Ducati Multistrada - Why so damn ugly?

[JJ Moto Addict]

Why is the latest Ducati Multistrada so freaking ugly?

The bike rocks, but the beak is like the Wicked Witch of the North.

How did they go from the smooth round lines to that?

Sure the Duc can stomp on my Super T, but do I want the maintenance costs? Hell no!

I love you Super T. :-*

My riding bud has one and yes it will leave the Ten behind, at least on the pavement. I guess it's an aquired taste although I like the looks of it. I like it but like the Ten better for my purposes and the price was much better also.

oil and filter every 7500 miles replace timing belt and check the valves every 15000 not exactly going to hurt the wallet is it!

I think they look great. I've ridden one and they are fantastic motorcycles. It just didn't fit me very well. But man, that motor. Wow, just wow.

one of my riding buddies has one and i like it almost thought about getting one myself but my dealership doesn't sell ducatis and the people frown upon me riding anything we dont sell lol

I think they look great! But, just being real, the S10 is plenty quick for me. Having that much speed on tap would just get me into trouble. ::019::

I have the absolute reverse point of view. To me, the Strada was butt ugly before this generation and now it looks great!

The Pikes Peak Version is smoking....but....that damn beak!!!

If the Multistrada were a character on Sesame Street, it would be the only yellow one.

Besides, I can think of a LOT of more exciting places to ride ANY bike than Pikes Peak.

Trust me on that!!!
