In numerous tests, the Multistrada had to hold its own against many opponents on extremely versatile terrain and was usually the fastest and overall best motorbike. Logically enough - it is also the most expensive motorbike in this class. The Ducati crew has poured all the high-quality ingredients into the motorbike that money can buy. These have been combined to create a harmonious overall package that rides incredibly well. A worthy winner of various comparative tests at a proud price.
