Christ, what a piece of cack...makes the 999 look a real beauty!

The 999, the Multistrada, now this...have Ducati lost the plot, or just given up?

Not exactly "fresh" if it's a mish-mash of 916, 999, MV and CRR600RR is it?

I'll stick with my 749S thanks

What happened to the Milan secret unveilling then ???

IMHO

still not sure I like it, bit too "bitsa" for me
not sure it's a new design ? looks like a bit of a combo job

front nose looks way too jap and I've only just got away from all that !!
maybe it will look better in the flesh ?!

guess I'll wait for thr 'R' as I've been spoilt now !!! LOL

couldn't agree more on first impressions

Well i would have to say i like it but it doesnt appear to be a classic design, but in Ducatis shoes what could they have done?

If they went radical like with the 749/999 series they would have been criticised. if they went slighkty conservative they would be criticised.As such they have gone for the latter and prbably hoping they could steal a lot of sales from the Jap market...

It is a handsome bike i think, just nothing revolutionary.. and as with most things nowadays it will prob look better in the flesh!

Interesting
I can imagine the good words from hundreds of people now if it had some sort of GSXR side exhaust ?
what would you rather see ?
not trying to pick on you 999R but what did all those who have been saying they didn't like it want to see ?
something without wheels maybe.
I can understand people saying "Na not for me"
but its the "That's so yesterday, looks like a Kawasaki and a Triumph"
so come on in your opinions what's the best looking bike out there ?

My oh my,if that was human it would go straight to the top of the list for face reconstruction.It's so bloody ugly and can't decide if it's retro,futuristic or contemporary with end result it's a mongrel.I will never buy one,and if this is what happens when you listen to owners of 9** and 748's they should just ignore them next time.Even a Gixxer starts to look attractive when compared to this abortion.

1. From the side it's a 999
2. From the front it looks like the RR
3. From the back it looks abit **** and those cans look cheap & nasty.

But going to Milan next week so I will hold back until then....

I have a deposit down on the S (which I can get back if i don't like it)....
