As above .. Apparently 4 bikes in one.

Not sure what I think of that beak yet though.

It's stealing it's look from the BMW GS1200.

There's quite a lot I like about it, but that fucking beak, what are they thinking? It's hideous. Hopefully there'll be an aftermarket part that modifies the intake so it's flush with the lights.

I was thinking something a little more precise than that, but admittedly attacking it with a hacksaw would still be a big improvement.

still trying to work out which four bikes in one it's supposed to be..

back end looks like a honda cbf600, klr650 seat and fairings maybe, wheels look like they came off a peugeot speedfight and I guess the top fairing & headlights is inspired by a Honda Pan?

Looks a little bit like the Triumph Tiger.

What's it for?

I like this design than previous one. But looks like Tiger1050.
Ducati always make the engine little by little larger, and drop the resale value of previous models. I bet 1250 will debut soon.

Quite like its modern angular looks. And if its an improvement over the old one i.e lighter then it'll out-corner alot more than a CB250.
The owner reviews i've read, seem more than happy with the Stradas handling and brakes.
But the new bike looks more plasticky..is that sump guard ally?

I think the big selling point on this is the 4 bikes in one concept.

"Utilizing four different engine modes— “Sport”, “Touring”, “Urban”, and “Enduro”— that can be changed on the fly at the touch of a button, the Multistrada is able to significantly alter its overall character via electronic adjustments to its fueling/ignition curve, ride-by-wire throttle, traction control, and with the Multistrada 1200S, even the suspension."

I can only imagine the servicing costs if this goes t*ts up.

I'd love one but I ain't spending £12,000 on any bike.

Still waiting to see one with crash bars, hard luggage and a sat nav. The ginger bloke from Eurosport says it has traction control too so expect to see some crashed ones. Its a perfect tool to get bankers to work.
