Doesn't anybody think it looks a lot like the 1125CR from the side?

Was Erik Buell already working on this knowing that Buell was going away?

Not even close to a Buell.....Vee Two should be pissed since the new Multi's front is a copy of their Super Squalo super charged 200hp 999.

now that we can see it better its definitely trying for the bmw gs riders that never go off road or people that like the styling of it.  the beak thing as long as you get rid of that its a lot better.

still looks like a suzuki if you ask me basically if you put the suzuki front end on the thing for the faring it gets the look at we are wanting with the "no beak" look.

i see what they are going for and honestly if they stop making all the bikes so high then i think it will appeal to more people. heck even bmw finally learned that and made a 1200 gs with a seat height of 31 inches instead of like the 34 they had before.

No beak




I am wondering, how does the suspension travel change?

You guys are all worse than the Ducati Haters on BARF when discussing the new Multistrada 1200. 

I like the bike and am seriously considering buying one.  I like a bike that works well no matter where I want to go.  And with 150 HP I won't feel slow when riding with friends on their BMW 1200s and FJRs.

[GLantern]

I don't mind the beak really.

[Raux]

guess for me, knowing that Ducati has made some really beautiful bikes. the less than bikes... are kinda disappointing. not because they are worse than say a BMW.. but because they could be so much more if Ducati would let the italian beauty shine through.
