2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200 S Granturismo
Endless Transformations.
This is the tagline Ducati uses when marketing its Ducati Multistrada 1200, a four-in-one motorcycle.
When it arrived on the market in 2010, the Multistrada 1200 was an immediate hit for those seeking long-distance touring, sport touring and adventure both on and off the road.
Why? The bike combined upright-positioning comfort with the performance Ducati is known for, the Multi arriving with 150 horsepower. It also featured the latest in technology, including four riding modes – Sport, Touring, Urban and Enduro, among others.
And for 2013, Ducati is offering the Multistrada in four versions – the standard, the S Touring, the S Pikes Peak, and the newest addition – the S Granturismo.
The Granturismo is based on the S Touring model, but features a host of upgrades for the journey-minded rider. Some of these upgrades include additional luggage space, comfort, and lighting.
