Ducati Multistrada 620
The Ducati Multistrada 620 was introduced in 2005 as a more accessible, entry-level version of the Multistrada lineup, designed to appeal to newer riders and those seeking a less intimidating alternative to the flagship Multistrada 1000. It used a detuned version of the air-cooled 618cc L-twin engine derived from the Monster 620, offering the versatile adventure-touring character of the Multistrada at a lower price point. Production ran through 2007, after which it was phased out as Ducati focused on higher-displacement models in the Multistrada range.

What Buyers Should Know
Desmo Service Costs
The Multistrada 620 requires Desmodromic valve service every 7,500 miles, which can cost $600–$1,000 at a dealer. Always verify service history before buying, as skipped intervals can cause serious engine wear.
Watch for Oil Leaks
The 620's engine is known for weeping oil from the cam belt covers and cylinder head gaskets, especially on higher-mileage bikes. Minor seepage is common but inspect carefully for anything more serious.
Affordable Entry Point
As one of Ducati's smaller-displacement adventure bikes, the 620 holds modest resale value, making it an affordable gateway into the brand. Well-maintained examples with documented service history command the best prices.
