Ducati Multistrada 620 Review

Used Buyer Review

The Multistrada 620 is Ducati's forgotten middle child, and honestly that's what makes it interesting on the used market. You're getting proper Italian twin character — that distinctive L-twin thump, sharp throttle response, and genuinely capable chassis — without the terrifying depreciation or complexity of the 1000/1100 versions. The 620cc motor is torquey enough for real-world riding and makes around 62bhp, which keeps insurance reasonable without feeling gutless. Here's the honest bit though: these things need maintenance and they need it religiously. Desmo valve services are expensive regardless of displacement — budget £400-600 every 12,000 miles. Check service history obsessively. Neglected examples will punish you financially. Electrical gremlins are real, fuel injection throttle bodies need syncing periodically, and the suspension is genuinely adjustable but often left at factory settings by previous owners who never bothered. Buy a clean, documented example and you've got a characterful, surprisingly capable do-it-all bike that feels premium without costing premium money. Skip the basket cases entirely.
