Ducatis new Multistrada 1200 promises a lower cost of ownership as far as servicing is concerned. The cost of the 7,500 mile services will take around 5 hours less in labor and will therefore be much cheaper than the current range of testastretta evoluzione based Superbikes such as the Ducati 1198.

At the moment a 7500 mile service on an 1198 takes around six-and-a-half hours. On the new Multistrada it will take around one-and-a-half hours because the valve clearances no longer have to be checked. This significantly reduces the labour costs. Ducati will be able to fill in exact costs on servicing next week once aftersales managers return from training in Bologna at the factory where they are learning how to service the new Multistrada.
