Looks a bit "chunky" to me, but the I would say that as I've now opted for a brand new 2014 PP.....:Muted: Any particular reason why there are so many photos of the techie stuff and not that many real-life shots of the thing we all really like looking at and cleaning in some cases, especially if the bike is RED (Duc-Bird) ..... the bike!!
I got to see one on person recently at a Ducati Road show at the local dealer. Actually got to sit on it , but did not get to hear the motor or see the display light up. The seat adjusts from low to high via a system similar to the BMW GS I like the bike after seeing it in person and Im looking forward to getting a proper demo in the spring... Feels a bit more stout than the earlier models, the bodywork seems to have more wind protection and the bike seems a little bigger overall.
Think the front end and panniers look brilliant. Let some of you guys beta test the Dvt for a few miles before I think of upgrading though ;-)
This pic was taken with the seat on the low position, there was a "shorty" in our midst and he could straddle the bike without issue in this position. Stated he could only "one foot" the 2010 bike...
Hope they've sorted the gearbox and I see we're still getting side opening panniers, I was hoping to get top loading panniers, all in all tho I'm loving it,oooh I feel my bank balance is in jeapordy again, twitch twitch
How did I miss seeing the 5 ton gorilla with the 6m breaker bar who tightens up the rear wheel nuts....?
I looked for the exactly the same thing - didn't see it. I found it interesting seeing the new rear subframes and the front fairings being assembled. I also thought the cat/silencer box looked very large - difficult to compare it with the current one as you don't normally see it so exposed (before the swinging arm was put on.
nice pics and video clip. Very impressed with the way it goes together, but it does emphasise everything hangs off the engine. Looking forward to having a good play with one now.
Must admit it does look good! The front end looks like something out of a Transformers movie!! Decepticon or Autobot?!
