I guess this makes the current model's electronically adjustable suspension redundant. I'll give any dealer reading this £10k for the new 1200 Touring he currently has in his showroom that he will now struggle to shift! :wink:
I wonder what the price of the Grandtourismo will be ?? £16,500 is my guess.........although the current PP is £17,250- so maybe it will be the same price as that !!
No mention of a new gearbox then, or even a functioning rear brake. I would feel my 2012 model was quite second hand if the 2013 model had those "owner inspired" features.
Looks like ill be buying a 2nd hand older model then.... Oh well, I've never used a back brake anyway Now then, is it worth buying an S model..hmmm
As well as Chainsaws suggestions other owner inspired features could include fork seals that dont blow at 3,000 miles , a ex flapper valve that dosent constantly stick , a engine that dosent cut out at random , a battery that doesent mysteriously discharge itself and some fasteners that dont corrode away ... Ha
WOW, you lot are a cynical bunch !! New price aside, I'm sure the new version will be fantastic. I've done 20,500- miles on my 2010 model (one of the first) and it's been pretty nearly faultless, even the rear brake upgrade, which I use a lot, works well enough. (leaking Ohlins fork seals are not restricted to just this bike, it's a common Ohlins failing). Sorry to those who have not been so lucky.
I like your post Rod and it gives me hope the fact that you have done some 20,000 miles on the bike ,. The few multis I have encountered on my travels have all been squeaky clean bikes that have never seen the rain and have low milages , I am really impressed with everything about my bike when riding it, but ive done 8,000 miles in about 8 months , some of it in bad weather and am beggining too think they lack any sort of durability
Ducati - New Ducati Multistrada 1200 Not convinced there's enough in the new model to force an upgrade but will still be having a test ride when available - rude not to...
Isn't that what you send your work experience kids to get....like a long weight(wait) or a skirting board ladder or maybe a hammerfour :tongue:
A can of compression ! :biggrin: I got sent for a long weight as an apprentice, so went to a movie matinee
Agree with all of those suggestions and for me a screen that doesn't bash my head around like a ping pong ball in a windtunnel
