New Ducati MultisTrada 1200

The Intermot International Motorcycle Show in Cologne opened its doors to the public today and, with Germany celebrating its national “Unity Day” holiday, the prestigious fair complex enjoyed a massive turn-out of enthusiastic visitors. At an equally packed press conference yesterday, Ducati presented the new-for-2013 Monster Anniversary as well as new Diavel colours and the stunning 1199 Panigale RS13 intended for next year’s World Superbike Championship, but the focus of the adventure-driven German public visiting the Ducati stand today was definitely the new Multistrada 1200 S Granturismo. The model attracted considerable interest in its long distance ergonomics and enhanced luggage capacity as well as design features like the pinch-and-slide adjustable screen and LED lighting. The innovative and comfort-enhancing Ducati Skyhook Suspension system and Ducati Safety Pack of latest generation ABS and traction control – as fitted to all 2013 S models – were also well received and look set to continue the Multistrada’s impressive success.
