From the $8,995 Monster 696 to the $39,995 1198 Corse R Special Edition, a 2010 Ducati Buyer's Guide

Tuesday March 9, 2010
2010 Ducati Buyer's Guide My recent test of the 2010 Ducati Multistrada 1200 produced a pretty major revelation: though the Multi's go (almost) anywhere attitude is consistent with the adventure touring genre epitomized by bikes like BMW's R1200GS and Kawasaki's KLR650, the high-tech Multi is a pretty serious departure from Ducati's usual race-ready fare.

2010 Ducati Buyer's GuideThough fully-faired bikes like the 848 and 1198 typify their contemporary image, Ducati has also branched out of late into the supermoto realm (with the Hypermotard 796 and 1100 EVO) and the naked superbike genre (through the Streetfighter)-- all, of course, while enjoying a dalliance in the retro-styled arena (via the SportClassic GT1000.)

See key specs and pricing info for every brand new Duc in this 2010 Ducati Buyer's Guide, and let us know which of these Italian bikes make you scream "Mamma mia!"

Hmm… I think I’ll take a Multistrada 1200S…

…and a 1198R Corse Special Edition…

…and a Hypermotard 1100 EVO…

…and an 848…

So many nice bikes, so little money.

I need some of Tom Cruise’s money. :)

It’s the 1198S for me. The Corse is REALLY pretty, but I still think Black is it.
