Nature can be a bitch

Even Mother Nature hates the old Multistrada...

People always say the 999 was ugly. Granted, it wasn't beautiful, but it was OK. Especially if you compare it to the average Japanese bike.

Also, the 1098 is dime-a-dozen. The 999 is much rarer, and therefore more interesting when you come across one.

The 999's looks definitely wasn't wowing in nature, but it looked distinctive. I can't tell if that's an R1 coming at me or that's a 1098/1198.

Following the 916 and its children (esp in a traditional company like ducati) with something radical wasn't the best plan
