Re: new Ducati?
I like it, kind of like a Vstrom or a Tiger, but not as wacky looking as the MTS.

Re: new Ducati?
Yeah, it looks like everyone else's dual-sport now I guess. The Multistrada seemed to have worked really well dynamically but the styling was always just a bit too... polarizing, so maybe this re-style will help move more bikes. Meh.
Still waiting on the ST replacement... That's got to be around the corner; why update the Multistrada and ignore the ST? Can't let BMW have all the touring fun now can we? >

Re: new Ducati?
I thought I heard that the ST line was history. I definitely could have that wrong.

Re: new Ducati?
No more STs in the current line up. Maybe something new down the road for the STs.

You and me both Lisa. But they seem to have decided that the ST does not fit their profile (sporty toys). I consider mine a keeper and worry that I won't be able to maintain her long term.

Re: new Ducati?
Say it ain't so! This seriously bums me out. I was thinking they were just waiting to put the finishing touches on a replacement... So pardon me while I rant:
EVERY other serious motorcycle manufacturer has an upper-end ST machine; BMW, Harley Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Moto Guzzi, Triumph... even Aprilla for cryin' out loud!
WTH 
A new Monster, the Hypermotard and a new superbike do not replace the gap created in the line by dropping the ST. And as competent as the Multistrudel is/was, it still is... um... athestically challenged. A "polarizing design" would be the understatement of the decade (and this from a proud Terblanche-penned SBK!).
It's good you've got a really nice ST4, Charles - they're gonna be rare as hens teeth.
