Multistrada 1200

[muskrat]

Among some of the coolest accessories is the $2,399 Termignoni Racing Exhaust (Ducati Part No. 96459510B).

Dear GOD that's expensive for a little carbon can.  RIDICULOUS but overall I love the bike.  Must stay away!

test drove one Sat  and it feels totally different than my 02 s4.  Totally smooth, linear and stable. Very comfortable and quiet.  The seat did feel like i was sitting in the bike vs on it but aftermarket (  i am 6'3") seat should fix this.  I loved the specs on the bike but realised i rode it on sport mode the whole time and it was just fine. So the adjustable features may be overkill.
I think  i could buy the base with ABS and DTC  in a couple of years.  Downside is that it felt too civilized and not Ducatish without the sound ( wet clutch) and exhaust ( i have Termis).
Probably the nicest bike i have been on but did not get juices flowing. ( for auto types, akin to difference between Benz and BMW m3).
I hope that the MS board guys come up with ways to spice it up a little

well if the interior is the same as the 848 you could always use the dry slipper conversion kit for the 848 they have. I honestly think that conversion would be a bit cheaper if they would drop the magnesium side cover.

Pfft.  Go take a look at the suggested retail $ on a new Quat-D full system; also $2350 (on sale for only $1999!) and doesn't come with a replacement ECU and air filter.  Makes the DP system look like a steal.  Probably priced for being the 'first mover' but damn talk about price gouge.

*patiently twiddles thumbs waiting on Arrow and the rest to get up to speed.

More aftermarket stuff coming to market for the 1200 - from a company caller Alt Rider. Mostly protection bits, frame sliders, crash bars, skid plates. They do offer up a nice looking radiator guard

I delivered a black 1200 multistrada to a customer a couple of weeks ago to which we had fitted a full Arrow system, the quality, fit and finish were first class and the sound was bloody amazing (LOUD) so much so that I had to fit the DB killer before the guy was happy (he wasn't a member of the loud pipes saves lives club). I've also delivered another one fitted with a Quat-D system, the quality of that was ok but to me it looked to much were as the Arrow system opened up the rear wheel beautifully.

Yes, that does look sharp.

actually, there're only 2 colors that fit Ducatis real real good, red and black [both versions], yellow and white ... if you like them
