Multistrada 1200

..................


I am wondering, how does the suspension travel change?

The preload could be electrical, I guess. Some cars with that system use an oil/fluid which changes viscosity when electricity/magnetism is put through the forks.

Self-servo action on drive

Self servo action? What's this?

Some other pulls from that ADV post - Looks like Duc went for all the Flarkles

Electric filler cap
Thanks to the hands-free system, the Multistrada 1200 can be started without the key leaving the rider's pocket. With the electric filler cap there is also no need to use the flip-key or remove gloves as it is opened simply by raising a tab and closed by pressing it down. At every power-down, the hands-free system allows 60 seconds for the electric filler cap to be opened.

Tyre pressure monitoring system
As well as the ABS, DTC and ride-by-wire, Ducati offers an additional safety tool. The system is made up of two sensors inserted inside the special tyre valves which communicate via the radio system inside the hands-free electronic key. This real time communication displays temperature and pressure information on the instrument panel and signals any problems.

Chripes, Ducati can't even get a gauge cluster to last for 5 years, and they are adding more electronic gizzmoes than a mercedes.

The fuel gauge on my Multi is absolutely worthless! How's all this other stuff going to work if they can't even get that right?! 

[EvilSteve]

As long as it looks cool, who cares?

[sally101]

I know of no consistent issues with the newer dashes and the fuel gauge is fixed on the 1100.. The old Multi Dash is 2 generations old now..

I don't care for the side covers that make it look Buell like.  I think if you painted them black on the red/white models it would look better.

actually they also remind me of the 999 barge boards.

+1, that's what came to mind for me, as well


oh, but it's a sin to think the 999 was anything good... 

[DoubleEagle]

Compared to the last generation , I rather like the looks of this new Multistrada.

I give it my blessing.

never said i don't like the barge boards. but as a whole, the bike is too disjointed. no flow to it. it's a part here, a scoop here, a half a fender here, a barge board, an exhaust then another, etc. it's like 20 designers sat down with their own piece of the bike and no one talked about the bike together as a single piece of work.

never said i don't like the barge boards.

I never said you did 

but alot of the MTS1200 lines are obviously drawn from other things, there's no doubt about that

[Raux]
