Ducati's 2019 950cc adventure weapon gets major changes

[Wassers]

Interesting article from MCN on the next updated version of the 950.

The clutch change is welcome as the current cable version is very snatchy from cold.

Whats everyone's thoughts on the changes for the updated version ?????

My thought is maybe I should have waited! Oh well, I have had 8600 fabulous kilometers on my bike so far and look forward to many more! The only problem I have had so far is my fuel sensor has gone bad and I haven't had time to get it to the dealer yet to get it checked out...Brian

The hydraulic clutch would have been a welcome addition to my ride. I must be getting lazy  in my old age.

Still no cruise control........WHY???

True to Ducati marketing it will probably be a really expensive add on.

I don't see enough changes to get excited about. It is a shame that they didn't included cruise control or may be we just hav'ent heard about it yet

I hope they will make an update to the suspensions too (I think the weakest point of our fantastic bike). I don't dream for semi-active suspensions as the 1260 S, just something more performing...

As already said, switching out the cable clutch for hydraulic is a good move. IMU based safety features are also worthwhile i guess although i doubt i use that stuff much day-to-day.

I don't like the aesthetic changes, especially the grey swing arm (and hand-guards?). Cruise control would have made a lot of sense.

All in all, not enough to tempt me into a swap or make me regret my purchase, especially since it comes with a price-hike.

may-be the existing models will be sold off at a good price and if that was the case I wold consider upgrading to a fresher model]#

Well, having only picked up my new MS today all I can say is I'm impressed with the current bike, so difficult at this stage to comment on what might be improved - though cruise control would have been nice.
Not worried about a newer version being imminent - I got a very good deal and it's going to be a keeper. At least now I'm in possession of a bike when I comment on here!
Only initial issue I have after the ride home is the slightly odd position of the footbrake which I found awkward - compared to one's natural foot position it felt both a bit too low and 'in' towards the bike. And there doesn't appear to be any available adjustment. Anyone else found it a problem - any solutions?
