Forks are a new NPX 25/30 (S model), 25mm compression piston, 30mm rebound piston. Total stroke is 125mm (+5mm increase).
Fork spring softened to 9.5nm (-.5 from 2021).
Anti squat is achieved using a 4mm higher swingarm pivot point which is non adjustable.

Ducati is not an exotic. They make two dozen models and churn out bikes in the thousands, have dealerships everywhere. That's the opposite of exotic.I guess the whole exhaust/mods debate. Is really all just personal choice. If you can afford it and it makes you happy.......Have at it!
For me. I owned a 916 at a young age. I currently blessed enough to pretty much buy any bike I like. I held off on the 2021 looking for updates on the 22. And got lucky!
IMHO a Ducati is an "Exotic". No offense to any of the other manufacturers. The R1 is the best bang for the buck with mods cheap and abundant. But nothing out there looks like a Ducati.
The new bmw is sweet. My friend bought one last weekend. All the nice bells and whistles at lower cost, and a more comfy bike.
.... the tire pressure system, the bmw ones are pretty bad from a quality perspective. Would never trust Ducati to get that right.
They finally knocked it off with that asymmetrical headlight BS last year and the new charcoal color scheme isn't as garish as the white blue and red.
TPMS can't be that hard to get right in 2021. What's so terrible about the BMW one?
I remember an older CBR that pulled same scheme, looked awesome !!Black logos are red firings is small detail but very interesting - not normal
Or you can spend 120k on a F-250I dont know about you all, but I find it really silly how the price of exhausts have gotten out of control. $7k for an exhaust and that doesn’t even include the 12 hours of labor Ducati charges to put one of these on. Are you really telling me it costs $9k to get a pipe for your bike? Buying an expensive performance motorcycle and having to spend an additional $10k to get the fueling and sound right is downright dumb.
Price inflation has gotten out of hand. Just 10 years ago, you could get a flagship Ducati super bike and termi for $20k. Today, that number is $40k.
You have a good point cars have followed the same trend of price hyperinflation. I just bought an F-150 for 75 grand to replace an F-150 for $75 grand from 4 years ago so I know the pain.Or you can spend 120k on a F-250
