Ducati Multistrada 950

The Ducati Multistrada 950 has a top speed of 220 km/h (estimated), produces 113 hp and weighs 215 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.

La Ducati Multistrada 950 a été introduite en 2017 en tant que point d'entrée plus accessible et plus léger dans la famille de tourisme d'aventure Multistrada, située en dessous de la Multistrada 1200/1260, produit phare. Il était propulsé par le célèbre moteur Testastretta de 937 cm3 et a fait l'objet d'une importante mise à jour en 2019 avec l'ajout de l'ABS en virage et de l'antipatinage, puis de nouveau en 2021 avec une variante 950 S révisée dotée de roues à rayons et d'une électronique mise à jour. Elle est devenue célèbre pour offrir une grande partie de l'expérience Multistrada à un prix et un poids inférieurs, attirant ainsi un plus large éventail de conducteurs.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir

⚙️

Desmo Service Costs

The Multistrada 950 requires Desmodromic valve service every 15,000 miles, which can cost $600–$1,200 at a dealership. Budget for this when buying used, as skipped services are common and can lead to engine wear.

📉

Strong Resale Value

The 950 holds its value well compared to Japanese adventure bikes, typically retaining 70–80% of its value after two years. Its Ducati badge and relatively low production numbers keep demand steady on the used market.

🔦

Electrical Gremlins Watch

Some owners report issues with the throttle-by-wire system and occasional dashboard glitches, particularly on pre-2019 models. A pre-purchase inspection checking for fault codes with a Ducati diagnostic tool is strongly recommended.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion

8.5/10
Idéal pour
Long-distance riders wanting sportbike performance and comfort

"Italy's most practical adventure bike rewards buyers who do their homework."

$8,500-$13,500 used

The 950 is essentially a detuned 1200 with better manners, and that's not a bad thing. The 113hp V-twin pulls hard from low revs, the ergonomics are genuinely all-day comfortable, and it handles better than anything this tall has any right to. Find a good one and you'll understand why Ducati owners get that look in their eyes. Check the service history obsessively — these need valve checks every 15,000 miles and dealerships charge serious money for it. The Testastretta engine is bulletproof if maintained, but neglected examples will haunt your wallet. Avoid any bike without a full paper trail. Electronics are the real selling point over older Multistradas. Cornering ABS and traction control work seamlessly, and the riding modes actually change the character meaningfully. Budget for suspension setup if you're buying pre-2019 — the non-Skyhook units need professional attention to shine. Used prices are strong because demand stays high, so don't expect a bargain, but you will get your money's worth.
