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.
De Ducati Multistrada 950 werd in 2017 geïntroduceerd als een toegankelijker en lichter instapmodel voor de Multistrada-familie voor avontuurlijke reizen, onder het vlaggenschip Multistrada 1200/1260. Hij werd aangedreven door de vertrouwde 937 cc Testastretta-motor en kreeg een belangrijke update in 2019 met de toevoeging van ABS in bochten en tractiecontrole, en opnieuw in 2021 met een herziene 950 S-variant met spaakwielen en vernieuwde elektronica. Het werd opmerkelijk omdat het een groot deel van de Multistrada-ervaring bood tegen een lagere prijs en een lager gewicht, wat aantrekkelijk was voor een breder scala aan rijders.

Wat kopers moeten weten
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.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"Italy's most practical adventure bike rewards buyers who do their homework."
$8,500-$13,500 usedThe 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.
