Oh em geeeeee.

Ducati's answer to BMW's R1200GS.

It looks hella tasty.

NOM.

Yeah, who'd buy a GS  :undecided:

The only thing I don't like about the new Ducati is that it isn't shaft driven. Missed a trick there I reckon.

on the plus side..... you wouldn't want to be touring and be completely dependent on the reliability of a Ducati!

If I could reach the floor on either bike I'd go for the bimmer Chojin

I'm not convinced that bodywork would stand up to a topple on uneven ground. Looks like sportsbike-style plastic.

Spot on Ray. Pointless exercise.

No point in having a mega money off roader.

I suppose it is to off-roading what a HSE Discovery, or Range Rover is.  Probably very capable in the right hands but a high risk proposition for a typical doofus....

I dunno, quite enjoying my Tiger 800.

Good for the commute, which is its legitimate purpose, but has also managed some fun stuff at the weekends that I'd never have attempted on a 'normal' bike.

Lanes are too wet now though, unless I change the tyres, which I can't do because it'd screw it up for the motorway commute.

Yes, ideally I'd like a KTM 250EXC or something as well, but can't get away with three bikes (and can't sell the Panigale, obvs)!
