Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Multistrada 1200 S 2013

Ducati Multistrada 1200 S 2013

The Multistrada requires a willingness to compromise, which is often compensated for by the wonderful performance from the 150 hp engine and the exclusive flair that a Ducati spreads. If you are looking for a comfortable sedan for thousands of kilometres on American highways, you should leave the Ducati Multistrada 1200 S alone.

Brutal power delivery - but with adjustment options

inimitable sound

efficient cornering.

Uneven bagging at very low revs - interesting in tight corners

weak rear brake.
