This is the bike to have for 2010 in my opinion. I would love a hypermotard too but I would lose my license. This seems to be the best of both worlds, mad, fun, sensible, practicle and comfortable all in one.

Wish I had the money.

They remind me of Gordon Murray, the Mclaren f1 designer when told about the Bugatti Veyron, he said: "The most pointless exercise on the planet has got to be this four-wheel-drive 1,000 horsepower Bugatti". And then after he drove it: "It's a huge achievement ...

So, these guys are blaming the bike before knowing it, there's only one word to describe it: stupidity ....

Gona get me a MS1200 s touring in 4 months, yay for me, finally my extra hours will be rewarded

@NULUSIOS well said about the shaft drive...

[NULUSIOS]

Great bike.

I now have a 1200GS.

What I would miss if I went with the Italian stallion?

19" front wheel (would help greatly off road, wouldn't be a problem on road), longer suspension (why couldn't they add 3" more? esp. since it is adjustable?), SHAFT DRIVE! (which for touring and maintenance ABSOLUTELY RULES over chain)

If this had SHAFT DRIVE, I would have it as my next bike.

Well maybe next multistrada...

I was on Cristinano Ronaldos old Ducati MultiStrada today! So nice! Mind you I still think I'll much prefer this new model.

@medwards82 - i agree with medwards82 this new multistrada is an awesome bike for sure. But its no enduro.

The older 1100 multistrada was already superior to the bmw gs on - road. but the bmw was better off road with its longer travel suspension and bigger 19 inch front wheels and enduro tires.

I would have preferred that ducati improve the off road capabilities of their multistrada

still, the multistrada 1200 seems to be the more exciting motorcycle :)

they've tried something new and it's not to everyones taste, so what? stop moaning.

considering how small a company ducati is, they make some great bikes.

it's different and that's what owning a ducati is about.

i have 2 bikes at the moment, a ktm 660 and a ducati 1098, this sort of bike could replace both of them when i get a little older

A really cool idea and some great innovations. If I was wealthy I might consider it. But even then, no way would I take it offroad. From reading about other Ducati repair experiences, its safe to guess a 10 mph tipover would result in a $1000+ repair bill. And you would want to repair it to keep it looking pretty. In a nutshell, that makes it no enduro. Nice dirt roads, sure.

It is quite an achievement as a powerful, lightweight, probably maneuverable sport tourer.

That is one ugly bike. Everything is fine apart from that beak / air intake. It seems that Ducati went How can we copy some features of the R1200GS to make it look like this bike is an adventure bike and all they did was stick a GS-style beak on it and made it look even worse, if thats possible, by adding the intakes. Plus sticking the intakes in the beak (if this is the case) is stupid based on the splash patterns I have experienced on the GS. This bike is just a new Triumph Tiger.
