Wanna buy » Weird Newbye...

[marcello79]

Hi all,
at first I introduce myself.
My name's Marcello, am italian, and I live in Bologna. In fact my house is in Borgo Panigale, a place I think you know pretty well...
So, even if the Ducati factory's front doors are not more than 500 meters from my house, and I'm a biker 'till I was 6 years old, I never owned a Ducati.
Now, a friend of mine, got a Multistrada 1000, I tryed it and I definitively liked it!
Yesterday I went to the Ducaty Factory retalil store here in Borgo Panigale to get more info on the 620, that is the model I'd like to get.
So, I'm here to ask you all Multistrada's enthusiasts an advice and your opinions (the good, the bad, etc.) about the MTS 620.
Thanks to all.
Marcello

first of all: we all envy you for living so near to the factory!

Ducaty Factory retail store

is there a store where they sell bikes? a shame it isn't a factory Outlet....

read these forums and you will know the GOOD and the bad but nothing about the ugly...

try it, buy it, love it!

>is there a store where they sell bikes? a shame it isn't a factory Outlet....

In fact it's something little strange. They build a big store just in front of the factory, they sell almost everything about Ducati, from clothes to Performance Accessories. There's also a workshop where workers from the factory put thier hand on your bike. But, at this time, they can sell only used bikes and new ones to employees. This because there is another official store (but not owned by Ducati) in town which has the exclusive rights 'till the end of '06.

>try it, buy it, love it!
I tryed, I loved it. Now I just have to buy it!

Hello Marcello
I bought a new 620 two weeks ago and I am in love with it!
The bike is so easy to ride in or out of town and it loves the twisties. I am only still running in the engine so limited to 5,500-6000 rpm but its still plenty of fun. Can't wait to get it fully loosened up. Go on do yourself a favour, buy a 620!

You must be kidding right ?

That's either the biggest lie I've ever heard, or.... there's no "or" I can think of actualy...

P.S: I'm joking Marcello , I wish my huse was that close too

[marcello79]

To all: Thank you guys for the welcome!

To Doctor_john: The weather here isn't too baaad!
I owned 3 bike (excluding the moped of my 14's...)
a Gilera RC 125, a Honda Transalp 600 and the last one, a Yamaha Fazer 600 that I sold last summer. Next will be definitively a Multistrada 620!

To Doc: I'm afraid I'm not kidding... Would you like an evidence? Perhaps a photo of me, standing in front of the factory with the daily local newspaper?

[marcello79]

Oh, I forgot the Malaguti Grizzly, an offroad minibike, of my childhood...

[clockwork orange 2005 620 (Orange)]

Welcome. Enjoy the bike - mines a tangerine one, and its great.

Never mind a chick magnet - you should see the surprised looks I get from the crowd of blokes around mine when I come and get on it....

oh, ok i believe you... but some snicky photos from the mechanics working on multis while they talking on their cellphone... will always be acceptable!
