You've ridden it? Or just doubting the "all things to all people" concept? Or just the hybrid styling?

Hey, at least the bushes can't hurt your bare fingers.

It seems to have a resemblance to the BMW R1200GS.

Needs a nose job.

I'd also expect low resale value. After the warrantee goes, all those electronic assists are gonna be hella expensive to have replaced.

Without that weird front sticky outy bit it'd probably be ok. Looks like two great big nostrils. Looks comfy, probably hauls **** and handles great. BUT...another example of nobody telling the guy drawing the thing that it looks like ****. Don't these guys float their ideas around first , or are they too worried about their ideas being stolen..fat chance in this case.

Hahahah, yeah, sure it'll have a low resale value, because Ducati buyers are all budget conscious and stuff.
