Serious contender in the 'classic' adventure mould, or boutique wannabe?

My 22 cents (2 cents + inflation):

If nothing else it weighs significantly less than our dear old Triumph Scrambler.
However if one were to try to get seriously off-roady on it the up turned exhaust might be a collector for all kinds of stuff........ :icon_wink:

They might as well have called it the Ducati Starbucks. I suspect it's aimed at the BMW R9T market segment.
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

:ImaPoser yeah, that's about right!

Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

Now now, be kind! We cannot blame Ducati for trying to squeeze the last drop out of a parts-bin special.
