If I saw a unreleased 'new' bike on the side of the road and I had my camera with me, I'd be snapping hundreds of shots.

Title: Re: More Multistrada spyshots Post by: redial on September 03, 2009, 04:07:14 PM man the new multi is awesome!
isnt it going to be called the strada abierta? (open road) or is that a different makers duel tourer? i still have a soft spot for the nuda'd-out multi (one of my favorites calls it his monstrada, dont know if he coined that or not) heres another one of my favorites (http://www.duccutters.com/cianr-MultiRacer/re079js4.jpg) [back on topic] Title: Re: More Multistrada spyshots Post by: corey on September 03, 2009, 05:14:39 PM that thing is so sick. i get goosebumps every time i see it. that exhaust blows my mind. not to mention those frenched in turn signals up front.
Title: Re: More Multistrada spyshots Post by: LA on September 04, 2009, 08:56:26 AM I like the idea of the new strada as a comfortable do it all superbike
(http://www.duccutters.com/cianr-MultiRacer/re079js4.jpg) And the baby blue MultiStrada is one of my favorite bikes ever. I'm definitely a potential buyer of the new strada. LA Title: Re: More Multistrada spyshots Post by: junior varsity on September 05, 2009, 06:56:41 AM i would buy that 'strada pictured in a heart beat. ducati, take note. that's what i want.

I'd be hard pressed to buy that bike even if the cash fell from the sky and I rode the bike and *loved* it. Maybe I'd buy it and hack that beak off the minute I got home. Gotta see the whole thing in person to finally decide. IMO. No offense meant to any of y'all that like it. As long as you like what you've got, that's all that's important. Title: Re: More Multistrada spyshots Post by: ROBsS4R on October 09, 2009, 05:12:00 PM Does nothing for me. Even if it was the best riding bike in the world I prob would not swing a leg over it.

amazing they missed the whole ST boat on this. guess they though that everyone buys the ugly BMWs so let's make ours ugly too... then they'll buy it.

Did Chris Bangle move from designing BMW cars to Ducati? :P If they keep it up, they won't have anything purty left... :-\ Title: Re: More Multistrada spyshots Post by: Buckethead on October 10, 2009, 05:02:03 AM (http://epio.net/Stradaperta01.jpg) (http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/pic%20of%20weak/Ducati%20Stradaperta%20%202.jpg) I wouldn't go so far as to that these make it look "attractive," but they at least make the custom possibilities a little more apparent. Jeebus, that front end is hideous. Title: Re: More Multistrada spyshots Post by: Markus on October 10, 2009, 05:09:24 AM Jeebus, that front end is hideous. Agreed.

Title: Re: More Multistrada spyshots Post by: Travman on October 10, 2009, 11:50:32 AM It is embarrassing for Ducati. A few people should be fired.
Title: Re: More Multistrada spyshots Post by: Rameses on October 10, 2009, 12:05:41 PM You're all forgetting an important part of the equation here.

...but so far it isn't looking promising. The front end is actually uglier then the current Multi! Title: Re: More Multistrada spyshots Post by: m1moto on October 10, 2009, 03:45:29 PM The new Multi is at the top of my new bike list but that BEAK...
I'm sure there will be a $500 carbon fibre shorty beak in the next DP catalog Title: Re: More Multistrada spyshots Post by: Buckethead on October 10, 2009, 05:52:51 PM I'm sure there will be a $500 carbon fibre shorty beak in the next DP catalog Even if it's not there, the first person/company to offer a bolt-up alternative for decent money will end up as a mulit-bajillionaire. Maybe an engineering degree wasn't "too much work" after all. Title: Re: More Multistrada spyshots Post by: junior varsity on October 10, 2009, 07:12:17 PM i just demo'd the MTS 1100 S. Wonderful motorcycle, it was almost 'too' easy to ride. I had a great time. The look itself has grown on me. If I had some cash, I'd probably get one. I would not, even with the money, purchase the picture shown here, though.
Title: Re: More Multistrada spyshots Post by: rule62 on October 10, 2009, 10:52:10 PM It's missing 1 crucial "new" Ducati design element...
A cast aluminum sub-frame. Title: Re: More Multistrada spyshots Post by: m1moto on October 12, 2009, 08:54:55 AM Ducati please do something with that beak.
For the rest of the bike there is so much curvy plastic it's starting to like a cheap Chinese scooter. The the new super bike series is beautiful but please stop trying to morph it into other products I think they made a mistake to let Terblanche go Title: Re: More Multistrada spyshots Post by: junior varsity on October 12, 2009, 09:11:39 AM It's missing 1 crucial "new" Ducati design element... A cast aluminum sub-frame. Interestingly, its not a 'subframe' in the typical sense of the word. As I look at the 696, the 'subframe' seems to be connected behind the 'main frame' at the rear engine mount bolt. Thus, its part of the frame-frame, just in two pieces. Perhaps its still a subframe because it is a disconnect-able element of the frame, and it does not include the steering stem / headstock area, but its more than the old superbike subframes, or the 'subframe' that was the headlight brackets on various bikes as well. (An example is the Supersport "race" front subframe, which replaced the headlight bracket and was much lighter - one was just on eBay recently).

My girlfriend has a Multi 1000DS. The first few times I rode it, I loved it (primarily because it wheelies so easily). I thought that an MTS might be my future touring bike. Then I took it on a few longer rides. I don't like it. The light front end that makes wheelies so easy does not lend itself well to superslab riding. The ugly looks of the water-pumper version make my decision to not get one even easier. :-\ Title: Re: More Multistrada spyshots Post by: junior varsity on October 13, 2009, 10:45:06 AM I just rode the MTS 1100S. It really did wheelie like a sonofapregnant dog. Still think it would make a GREAT backroads tourer, but even the hypermotard beak is getting close to my "DON'T WANT" limit (but I understand that its supposed to be semi reminiscent of a dirt bike) - the "strada aperta" is zero part dirt bike, and a snorkel crocodile nose ain't helpin'

If the suspension isn't set up right, that may be helping you getting the front up. Don't write it off if you haven't ridden the bike with ok suspension settings. As for GP shift, I'm not sure any bike comes stock with that... :PI test rode a Hyper S once, the suspension was so hard it wasn't funny, riding around the city felt horrible. Obviously the suspension was the issue & could have been adjusted better for me but I can't really get an great feel for a bike with adjustable suspension if the suspension hasn't been set right.

Quote These latest exclusive pictures of Ducati’s new 2010 Multistrada show the Italian firm is going straight after sales of BMW’s R1200GS. The extreme test conducted on a motocross track was spotted by one of MCN’s spy snappers and shows the new 1098-powered Multistrada being endurance tested in Italy. The bike was getting at least six feet of air over some of the jumps :o although our pictures only got the bike coming down from the highest point. But it shows Ducati is serious to prove to the world this bike is more than just another tourer that can only handle road riding. The bike will line-up squarely against the BMW R1200GS, the Moto Morini Gran Passo and KTM’s 990 SM-T. Apart from a slight disguise, the bike appears to be almost finished, suggesting it’s ready for production. Expect the fully-finished version to be unveiled at the Milan motorcycle show in just a few weeks. Title: Re: More Multistrada spyshots Post by: junior varsity on October 14, 2009, 07:08:37 AM If the suspension isn't set up right, that may be helping you getting the front up.

As for GP shift, I'm not sure any bike comes stock with that... :P Re: Suspension - it was set to soft since I'm a larger mammal, which typically means that it would sink in the rear rather than wheelie, or so my experience with the Monster has been. (Put correct springs on and set sag, and the energy is no longer wasted in over-loading the rear suspension - i squirt forward {and sometimes upwards} a lot better faster now)I didn't look like this guy, but I can see how it would have been really easy even with stock gearing: (http://www.mcroadrunner.com.au/images/gallery/ducati_multistrada_wheelie_lg.jpg) (http://www.mcroadrunner.com.au/images/gallery/ducati_multistrada_wheelie_1_lg.jpg) Re: GP - Too bad they don't, its just so easy to use, and less parts to begin with.

Title: Re: More Multistrada spyshots Post by: EvilSteve on October 14, 2009, 10:31:42 AM Yeah, impressive stuff. One of the articles I was reading about these shots was saying that this was meant to be just a publicity stunt. Why else would a random spy photog be out in the middle of nowhere?

Nope. This is probably most of the problem. I did however have the shock preload dialed good and tight to bring up the rear a bit...still a far shot from optimal. Title: Re: More Multistrada spyshots Post by: junior varsity on October 14, 2009, 11:14:29 AM There's also the change in forks, stiff frame - great for road bikes, not sure how trellis frame will do bouncing over the whoop section, and the Single Sided Swingarm...
