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.

The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.  - HST
