Sweet, thanks for the news, Sully. Though the bike looks like it has an identity crisis, the thing's weird appearance and intrigue rather appeals to me. Plus, from what I've heard, the actual ride is supposed to be awesome, so I'll definitely be paying a visit!!

I would like to see it in person. Not a huge fan of the pics, but you never know till you sit on it and can see it for real.

Agreed... the more I've read about it, the bike's getting some great reviews.

Plus, if Honda has taught us one thing, web pics can be deceiving! The R/W/B anniversary VFR was hideous on the web but in person, it's a beautiful bike. IMO, the new VFR is the same way. I really dig that bike in person but have never seen a good pic of it online.

If nothing more than morbid curiosity, I can't wait to see one in person. It's either going to be a slick bit of kit, or the newest B-King to rot away on the showroom floor

Ducati needs to fire the ad agency working on this. Their tag line is "Hard to be seen, easy to be noticed"
First this make no sense, second what motorcyclist wants "hard to be seen" as part of their riding day? Don't we have enough of that already?

Looks like Erico had a real cool looking "coming out" event for it.

sorry sully i must have seen it before they were gonna show it, i was at fay meyers a few days ago during lunch and they just rolled it out, all the sales reps were taking turns sitting on it, its got a smaller profile then i saw in pics and a sweet line of white leds in the headlight as a running light. i like it but to much bank for this guy..

I'd say its about the size of a Monster, maybe slightly larger.

Sat on it yesterday at Erico and the guy also started it up. My biggest surprise was how LIGHT it felt. The wheelbase was also more compact than I expected, and though I still think it's ugly, it's ugly in an endearing way (looks like something :batman: would ride).

Aside from being able to fit on it, the best part was it still sounded like a Ducati.

We swung by Erico Saturday as well... I did the same and feel the same. I'm sure it will appeal to some people, but not me. I'm sure it goes like a bat out of hell, but I don't think I'll be trading in my Multi any time soon.

The one thing that I couldn't get over was how much tank you have to reach over to grab the handle bars. It reminded me too much of the Honda DN-01... and that's NOT a good thing.
