Man those are some wide ass bars for a Ducati.  Crazy They prolly needed to get some wider drafting paper in to the design crew for those babies.

I noticed the wide beachcomber-style handlebars are the current rage among Italian Harlistas.

I reckon Ducati is probably aiming this bike at them.

Does Ducati have one at the IMS shows?

I asked the salesman at my local dealership last week when they were getting one in... He asked if I was just trying to piss him off?! I guess he's not much of a fan either.  Lol

I'm betting that this thing takes off and sells well. There are a lot of older, inseam challanged guys with $ who have always wanted a Ducati, but didn't want a high maintenance bike, or couldn't stand the committed riding possition of the sport bikes, or didn't have enough inseam to ride the Multistrada.

Yes it has been following the IMS.   Both a black carbon and a red standard are on tour.  We should start seeing them late Feb, early March.  Maybe we're a bit different but we're excited for them to arrive!

Well The fokls at Motor cyclist said Ducati have done their homework and made a wide tire handle like a sport bike. ( That's what they said)
I like the Streetfighter but I don't want any DUCATI with a plastic tank. They haven't ever fixed the "spread" problem.

While the looks aren't great, I think it's much better than a VMAX Crazy or a B-King. Although some of the B-Kings with different exhaust aren't "too" bad. All that said the top speed isn't "limited" like a MAX! As it will still handle at speed!!

I wish they hadn't gone that far with the rear tire! But I still like the bike!!

And it doesn't have a "DUCK BILL" sticking out front!! Inlove Rolleyes

Of course if Ducati makes a Streetfighter with a metal gas tank, it would make the choice much easier!

Heres the first official rider review I have seen pop up.  Seems like they absolutely loved it. Heres the end quote:

"The question of exactly what it is – performance cruiser, Monster on steroids, street drag bike or whatever – ends up as irrelevant, overshadowed by something much more simple to understand: this is the most exciting and rewarding motorcycle you can buy".

The MCN (UK) tester was impressed too, and he has 20 years of road testing under his belt.
I must get a ride on one of these, I think I'm getting converted! Bigok

Ditto on getting converted.  Initial ride reports are promising.  Steel skinned tank, the rear LED lights, the aluminum mirrors... first class stuff.  Of course the model I want is the most expensive... the red Carbon.  

FJR is for sale, and I'm setting aside money.  I might still end up with a 2011 Speed Triple, or a 2011 K1300S, but the Diavel is in serious contention.  I will be calling my local dealer next week to see when they expect to add one to their stable of demo bikes.

I can't wait to test this thing.  I fell in love with the Multistrada 1200S.

That long wheelbase and big honkin' rear tire still makes me wonder about handling, though.
