Looks like it's all the rage, look at Bimota's latest offering at Milan, recognise anything?

I think you're right there John, first time since the 916 (I reckon) that Ducati have hit the nail on the head

Nah...the Bim's obviously shares bits like the motor and it's got a trellis frame, but apart from that it's nowhere near as sexy.

Amazing what you can do with a mix and match of Ducati parts though isn't it? The supermoto looks like it owes a lot to the Multistrada...sort of like a naked one stripped down to it's bare essentials.

Now c'mon Ducati, give us a lightweight 1000DS based sportsbike...oh...and make it look like an NCR or a supermono and you'll have another winner

It is the future, how can it not be??? I never said it stirred emotions like the 916, whatever Ducati produced it was never going to riavl a 916, anyway back to your KTM, you seem to have an eye for ugly bikes LOL!!!

Yea, but it makes me look better

As for the Bimota, agree with Jools, its just not right, looks like they've tried too hard whereas that Ducati supermoto just looks SO RIGHT, better than the KTM 950 supermoto which ain't bad itself, miles better than my Adventure.
