You'll see it all on 30th September, or maybe a few days earlier when the press photos get leaked for a change
I don't know. The Sports Classic range was pretty good. In fact, if they had a second shot at it, learning from some of the mistakes of last time (like poor ergos) it might be very exciting.
Swingarm.... Ill reserve judgement on that when I see it - but I am expecting it to suck along with the rest of it.
This is personal preference before I start - the 916 shape of years ago looked nice - I like them but not enough to want one, and probably wouldn't have one as generally years ago they weren't too reliable.... for me only in the last 3 years have I started to look at ducati as a bike to own. Ive said this before but right now, theres not one ducati from their current lineup that I wouldn't own. I dont think I could say that about any other manufacturer. Im hoping that, that pic is photoshopped and it looks better than that but im not holding out for it....
You might like the current range now but the comments on the forthcoming scrambler are not so different from those about the Multistradas, air and liquid cooled, the Diavel , the 749/999 range and almost every new range they launch. The way they have broadened the range the last few years is impressive and I say that as someone who would struggle to find a current Ducati that fits my criteria enough for me to buy one.Personal preferences as you say.....
I would say though that the original multistrada looked awful the new one - a lot better, wouldn't be my first choice of ducati but if someone said I had to drive one then I wouldn't mind one bit....ive been behind one recently and they do look good from behind.
More video here - shot very recently from what It looks like... Video: Ducati Scrambler spied testing by MCN reader - Motorbike reviews | Latest Bike Videos | MCN Still looks shit. Looks like a half arsed supermoto wannabe....Ducati - leave supermoto to KTM.....they wrote the book on it...and before anyone chimes in with CCM - they look pretty crap as well...albeit better than the above effort..
