"The 1,205cc field admittedly wasn't terribly competitive-- a Buell XBSTT finished second a full 49 seconds later, another Multistrada piloted by Alexander Smith scored third, and a Buell S1 Lightning came in fourth-- but given the "Race on Sunday, sell on Monday" ethos, this 1-3 podium finish can't be a bad thing thing for Ducati."

Yeah, finishing 1st and 3rd is not really that big of achievement when there is four bikes in the field...

I could of at least got a top 5 on my GS. LOL

Well they, meaning Ducati, talked it up. Personally I find the do it all concept neat but the bike expensive and ugly. I would much rather have say a monster 796 and an 848 to hit the majority of my riding on the head.

I think someone wired me funny, because I want that bike like a fat kid wants cake. Must be genetic, because my grandfather got one of the last few Ducatis to be imported to Brazil back in the day (1963-ish).

Me too and the fact that from the front, it looks like a cartoon dragon just makes me giggle when I see it.

I want this sucker in a bad way.



I am with you . I have been lusting for that bike since the first article I read about it. I am going to have one if I have to bum borrow and steal. It is why I put the Harley up for sale.

I can't get enough of this bike. I love it. It looks weird, it's expensive, and I want it.
