New Ducati allroad!

Here are the pictures, 1200cc Stradaperta (no idea what that means).







Certainly a lot prettier than Guzzi's Stelvio...

Come on, who's getting one so we can all have a proper look?

Yes, but it's still a Ducati.

Re: New Ducati allroad!

Look's great

BUT, . . . 'ALL ROAD' would be its limit i think, small front wheel, little ground clearance, engine look's vulnerable to damage on anything other than a gravel driveway.

I suppose its target market is Triumph Tiger and the like. i.e. Big comfy Supermoto, good for hooning round the lanes or touring.

Sounds about right

I agree it looks a lot like a Tiger. Could be competition for that part of the market that wants the comfort and "go anywhere look" without actually going anywhere (like a lot of the GS owners, all GS owners on this forum happily excepted of course).

Re: New Ducati allroad!



It seems the Stradaperta already been in England:



By the way, Stradaperta comes from the expression Strada Aperta wich means OPEN ROAD

All these Aluminium travelling side boxes that you can se hanging on every "Adventure" bikes tail, well, the Italians have come up to the ultimate stylist solution.
