Hoping for a new HS in Ducati

Personally, I could never own a Multistrada because both models are so ugly! A chap I spoke to yesterday, who was taller and stronger than me, said he tried one and it just didn't feel right, but again that's just personal preference.

Sadly, Ducati have a habit of dropping models a year or two before all the other manufacturers release their own versions. I'm thinking of the excellent Sport-Touring ST series. Not sexy enough for Ducati's image perhaps, or because owners kept them too long and didn't want/need the next glamorous model? I expect the long-term devotion of owners like me to their ST Ducatis will be repeated for the HS.

I honestly would have a new HS 950 if they made one. I'm looking at other bikes at the moment as had mine for 3 years and fancy a change but feel like the HS ticks so many boxes.

Looking at Monster 1200S and Multi 1200S Touring. But I don't have lots of room in the garage at the moment so the HS fits in just.

I don't think we'll see one unfortunately. The redesigned subframe for the 950 is lighter, but weaker than previous models so it won't be able to accommodate the weight of bags and or a top case. Probably still possible to tour with it, just strap a light loaded bag on the tail.
