Video: Ducati talks Multistrada 1200 - "transform without limits"

[ombra306]

Mejo che parli italiano or take some diction lessons!! JO

[williambrodie]

I hate LCDs, would not buy that bike for this reason (ok they selectore is fine but not the revs and speed)

[huskynox1]

I'll state the obvious - the exhaust is a joke! First time off road it's history.

Good job Ducati - back to the drawing board.

[LtAld0Raine]

@huskynox1 I'll state the obvious too: "off-road" means a whole lot of different situations, including the flat barren ground seen on the video, where the exhaust looks perfectly safe. This bike is not fit for very rough rides, I agree, but how many GS ADV owners actually go (and enjoy it) where the Multistrada can't?

[runxxeroxx]

@huskynox1

Ducati is not just'a off road bike,but if you wana go litlebeat on gravel you can whitout of fear ,Multistrada is not project like a ultimate offroader

[limago123]

"... so we had to copy the BMW GS"

[clevername333]

@limago123, I would take a Ducati any day over anything bmw has to offer.  Not impressed with their styling. I almost bought a bmw 650gs... but got a KTM duke 2 instead. And very glad I did. What a hoot this bike is. Still enjoy riding my buddies Ducs on occasion.

[powersliding]

this bike is high performance, the gs is not, huge difference. this bike is born from the supermotard to hypermotard...the gs was born from enduro's. they ARE different

[mastertony2k4]

we looked at one to eachother. HAHA I love Italians. I wanna get this bike when i get off sportsbikes

[carmattic]

the guy talks like borat

[upforlastnameleft]

As a Triumph fan I must say that's quite impressive

[dodgerider26]

Videos keep getting better everytime... keep up the great work!! You're my favorite channel for moto news.

[aaarsix]

uuuglaaaay

[powersliding]

@aaarsix the front 'beak' destroys the bikes looks, everything else would work

[ElitePower]

I agree that the beak is ugly but the rest of the bike looks good and from a functionality standpoint I'm sure it's an achievement.

[aaarsix]

yea the beak does really kill the looks

[shigechika]

I worry about Multistrada is front heavy on off road.

[Razer998]

this bike is a beauty

[dxhumph]

@CEEPMDEE It's like music, completely subjective and up to the individual.

I think it's a beautiful looking tourer.

[CEEPMDEE]

@dxhumph hey... that's cool with me bro.

I look at it from an artistic point of view and I think the boys at ducati suck at designing bikes.

Honda, yamaha ,suzuki, ktm, triumph & kawasaki have much better designs.

this bike is like the not so attractive girl in school but You might like her because she has a body + she'll give it up.

[powersliding]

this is the only bike that looks bad and that just because of the beak, everywhere else it looks nice and i dont blame people for loving...what i find shocking is to say you look at bikes from an artistic point of view and praising honda? triumph? kawsaki? and not ducati? it is easy to say 'art' but its difficult to understand it

[CEEPMDEE]

ok, I hear what your saying but I am an artist so I think I have a pretty good idea what art is.

I don't know about you but art is supposed to be somewhat appealing to the eye/mind.

if something is poorly designed and slapped with a fat DUCATI logo & a high price, to me that's not art.

the motor cycle is poorly designed... it's an UGLY bike.

just look at how the last & current idiot designers screwed up the 5 series at BMW.

[powersliding]

i am beginning to think you art form is comedy

[CEEPMDEE]

forget it... if you have poor taste then there is really nothing I can tell you.

go buy the bike and look like your riding on a Flintstones teradactyl bike.

[powersliding]

you said ducati designers suck...but not all their bikes look ugly...read back your post...and do you mean to say this bike alone or all ducati bikes?

[japster1358]

@CEEPMDEE if you know what art is, then you should know that art APPEALS differently to every person...

[RicardoR5]

@CEEPMDEE you cannot ever EVER call a bike a form of art, an abject of art cannot serve any orther purpose than itself (being an art item), therefore any car or bike cannot be called art, no matter of how many times people say it. So you fail at art.

[CEEPMDEE]

@RicardoR5 shut the FUCK UP! you fail at logic yewww SHITHEAD you.

matter of fact find a homeless person somewhere and give him head.

you sound foolish.

why do you think certain people are chosen to design cars, bikes, vehicles, homes, clothes, shoes, businesses like malls, certain car assembly plants like the ones where exotic & luxury cars are built?

just look at the last bmw 5 &7 series... I would never hire him to design a car for me... not even my next birthday cake.

Dick!

[RicardoR5]

@CEEPMDEE You sound very mature, you're what 13y old? First i can see by your speech you do not own any kind of degree related to art or design. There is no universally accepted definition of art although the aspect i indicated is commonly used in conjuction with others terms. If you have so deep knowlage of art could you please tell me what 99% of classes in design teachs, regarding ergonomics vs beauty on cars/bikes ?

[CEEPMDEE]

@RicardoR5 1st off your a dickface 2nd they probably teach that ergonomics would be 1st priority but if you ask me what they tought the guy who designed my "08" yzf-r6 he was tought beauty and performance of the bike should be 1st priority because it was Beautiful & fast and that's about it.

other than that you can keep the rest of the crap that you learned in your art class to youself dipshit.

Besides I am a NATURAL artist since 3 and you are school tought now guess who's the better artist.

[TheDuerden]

I dunno what your obsession is with Shaft Drives jjrdias. Thankfully not everyone shares that obsession.

[dbauernf]

This is the same dream Honda had.. but somehow ended up with the new VFR which should have been everything the new multistrada is.. Too bad. The MS got it beaten in every way.

[tonicroatia]

great bike just not sure how it will perform offroad ktm 990adventure is probably gonna whoop its ass at offroading but on the road this bike is the best in its class i'm sure

[TehRealTurbo]

@tonicroatia if i had a ducati, no way would i be taking it offroad!

[tonicroatia]

well they're suggesting it, it has enduro mode and some off road footage in that video, but i'm with you on that one its the road where it shines

[jjrdias]

no shaft drive? the GS and new SuperTenere can sleep sound, no competition here...

[shafro1]

would you really take a 12K bike off road?

[Koho199]

Only if it was a KTM.
