Ok . . . Panigale style rear lamps . . . wider body . . . "frame less" design

How are they possibly running it that lean?! Huh?

That's a lot of blue on the exhaust... pistons and valves must be made of unobtainium.

I think it looks pretty good.

Coincidentally, I have a 2014 Multistrada demo in my garage right now. I dropped my bike off to have the dealer check a couple things and they let me borrow their demo bike until tomorrow.

I swear, every time I ride this bike I love it more and more. So comfortable, so powerful, so easy to ride, so nimble. It just does everything well. I could ride this bike for hours.

Even uglier than before, if that was possible.

Nice bike though.

I take it you normally ride for minutes? (I doubt it. Grin

) The Multi is ugly, but there's no substitute for easing up on a bike's looks by riding one. My wife had the Multi 1000DS and I've wanted one ever since -- no matter how ugly it is.

No kidding. It really is a great bike no matter what it looks like.

Really looking forward to riding this in to work today. I rode this home from the dealer in the dark last night on the 15 freeway in San Diego. You sit so high up on this bike with a commanding view of the road, the light is so much brighter than my Monster too and it just turns so easily. It is very nimble for a bike this size and it feels very light when you ride it once you are under way. And the riding position is so comfortable, my bike is a freaking torture rack in comparison.

Never has my 35 mile commute been looked forward to so much. Dolph

BTW-I have to give a big thank you to Balz at Moto Forza for being so generous with the demo bikes. I'll definitely buy my next Ducati from him and it may just be a Multistrada.

I spent a week on a Multi and seriously considered trading in my Monster for one earlier this year. Luckily to much money in mods made it a bad deal. Why luckily?

I think Ducati is gonna get it's Multi-ass handed to it by the new BMW. Hell, they even look similar. Then there is the Aprilia Colnago looks to be a better bike for several thousand less....

You mean Aprilia Caponord?

I've done an extended test ride on both the Caponord and the MTS. IMO, the Capo was the better bike. They're both very good though, and if power is what you want the MTS wins. If a more balanced package is what you want then the Capo wins.

Man, I'd love to spend a week on one. It would be the perfect bike for long distance riding.

I don't know, this looks like a copy of the Multistrada to me and the new Multi seems a little more feature rich than this BMW. That inline 4 will probably feel a lot wider between your legs than the Multistrada too and probably almost as pricey.

I'm kind of intrigued by the Yamaha FJ-09. They both look very similar to the Multistrada.

It looks huge in person. I'm afraid if I test ride it I'll want one, and it IS kind of ugly.
