2010 Ducati MultiStrada 1200 - Beautiful Condition

Description

2010 non-ABS model in beautiful near perfect condition. I have loved this bike since brand new; always garaged always covered and washed and waxed regularly. Never down no dents no damage...moving on to a slightly older BMW R1200GS(!). You can see in the pictures how gorgeous it is at just a tick over 13K miles; it's ready to go cross-country or around the world! Kelly Blue Book says dealers charge $10700 for one in great condition but NADA guides say $9675(!). A "fly and ride home" is just a weekend away...come on out and we'll pick you up at the airport with a full tank of gas. Here's the marketspeak (from aboutdotcom):The 2010 Ducati Multistrada 1200 wouldn't have stirred much interest if it were simply a mild redesign of the outgoing air-cooled sport tourer but the re-imagined Multi boasts so many radical features-- among them asuperbike-sourced engine-- that it has become one of the most anticipated bikes of the year. We rode the new Multistrada over 150 miles in the Canary Islands to experience the bike firsthand across a variety of terrain. Ducati boldly claims that their new Multistrada 1200 combines four bikes in one but how can one bike embody so many different personalities? Let's see how the Multistrada's hardware addresses those claims.Read on to find out whether or not the newest Ducati lives up to the hype.

The Goods Part I: Four Bikes in One?

The base version of the Multistrada 1200 is priced at $14995 and comes with Ducati Traction Control (DTC.).Thethrottle mappingchanges the bike's on-road behavior via adjustable on the fly power modes. "Sport" mode uses all of the engine's 150 hp with sharp throttle response and DTC set to 4 (with 8 being the most intrusive.) "Touring" sets DTC to 5 and softens suspension while "Urban" cuts power to 100 hp bumps DTC to 6 and softens up for bigger potholes and bumps.

The Goods Part II: Powertrain and Accessories

The 2010 Ducati Multistrada 1200 has a wet weight of only 478 pounds and its 1198cc L-twin powerplant produces 150 horsepower and 87.5 lb-ft of torque; the Multistrada's torque output is so robust that below 6500 rpm it actuallyexceeds the torque of the superbike from which it's derived. Notably service intervals have been increased to 15000 miles on this engine.

For reference the Multistrada 1200 is 19 pounds lighter than theBMW R1200GS and it's got a whopping 40 more horsepower. Compared to theYamaha Super Tenere the Multistrada has 42 more horsepower and weighs97 poundsless. And though theKTM 990 Adventureis slightly lighter it's also notably down on grunt producing a mere 105 horsepower. Since the Multistrada's power-to-weight ratio makes it the undisputed hot rod of its segment you can imagine the effect on its ridability.

The Desmodromically valved L-twin mates to a six-speed transmission and a slipper clutch and the dual seat is 33.46 inches tall (though alower accessory seatis available measuring 32.48 inches.) Standard features includes amanually adjustable windscreen a hands free ignition system that uses a wireless transponder instead of a key and adigital displaywith everything from a gear indicator to fuel economy ambient temperature average speed and more. No wonder it's been voted "Motorcycle of the Year" by so many organizations!
