With a completely new but purely Ducati look and style, the Multistrada 1200 delivers sport bike power and excitement combined with comfort and versatility.

This is a motorcycle designed to tackle all kinds of journeys and road surfaces.  From a sport bike for outright excitement to a tourer for long journeys with passenger and luggage, and from an everyday bike which can breeze through the daily commute to an agile enduro able to tackle off-road routes, the brand new Ducati transforms itself to suit rider demands.

The heart of the Multistrada 1200 is derived from the World Championship-winning Superbike 1198 Testastretta engine, modified to provide unprecedented smoothness and tractability. Referred to as the Testastretta 11° (eleven degrees) it represents a milestone in combining performance with usability.

Ducati have yet to confirm that the Multistrada 1200 will take centre stage at the Carole Nash International Motorcycle and Scooter Show, at the Birmingham NEC, which opens to the public on 27 November.
