No they did not start the V4. The crowd booed when we found out. V4 S is about $27k orange-backs. V4 Speciale about $40k trump-bucks. First impressions: they all look amazing and are more comfortable to sit on than expected, 1100 scrambler is noticably larger than it’s smaller siblings, but doesn’t feel very heavy and apparently makes gobs of torque way down low, 959 Corse looks absolutely incredible and is only $17k which is a lot less than I expected. There was free food, which was delicious. As usual, motocorsa kicks ass.

Thanks....now may afternoon is going to consist of CL and Ebay searches!
Not a bad start, however:
1980 Hailwood edition

That Scrambler!!
Ok, I know the other bike i need to test at demo day. Loved the Desert Sled at the last one, was a fun hooligan bike, but needed more torque.

Arun took the grey one out and said it was way better than the 800. Apparently he almost crashed it!

Was just looking up specs, same weight as the 800 too! Bet that thing is a blast.

Is it really!? I could’ve sworn it was like 20-30 lbs heavier

It’s within 10 lbs of the Desert Sled on the scrambler website. Still a little heavy at 460 wet, but apparently the DS is around 450 and did not suffer for it in my experience.

They don’t carry the weight very high. And you could probably shed a bunch with a few mods.

Cat delete and LiFe battery certainly wouldn’t hurt :p

Ah, thank you. Should have those photos up soon, nice to know Ducati knows how to provide a spread regardless of the city

Considering they’re a”lifestyle” brand as much as a bike maker, I should hope so!

I’m in such lust for a desert sled... They’re just too sick.
