New Multistada, and it actually looks pretty good!!

Ducati Introduces Three Versions of New Multistrada 1200 in Milan

I like the new look.
(although I still maintain the old one is cool, in an ugly way)

[Jamathi]

Nickname will be Platapuzz for sure!
Buttugly, sorry looks like a R1 yammy

[mcmurray]

I like it.

Here's the official site: http://www.multistrada.ducati.com

Kind of reminds me of a Tiger Mixed with a V-Strom... Only uglier. I'm curious as to how the Australian version would look. Surely that bizarre hugger isn't going to be used here, so perhaps a large shovel.

I like the old one better on looks if only because of the more retro look.

[Commander Keen]

Water cooled multistrada?

Sounds expensive.

[BERT]

Some BMW's had the same type of hugger thing to pass ADR's

the front reminds me of Ninja's avatar:

[monsta]

I dont mind the look of it, much better than the multistrada!

[R160]

Benelli tre-k does it much better, also the moto morini trailie

[Ferris]

Yeah, still pug-fugly.

[Xuaxace]

yeah... nah.

Bit suprised they put a 1198 engine down there instead of their usual underpowerd air cooled ones. A step foward.

[Ferris]

Yeah, every kick in the arse is a step forward too...

[thro]

Love the fender.

Rip that shit off the main bike and leave that pre-fitted "fuck you piggy" 5 inch 45 degree bit on the rear

[Rocket]

So the first Model looked like Terence and Phillip and this one looks like a platypus.
Well done Ducati.

[potato]

oh look! side panels off a cbr 600

[drifter]

wow. still ugly. why is it they can make pretty sportsbikes but not pretty tourers?

[Bluebagger]

I like everything about this bike except the front air intakes and the fact that it only has a 20 ltr fuel tank. The front end is bloody terrible. I am not sure if I rate it as fugly as the old one.

Big ticks for the 150hp engine, ABS, DTC, DES, 3 map motor, centre stand, panniers, heated hand grips, adjustable screen and Ohlins adjustable suspension.

Biggest question left is, how much?

..... and will they fix the front end?

[Spock]

Any bike intended for off road use should be light and compact - this monstrosity is neither.
