THIS UNIT IS A DEMO WITH LOW MILEAGE. THE NEW SALE PRICE IS $17,495.00. That’s right; the new Multistrada is the first Ducati with latest evolution of the Testastretta 1,198 V-twin, which now features the revolutionary Desmodromic Variable Timing (DVT) in combination with dual-spark ignition and secondary air bleed. This bumps claimed horsepower from 150 hp at 9,250 rpm to 160 at 9,500, and claimed peak torque has increased from 91.8 pound-feet at 7,500 rpm to 100.3 at the same rpm. Simply put, there is no comparison between old and new engines. The new Testastretta 1,198 DVT powerplant has a much broader power curve starting as low as 2,000 rpm.
