The article really doesn't say but variable valve timing would be useful in any Ducati. Probably the wave of the future (and you just
thought
your routine maintenance was expensive now…)

From what I've been reading the 2015 Multi should have it. Spy shot and some info in the link below:
http://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/news-and-views/news/2012/2014/october/spy-shot-ducatis-2015-multistrada-1200/#.VEgajhnnbqB
I for one am excited about the prospect. I'm glad I won't be in the market for one come 2015 but hopefully the 2016 or 2017 models should have any bugs worked out by then... for an Italian bike anyway.
The variable timing deal worked amazballs on my VFR and anything that can help tame the Multi at low rpm's without giving up the thrill of having your arms pulled from their sockets if alright by me.
Now if only they would bother with cruise control...

Good find. I didn't know your VFR was a VTEC. Thought Honda reserved that for their cars only.
Oh and cruise control? That's only for people who actually
ride
their Ducatis. Obviously, the engineers can't be bothered by such a small margin. (Yeah, who am I to talk… Oh, the irony).
