Previous bike was an R850R, I'll never know why I bought it. The Multi is a different ball game. If you haven't already taken a test ride then do because it'll blow you away.

I agree, put the 999 lump in the Multi & a lot of riders would never consider owning another bike. I don't think Ducati would have to concern themselves too much about competitive pricing, I'd sell my wife for one. Wonder what the outstanding balance would be?

Thats what I like about the biking scene. It takes you back to a time when the term "political correctness" hadn't even been invented. Bikes & babes, generators & babes, babes & babes, great give me more!

Hi Matrid & a happy new year.

I think you'll find that this article has been posted on multistrada.net some time ago. But there is no harm in reminding us how great the girls/bikes look in the photos! You've made an excellent choice & given youself a superb Chritmas present. Safe riding.

"Wolf in sheeps clothing".............well maybe, but the fact that it has a Ducati badge on it will tell you that its no ordinary bike. First time I rode one it gave me the surprise of my life. As I arrived back into the dealers carpark I had my credit card out before the sidestand was down ...
