I prefer the looks of the new bike too, but I just wonder whether such a bike really needs 150bhp. And look at the price...

Sir might want to try a good seat on the K11 to find out why all the BMWs I own tend to acquire a modified/better seat within quite a short timeframe. The Corbin I've got for the 1150 is so much better than the OEM comfort seat it's unreal. -- Morini Corsaro 125 | XL250 Motosport | R1150RT | 3 1/2 Sport Laverda SF2 BOTAFOF #33 TWA#10 The UKRM FAQ: http://www.ukrm.net/faq/index.html "Je profite du paysage" - Joe Bar

I'm not a fan of so much air space at the rear of the 2010, which shaped my first reaction to it. The bottom link has a photo of a white one with black bags, which fill that void. A red one with black bags (though black shows dirt REALLY bad)would be nice. I like the 2007's pipes under the seat but like the front end of the 2010. I've always wondered just how warm the seat would get in stop and go traffic. I wonder about fumes being too near a the riders too. These links have more photos of both bikes. http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2007models/2007models-Ducati-Multistrada1100.htm http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/2010-ducati-multistrada-1200-leaked-photos/ Robert

I'm a leather pants kind of guy, but I think I do sit different due to the heel shifter. My left foot ends up sitting a little more forward than my right. Robert |
