The newly announced Ducati Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak Special Edition is notable for its hot looking Corse paint work as much as its inconceivably long name. Along with the paintwork the model features pin striping on the wheels in addition to even more carbon accoutrements (fairing screen and mudguard) than the already well endowed 1200S [...]
Ducati has announced the Multistrada 1200 S Pikes Peak Special Edition, in celebration of Greg Tracy’s victory in the 2010 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The Special Edition follows a massive first year success for the award-winning Multistrada 1200. The Pikes Peak Special Edition is specially dressed in a stunning Ducati Corse paint scheme with [...]
Despite only being launched in April 2010, almost 1 in every 4 new Ducatis sold last year was a Multistrada 1200. The Bologna entry in the Soft Roader market was a resounding sales success for Ducati showing that the company’s bets on product development and investment in a challenging economy paid off.
Ducati has issued a second recall notice for the new Ducati Multistrada 1200. This one relates to the engine stalling whilst the bike is stationary and the engine idling.

Ducati appears to have acted on customer feedback for the 2011 Ducati Multistrada 1200 just announced at the Intermot show in Cologne, Germany. The changes are small but likely to be well received with some of them being offered to 2010 model year owners as a retrofit.
No this isn’t a Freddie Spencer-esque demonstration of front end sliding. Bikes both old and new get crashed unfortunately but it always makes your stomach turn a little more when something brand spanking abrades itself into the asphalt. Motorcycle News crashed their Ducati Multistrada 1200 right in front of their photographer who bravely didn’t desert [...]
Pierre Terblanche is no longer working for Ducati (to the huge relief of many) but is now plying his designer’s trade over at Moto Guzzi. Recently he spoke on the new Ducati Multistrada 1200 from his perspective of designer of the original air-cooled Multistrada 1100.
A post on a Ducati forum provides fresh evidence that the new Ducati Power Cruiser alternatively dubbed the Mega Monster or Vyper is powered by the same Testastretta 11º V-twin as Ducati’s new Multistrada 1200.
With new spyshots appearing of the Ducati Power Cruiser that has been referred to variously as the Vyper or Mega-Monster, we can now speculate a few things about its specifications. Claims of 150bhp and the desire for a robust bottom-end and midrange power delivery probably mean the shove is going to come from the Multistrada [...]
