Oh em geeeeee.

Ducati's answer to BMW's R1200GS.

It looks hella tasty.

NOM.

Yeah. Wouldn't want to be a GS owner right now...

Chojin · November 16, 2015, 10:02:25 PM

Yeah, who'd buy a GS

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

Looks interesting that's for sure

I saw one someone had converted years ago and thought someone should make it.......

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....

It's styling...good for rough Car Parks.

I did stumble across this on FB this morning. Made me chuckle.

Buy an enduro bike ffs!!!!!

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)!
