Ducati | 2007 Multistrada 1100S SOLD
The word Multistrada is Italian for "many roads" as the bike is designed to handle asphalt as well as some unpaved surfaces. Essentially the bike is a hybrid of a supermoto and a sport touring motorcycle. Its upright riding position gives it a stronger appeal for those who like touring but want something lighter than a touring bike.
The Multistrada competes in the same niche market as do other multi-purpose and dual-sport motorcycles such as the BMW GS, but even according to the owners manual the Multistrada is not intended for off-road use despite its off-road inspired design. Designed by Pierre Terblanche as an evolution to Terblanche's previous design the Cagiva Gran Canyon.
In 2007, the 1,000 cc engine was replaced with a 1,100 cc engine that was claimed to produce an extra 5 ft·lbf (6.8 N·m) of torque. The S model came with black wheels. Ducati also improvied fuel gauge accuracy, improved vibration isolated handlebars were introduced to reduce rider fatigue.
A closed loop fuel injection system replaced the open loop FI system on the 1000 cc models and the characteristic dry clutch was replaced with a conventional wet-clutch. Ducati also increased the valve adjust interval from 6,000 miles to 7,500 milesfor a "50% reduction in maintenance costs".
The S-Model 1100 Multistrada comes with Ohlins front and rear suspension, carbon-fiber front fender and timing belt covers.
