Ducati Multistrada 1200
Ducati built their new Multistrada 1200 to be one of the most versatile bikes you've ever ridden and then some. What they've done here is offer a riding mode that can be changed on the fly to adapt the suspension and braking system to a sport bike setting, touring mode, urban/commuter, or enduro/off-road with just one click. Power comes from a re-tooled version of the 1198 Testastretta Superbike engine delivering 150 horsepower in a much more user-friendly setup. Link
