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.
