Is this meant to compete for the 'busa market?

No.  More like the V-Rod/M109R/V-Max market. 

The 'busa isn't a power cruiser - it's a fully-faired sportbike.

Italians don't make cruisers.

Americans don't make sportbikes.

Brits don't make dirtbikes. 

Germans don't make bikes without heated grips

Japanese don't make . . . uh . . . er . . . uh . . . mmm  . . . uh . . . make the beast with two backs, ran out of wit. 


Well it's not just running out of wit. The Japanese make literally everything.

Check out the "typo" in the Hell For Leather URL.

Vyrus.

That would make sense here....

Vyrus uses Ducati mtors for their bikes...

Then again so does Bimota

cruisers without forward controls don't count. ;D

ok here's the thing. if they can make this bike comfortable for 2-up cruising with attachments.. i may actually like it. with the ST gone, Ducati needs a long distance tourer.

Don't forget a decently sized gas tank  :)

Wow I just don't know how I feel about this.
Might look alot better with drag bars and bar end mirrors.
Also with that rake its going to be alot slower in the corners I would think.

OK so I got rid of the bar risers and that god awful headlight assembly.
Better? maybe, I am still undecided.
probably be cleaner to change out the gauges too.

This is one of the worst-looking Photochop pics that I've ever seen.  God help us if Ducati were to build something that butt-ugly.  [puke]

That said, I still think they're going to build a cruiser.   [coffee]

Tank design reminds me of a Blast, and not in any good way.

Hasn't this already been proven to be BS?

MCN did have actual photographs of a new Ducati that appeared to be a ST/Multistrada hybrid to take on the sport touring market.
