2010 Ducati Multistrada: crashed
Mon, 08 Mar 2010
THIS IS WHAT a 2010 Ducati Multistrada looks like when it's been slung up a gravel road at well over 60mph.
The word on the street is that journo Costa Mouzouris of CMGonline is the culprit behind the battled-scarred machine; reports say he lobbed it while on the bike's world press launch in Lanzarote.
In true Ducati post-topple fashion, the bike appears to have spewed the contents of its sump over the floor, as well as sustaining a fair bit of cosmetic damage. The rider is reported to be fairing (groan) a lot better.
Which leads us all to the conclusion most of us already knew: if you're gonna take a bike off road, no matter how hi-tech the manufacturer claims it may be, then for God's sake fit proper off-road tyres if you want to avoid this sort of thing.
Visordown was also on the new bike's launch - but managed to keep the 'all-rounder' sunny-side-up - read our full 2010 Ducati Multistrada report.
