2010 Ducati Multistrada 1200 Photo Gallery: 150 horsepower, 417 lbs Dry, High-Tech Galore!
Monday November 9, 2009
While gearing up to ride the new Hypermotard 796 at Ducati headquarters in Bologna, Italy, I spotted what looked like a camouflaged enduro speeding into the parking lot... but before I could grab my camera, the black blur was gone.
Today's unveiling of the 2010 Ducati Multistrada at the EICMA show in Milan revealed far more than my 'lil point-and-shoot could have. It turns out the new bike offers features like electronically controllable Öhlins suspension, a four-mode fly-by-wire throttle management system, anti-lock brakes, and a hands-free ignition system (not unlike Kawasaki's KIPASS.) Other long distance-friendly highlights include heated handgrips, hard cases, and a tire pressure monitoring system.
Take a look at Ducati's latest in our 2010 Multistrada 1200 Photo Gallery, and stay tuned for more on Ducati's 2010 lineup.

WOW, this thing is ugly!
Joe,
Ya think? I kinda like it… though I’ll reserve final judgement until I see it in the flesh.
Basem
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder Basem. Just can’t get over the beak front end . Rest of the bike isn’t bad.
I’m with Joe, the beak is a huge turn off. I understand the concept of the birds in flight and the freedom of bikes, they go hand in hand. But a beak?
Ever seen an R1200GS or similar adventure tourer?
Definitely love it or leave it looks but the MS1200 is shaping up to be the most versatile Ducati in their lineup.
I GESS THIS BIKE UNITES ALTOGETHER TWO DIFFERENT RIDING PLANETS; THE TOURING AND THE SPORTY… REGARDLESS IT IS SAID TO BE A MULTIUSE-ENDURO LIKE SUPERBIKE, I HAVE MY DOUBTS WETHER ANY BRAND OF SUPERENDURO BEHAVES WELL IN AN OFF ROAD ENVIROINMENT. I HAVE AN EXCELLENT GUESS THIS BIKE WILL BE A GREAT HIT. THE ENGINE IS PRETTY RELIABLE, HIGH TORQUE, HUMNANGOUS AMMOUNT OF HPs AND LIGHTWEIGHT. THE FRAME IS EXCELLENT. LET´S HJOPE THE MACARRONI GUYS MAKE A GOOD JOB IN ELECTRICAL PARTS…
