, some revised programming fixed that.

I wish somebody would turn on the light in the ducati.com website. Can see a thing in there. All dark.

Some website designer got too fancy for their own good.

That Sport Classic Ducati is a beauty, and one of the sales staff at the local H-D dealership has an absoluely spotless one with Termignioni exhaust system on it for sale. I cant't believe his boss lets him park that thing out front; it is freakin' stunning. I want it soooooo bad!
