Sounds interesting.  Hopefully Ducati isn't getting spread to thin with the number of models and tangents (e-bikes and e-motorcycles).

I saw that. Doing the same as Triumph I guess, broadening their market base.

I think it's a great idea.

I think they should consider an even smaller displacement. Just wish the engine looked more...Ducish?

I agree. A smart move.
A lot of kids here start on dirt bikes then graduate to road bikes. They pass that pattern on to their kids, so the trails and forest riding scene are a major conduit to the road bike market here. I guess the pattern is similar in countries like the US and Canada with space for forest/trail/desert riding.

If you get one, I'll be eager to hear of your impressions for sure.

As a current owner and abuser of a KTM 690 Enduro...

I hope Ducati drops a knobby version.

I never had regular maintenance on my S2r1K result in needing to install helicoils… but, owning the KTM, I have full set of metric helicoils because of minor problems and changes.  

I'll fight the desmo valves if it means I don't have repair threads just for taking off the clutch slave.
