Just see how many secondhand ones would be up for sale 6 months later tho!

Yep, you're probably right mate...

Just think, if the BHC massive all got one of those, we'd all be pulling alongside you pointing at the tanks for fuel...every 20 miles.

We'd probably need 10 to 15 fuel stops on a typical BHC rideout

Yeah,and there's not many petrol stations on the B660!

Certainly looks nice, but the Ducati badge looks sort of wrong, it's not what they "do". I also wonder if it did by any remote chance get taken off road, how long it would hold together? If I was in the market for something like that, I'd probably look at the KTM or even the BMW HP2 I sat on one of those at the NEC; despite trying not to be impressed, I was, actually). Similar concepts (twin, 100+ bhp, 170-ish kg) plus some off-road pedigree.

Still agree Ducati would sells loads of them if it ever gets into production.

They've done off road style bikes before and they are still sought after - SCR

Fair point, I'd forgotten that. But nowadays when someone says Ducati, you think WSB/BSB/MotoGP not off-road racing. KTM and to a lesser extent BMW have a track record (excuse the pun) of success in off-road events.

It does look nice though.

Just my 2p worth.
