The all-in-one bike Ducati Multistrada 1200

With the Multistrada 1200 Ducati is claiming to have taken the original Multistrada concept of sporting performance, comfort and versatility a more than a few steps further. The goal of the Multistrada 1200 is truly to be “Multi”, with a bike capable of navigating any kind of journey and road surface, while leveraging Ducati technology derived from the Bologna-made race bikes in MotoGP and World Superbike.

That’s a pretty heady mandate and to pull it off Ducati is hoping that the Multistrada 1200 is “A bike without limits, which could transform itself to suit the rider’s needs and not the other way around. A motorcycle that is four bikes in one.”

The Multistrada 1200’s goal is to be able to hang with the supersport set, tour in continent crossing style two-up with luggage, hammer out or hooligan through day to day in the city, and hit the gravel “with the agility of an enduro.” If Ducati pulls this off then, versatility, thy name is Multistrada 1200… not that the outgoing 1100S was a slouch at most of these acts.
