Marina is thinking...
I'm back from the Ducati media ride thru some of the most epic roads in Cali! Can you guess my favourite bike in the Ducati fleet?

@marina , I am starting to see what you mean about the Diavel. A 240 rear tire? That puts it in the Sport-Cruiser category, similar to my V-Rod DX, but with a real lean angle that does not drag the frame on the ground. The up-right seating position is more like a cruiser, with the power of a sport bike. I think I would feel right at home on this bike. Oh, and I think you would feel at home on my DX with the low seat height. Both of these bikes would steer like riding a cow at low speeds. I would not feel bad at all about dropping this bike in a u-turn, if your not familiar with the 240 tire steering geometry. Takes a bit of getting used to........
I love the Monster and Scrambler, not to mention the supersport bikes. The Panigale is beautiful! I'm not really a fan of the Multistrada, Diavel, or Hystperstrada, Hypermotard models.
@Egon I liked the Diavel, it was easier to ride than I expected even if I did drop it when I tried to do a U-turn. Thanks to the carbon, not a single scratch.
@Teramuto, I loved the Scrambler, you're gonna need one. I dropped that too but only because one of the journalists tipped over on his Monster and domino-ed me down in the parking lot!
@VRSCDX I'm still in SF in spirit
Pictures coming soon!
