Several Ducati bike versions launched today

Does anyone out there know if a Hyperstrada will at the moto show this weekend?
 
Hyperstrada.. faster..meaner ..of just two words?
 
My partner and I each test rode the Diavel Strada yesterday and I loved it. So did he...he bought it!

Take the back rest and saddle bags off and the bike is very nice looking.

It had great handling and curbing ability and lots of power. I think he will really enjoy getting to know his new bike.

I liked the way it purred and the comfort was great. Sitting position is perfect. No crouching over to reach the throttles.

It has 3 riding modes and is packed with 162 hp

I think they killed that over a year ago. At first I was like WTF.. but then, I thought about it and an 848 SF makes perfect sense.

I think the 848 was so good that the big bore bike was not as desirable anymore so they dropped it.
 
wow audi $$$$$$$$$$$$ runs deep

in a down economy we are in, they are introducing more and more high ends of their products,

guess the rich are still rich, and the middle class still suffers

Without the seat back and saddle bags it is a very nice looking bike. Is it really that painful to look at?

I know there are always haters out there ;)

I think it is a beautiful bike. :ride

Sorry to offend.

If it's any consolation, my DRZSM is uglier! :laughing

Oh you did not offend me. I just wonder how anyone could see it as an ugly bike.

I am sure if you had one the looks would grow on you :D

That was the last thing on my mind as I test rode it. I was not even thinking about the color of it either ;)
 
I like it. Euro cruiser bling.

:rofl It does not ride like a cruiser at all.

I know there are much sportier looking Ducati's but both of us like our feet on the ground and don't like crouching for the throttles. My FZ6R has me leaning over a bit but not like some bikes. I would love to have a Ducati but the ones I like have over 31 inch seat height. I know you can have bikes lowered but I just don't like the thought of it. I will keep with my White Stallion for now. Maybe some day Ducati will design a nice looking sport touring bike with no more than a 30.9 seat.

Hyperstrada link is broken, did they give it adjustable front suspension yet? That bike, and the entire company for that matter, is a joke until they fix that in my opinion.

edit:found it on the site. Doesn't look like they added adjustability to the forks yet. What a bunch of losers, seriously, who the heck wants to pay $14,000 for a bike that doesn't even have adjustable preload?! Even the awful suspension on my DL650 has adjustable preload. What a joke.
