2010 Ducati Multistrada 1200 Photo Gallery: 150 horsepower, 417 lbs Dry, High-Tech Galore!

While gearing up to ride the new Hypermotard 796 at Ducati headquarters in Bologna, Italy, I spotted what looked like a camouflaged enduro speeding into the parking lot… but before I could grab my camera, the black blur was gone.

Today’s unveiling of the 2010 Ducati Multistrada at the EICMA show in Milan revealed far more than my ‘lil point-and-shoot could have. It turns out the new bike offers features like electronically controllable Öhlins suspension, a four-mode fly-by-wire throttle management system, anti-lock brakes, and a hands-free ignition system (not unlike Kawasaki’s KIPASS.) Other long distance-friendly highlights include heated handgrips, hard cases, and a tire pressure monitoring system.

Take a look at Ducati’s latest in our 2010 Multistrada 1200 Photo Gallery, and stay tuned for more on Ducati’s 2010 lineup.
