hobiee 28 Posted December 10, 2021 Looks a lot like the old Ktm 640 adventure. Im sure It's nothing like the old paint shaker, but lookswise I see it. I love the fact Ducati is jumping in the game !!!! Of course it will cost 35k to start.......... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
