If the roads are still good, we're still riding! With a new bike in the fold I'd be thinking this is bonus time for you!

And the bike's been a >sales flop as well, it seems. The only Duc I've ever actually ridden was my friend's 50cc, in 1966 I think. If it wasn't for the nostalgia I'd probably prefer a Triumph for my next bike. The Multistrada I liked was a 2007 or 8. http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/newsandupdates/122_0609_2007_ducati_multistrada_1100/photo_02.html I see there's a 1200cc version with a very different seat on it now. http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/ducati/2010-ducati-multistrada-1200-preview-88888.html The 2010 looks not pretty to me. The 150 hp would be nice, but I think the older 1000cc with something like 95hp would be just fine. Robert

As ever with Ducati, it's two steps forwards and then a smart shuffle back. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F Triumph Street Triple Suzuki TS250ER GN250 Damn, back to six bikes!
