Ducati Cruiser seems like an oxymoron to me. Maybe a sport tourer if they'd add some bags.

But still it would look ugly

Throw some good looking bags and a shorty windshield on her and I'd be interested  Whoops, then it would be a "sport-Tourer"

Cruiser ? That's what Ducati calls it .....162hp, with 94lb/ft of torque..... I'd bet the dude up the road with the Porsche SUV already has one on order   I think the bars and the pegs look like they're in the right place... seat looks doubtful for 400 miles... how would you ever get bags on that thing? Or a backrest... or hi-way pegs... I bet you a quarter it is fun to ride... -Mike

Well you could add leather lever wraps with streamers, add a few crome skulls here and there, throw-over leather saddlebags.
Sorry,...bad visual!

 Ducatis attract these strange kinds of seat covers.

Ducati is 38 hp lower than the V-Max ....I've always liked the V-Max only thing about the new one is that ugly ass stove-pipe exhaust....I feel the same way about the new Connie as well.

Looks like the return of naked/muscle bike/cruisers to me.  Bout time. Now, if Honda would just bring back a faster/better V65. Still with 6 gears, adjustable damping in the rear, adjustable anti-dive forks up front and self canceling turn signals but with 170 -200hp instead of the 118? on the old ones. Then, Honda would be back in the game finally.

Honda care more about sales figures than they do building motorcycles anymore.

Watercooled inline four, 1000ccs... handlebars and footpegs more or less in the right place, no place to sit, no place to put your stuff, no place to put your feet during the doodah part of the ride... Stovepipe exhausts must be a EPA mandate now or something  -Mike

At least I am anyway.
