The diva from Bologna is no longer a diva at all - the Ducati Mulitstrada 1200 behaves exactly as you would expect from a touring enduro. The predecessor was already agile, but the current Multi now also impresses with smooth manners in all speed ranges. This could seem almost boring to true fans of the old Mulitstrada, but makes it more usable overall. In tight corners, it needs a little more pressure than the competition, but it also draws a nice line and in hairpin bends, thanks to the DVT system, the now predictable attack from far below is very beneficial. When the bends get wider, the Multistrada 1200 draws on the full power of its 160 hp in the upper rev range, which only a few competitors can keep up with. The seating position has also been eased compared to its predecessor, and the rider now sits much more comfortably in front of the wide handlebars.
