Well, there I was contemplating changing my 15 plate Pikes Peak in early 2018, for a similar DVT model, when there was my next Multistrada iteration, staring and grinning back at me in MCN. It would seem that Ducati are launching their newest Mutli towards the end of 2018, early 2019, with a 1262cc, Diavel type motor, producing circa 165bhp, in a bike weighing 200kg 'dry' potentially.... So it looks like I'm going to wait a while and add a few more miles to the current red-one I wonder what other modification-goodies the newer bike might be released with?
Good idea Tony. It will also give you a few more months to save up for the concomitant increase in price!
I get what ya saying, but put a pipe and remap on your existing bike, will up the power to approx the same, and the weight saving from said pipe wont be far off the 10kg saved on the new bike. Food for thought ?? And many £££s for the wallet ??
A light weight 160 plus bhp Harley that handles, stops and goes like a sports bike, with Italian flare and styling, but fitted with a clean quiet and efficient belt..... Again, what's not to like ??
There's a thread somewhere by xdiavel owners seeking to do this: can't remember if merely prohibitively expensive or no one does the parts.
Don't fancy a belt on an adventure bike if its going anywhere near loose stuff. One stone between belt and pulley can be very expensive.
