Ducati Multistrada V2 Review

Used Buyer Review

The Multistrada V2 is Ducati finally getting the adventure-touring formula right without the drama of the older Granturismo or Testastretta engines. The 937cc Superquadro Mono-derived V-twin pulls hard from low revs and doesn't cook your legs at traffic lights — a genuine improvement over earlier Multistradas. Cornering ABS and four riding modes work intelligently rather than just ticking regulatory boxes. Used examples from 2022 onward are genuinely sorted machines. Buy with your eyes open though. Service intervals are 7,500 miles and dealer labor bills are brutal — budget £600-900 per major service. Check the chain and sprockets carefully; some owners neglect them. The quickshifter on lower-spec models can be notchy downshifting. Panniers compatibility across model years is inconsistent, so verify what's included. For used money you're getting a genuinely capable all-rounder that embarrasses much pricier competition. It's not as plush as a BMW GS or as bombproof as a Tiger 900, but it's sharper than both and rewards riders who actually push it.
