pretty.....ugly. I'm not sure which one. Don't really matter though. I can't afford it anyway.

These things are retarded. No thanks.
I always thought the multistrada was one of the ugliest bikes on earth and they have continued the tradition. I have no idea why anybody likes the look of it.
Just because it's a Ducati doesn't mean you have to like it.

You suck at life. Why don't you quit?
My dad told me I could be anything I wanted when I grew up. So I became an Asshole.
I love it....cant wait to ride one!

Never thought I'd say this but I like the OG Diapermotard better.... wow. Fail on the redesign.

Hmm... no.
What's with that weird insect proboscis-nostril thing going on? Fugly. And a great way to scoop crap into your airbox.
And a 17" cast front wheel and 180 rear tire? Useless.
Also, that gas tank looks tiny. With the 1200 engine in it, I bet that thing has a range of under 150 miles.
Yet another "adventure" bike intended solely for the road. The ongoing rumor has been that Ducati was developing a competitor for the BMW GS. Bullshit. I could see this bike competing with the R1200RT, but certainly not the GS.
This thing is the Honda Element of motorcycles. It sorta kinda looks the part, but don't even bother taking it any further offroad than a gravel parking lot.

I've never liked the upper, they just made it more space-age.
ANd what's with that weird fender-like thing in the back? BMW copy?

I'd really been hoping the styling would be less...awful
I know my GS is not exactly full of flowing lines, but for some reason the new multi looks, argh.
I'll try it out though
Lets face it, bikes are not a rational decision when it comes to like/dislike!
Actually, hm, in all black it works a lot better.
Hurm.
I was hoping for more of a scrambler. That is awful. Who designed it?

Well...it pleases me. But then, I love my current Multi. 150bhp in a long distance Duc with hard bags looks good to me. I do worry about the range though...

I think it looks pretty badass... Not great, but better looking than the original.
Where'd ya see 17" front wheel?Originally Posted by markbvt
And I HOPE competing with the GS wasn't Ducati's aim cuz I dunno if I can see that stacking up to the BMW either.

I'm sorry to say but those bikes may run fine and preform great, but they look like skinny crap. I'm just not impressed.
I love it...
Well, notice how it's the same size as the rear wheel...
Also, it wouldn't make any sense at all to spec a 180 rear tire with a 110/80-19 front. And that rear is obviously much wider than the 150 usually spec'd with the 19" front.
