Pricing will start from $22,990* for the Multistrada 1200.

Ducati claims the Multistrada 1200's revolutionary "four-bikes-in-one" electronic riding-mode adjustment and 150hp (110 kw) performance from the Superbike-derived Testastretta 11 engine, will make it a highly desirable purchasing choice

With a dry weight of just 189kg, Multistrada 1200 is lighter than any other large capacity sport-touring, touring or road-enduro bike currently available. There is "keyless" starting and a comprehensive trip-computer aboard the new bike.

The Multistrada 1200 ABS model is priced at an RRP of $24,490*; $1,500 option up from the standard version.

The standard Multistrada 1200 and 1200 ABS versions are available in red or white, over a Racing Grey frame with black wheels. Australian deliveries will commence in June 2010.

The S Sport version as standard is enhanced with carbon-fibre components for its front air intakes, cam-belt covers, rear hugger and lateral air extractors.
