"Change direction and this is still Italian sports bike: the Ducati Multistrada flicks side to side with an agility not seen before in this class, far quicker than the GS and with a very natural feel too despite the high riding position. The raised rear of the seat curves around your backside which can make it slightly awkward sliding out of the seat, otherwise this doesn’t feel anywhere near as alien as most tall bikes being hustled through turns."

"One of the “four bikes in one” Ducati claims from the Multistrada is an enduro bike in the mold of BMW’s iconic GS series. But like the Buell Ulysses and Triumph Tiger, its 17-inch wheels, lightly treaded tires and low bars make it more off-road capable than a serious dirt machine. However, the big Ducati acquitted itself fairly well on the light off-road conditions we subjected it to. "

"The 2010 Ducati Multistrada 1200. Despite using the same name as before, the new generation machine expands upon its original concept by utilizing a multitude of imaginative technologies that we’ve never seen on a Ducati, or any other production street bike. This allows it to achieve higher levels of performance, comfort and, above all, practicality. "

"In both theory and actual use, the Multistrada 1200 offers the power of a superbike, the comfort and long-haul capabilities of a sport-tourer, the relaxed ergonomics and moderate weight of a naked bike, along with the ability to venture off-road. A game-changer? "

"Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman still wouldn't pick the plucky new Duc for a hypothetical third 'round-the-world journey. But for the rest of us whose primary milieu is pavement with a touch of dirt, the Ducati Multistrada 1200 is an impressively well-rounded sport adventure tourer whose available electronic aids make it ready to tackle more rugged trails than you might expect."

"Back on clean pavement, the Multistrada lays down a pace no other adventure bike can touch. Its suspension, brakes and rock-solid chassis are a match for all but a handful of pure Superbikes, all of which are too cramped for extended interstate play with one full-sized human and his/her essential kit, never mind two. It's a spectacularly capable weapon for urban warfare."

"Simply, it has it all: traction control, ABS, slipper clutch, adjustable screen, high/low seat options, single-sided swing-arm, fully digitised LCD display console, even, on the Touring model, centre-stand, panniers and heated grips."
The Multistrada 1200 is a great bike, but don't forget to compare it with a few of my other favourite adventure bikes:
Benelli Trek
Moto Guzzi Stelvio
Moto Morini Granpasso
