Hmm, replacement to the Multi? Looks like the same frame as the new Monster

HHMMM interesting, and it is white, well there you go.

Pic...

yeah looks pretty much like the same platform just a different skirt!
Kinda the way the car manufactures have been doin` it for years now.
Same DNA different face.

hmmmm, verrrry interesting... I could sell the BMW and get this instead in 12 months ! Keep the stable entirely Italian.

yes Ivan all italian is very good

and they said the first one was ugly  [puke]

the windshield has the fine aroma of 'essence of dork'

will someone please buy this and sell me their s2r1000 please????  ;D

The borrowed footpeg wings need to go. Bad enough on the monsters...

Otherwise I think it looks good for a dual-sporty sort of tourer (which isn't saying much).

Hmmm where do you think they are getting their ideas from  ???

You're kidding?

The multistroodle was pig ugly. IMO, this is just a touch better looking.

im with you dock , what is ducati thinking we will make one bike and see how many models we can make out off it  [bang]

now now Bazz settle down, ducati probably got nothing else to do so they keep on making different stuff and seeing what happens.

yer prob right , but all the bloody yuppeis will start buying them and then they wont be exotic , i like ducatis old rules if it has a fridge it has a fairing ,

you know, if the fairing thing is easily removed (like the new monsters side panels) and you bang a classic round headlight on it, lower bars without the stroodle mirror/s indicators.... maybe , just maybe it'd look OK.

Of course, this is a bullshit mock up, so who really knows, and what I have heard in the rumour mill is a 4V watercooled in the multi replacement...

She aint gona look nothing like that and she's gona have a 4 valver 1098  ,Here a sneeky pic.

So Goldie, what you are saying is you would be happy with a new Monster with different exhausts and seat and a higher ride height  [roll]

... it would be the Monster Outback

I don't know about the twin headlights looking at me but it certainly is an improvement over the first Pict. the angular look of the multi had kind of grown on me.

yep pretty much  [thumbsup]

Don't get me wrong, I love my M800, but I can see a newer duc in my future at some stage, and the new monster aint it, as we found out at the frasers opening.
I can't see myself on a current stroodle with it's butt ugly looks, so maybe a monster outback is for me.

Time will tell  [thumbsup]

in case people don't venture out of here too much (and I'm looking at you Dock!)

Hmmm, I always pictured myself owning an ST when I got sick of Monsters.  Was shattered when I found out they had stopped making them. :'(  Almost went out and bought one just so I didn't miss out.
They seem to be playing around with this adventure style thing a bit in various guises (poorly in my opinion) but I just don't see people going out and buying a Ducati adventure bike.  Ducatis are fundamentally sports bikes and the different models are just different incarnations of that base.  The ST was simply a touring oriented sports bike that still went like the clappers but was also able to carry all your gear.  The perfect bike to retire on IMHO.
And while I'm splashing my opinion around, the Stradaperta is a definite improvement on the Multi but still doesn't grab me.
Yes, at least they are game to have a go.  They may have built some pig ugly bikes but when they get it right they get it sooo right. [thumbsup]

I for one did like the style of the old Multi (boy i miss my Multi) the new seems to be a little like the Hyper ,I can see past some black tape, and I want one bring it on baby  [bow_down] ;D [thumbsup] what you recon Nick maybe a bulk buy  [cheeky]

vince your doing it again (http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/7/7_15_5v.gif)
you just brought your 16 year old girl and now you want other tall girl, make up you mind [roll]

cheeky indeed! maybe, just maybe... but tell me, in those pics do you think that rider can touch the ground? an interesting bike the the vertical challenged..

I'm still a little on the fence, waiting for the final. Looks like it's more hyper biased in the looks, and that ram air thing making it look like a bird - hopefully you can do something with that.

anyway, theres mild interest, lets see what comes of it.

without the front fairing....it's a better looking Monster than....the monster!!!

(thank's vince for the re-direction!)
