Multistrada Replacement

[webspoke]

Interesting that the swingarm/shock configuration look m696/m1100, yet the bike is water cooled.    Also check out some of the shots that show the side of the frame, again a big cast section, like the m696/m1100.

either that rider is a totally tiny dude or that bike is HUGE

+++1, HaHaHa,  I was thinking the same thing!

Your pictures are better.

I think 5'0 might be an over-estimate of the riders height.

Can somebody post the picture in the below link please.

According to trustworthy sources, Ducati has started road-testing the new all-rounder, codenamed as Hyperstrada. Look out BMW!

Guys there's no doubt that this is a four valve 1098 platform.

What you are missing is that this bike is NOT a Multistrada!

Read the article, it clearly states that the new bike is not meant to replace the multi and is not intended as a GS type adventure bike.

It's likely a new platform that would satisfy the needs of both Multi and ST riders (minus the offroad ability) but I wouldn't count on it being a Miltistrad replacement

well, i hope you're right. it doesn't do it for me
but i also hope they do a better job when they do replace the multi...

I hope this isn't the Multi replacement. Has anyone else noticed that every year the tail-end gets higher! How hard is it to design a bike that you can ride without having wrist pain and your balls smashed against the tank, or your passenger sliding into you at every stop. That's one of the great things about the Multi, it's comfortable to ride! The ST was great for touring , if you were 20 years old. Either make a touring bike or not. The bike in the pic might as well be Streetfighter II. That sloped down pillion seat isn't going to work for anyone.
