Ducati Multistrada burst on to the motorcycling scene and in some ways redefined versatility and performance, and offered a true alternative to traditional, focused motorcycles. For once there was a bike that could genuinely have the title of being an all-round motorcycle, capable of tackling mild off-road terrain and being a reasonably competent track machine, despite being predominately a road bike.
The Multistrada was designed for (and on) the legendary �Futa Pass� that sits not too far from the Bologna factory. A twisty mountain road that has straights punctuated by all sort of corners from fast open sweeping bends to tight hairpin like turns. It is a favorite haunt of all the local riders on sports bikes. The Mutistrada was designed with this road firmly in mind. Basically, the bike is a combination of two completely different types of motorcycles, the �big dual sport� and pure sport bikes. It incorporates the key characteristics of both, the comfort and versatility of the dual sports, plus the precise handling and engine power of the traditional race-styled sport bike.
