    First spy shot of Ducati's new enduro?

    As the commenter said, making a 1098 powered enduro seems like massive overkill. With that being said, it does look awesome though.

    I think it will have a lot of peoples names on it if they make it look good.

    Looks is the one area that the current Multi fails at. It can grow on you, but man it's tough to look at for the first time.

    Re: First spy shot of Ducati's new enduro?

    So it's like a Triumph Tiger with similar horsepower, less reliability, more cost to buy, more cost to maintain and less aftermarket support?

    SWEET!

    Re: First spy shot of Ducati's new enduro?

    I had a Multistrada for 3 years, best bike I owned - including every dirt bike I had. The thing was an XR600 on steroids, just did everything right.
    It was a little lanky and soft for track days, but for all around riding in New England it can't be beat.

    That being said, I agree the 1098 motor might be overkill.

    When did the Tiger sport 140hp?

    Edit: And since when were Tiger's reliable?

    Re: First spy shot of Ducati's new enduro?

    The press has been talking about how Ducati wants to build a true R1200GS competitor, but from what little I can see in that photo, this bike is far from it. Looks to me like another very street-focused bike, more giant supermoto than giant enduro. That's hardly a competitor to the R1200GS.
