2003 Ducati Multistrada on 2040-motos

2003   DUCATI   Multistrada   1000DS   (Dual – Spark)

    First year of the fabled Multistrada by Ducati featuring a 1000cc Desmodromic Dual Spark V-twin motor.  Fully adjustable suspension and ABS braking combine to offer one of the best ‘adventure bike’ rides available wrapped in a Italian suit.  Very capable with exotic styling, glorious exhaust note and bullet-proof power from one of Ducati’s best ever.

Very original and Extremely clean.   Virtually New with 6,010 on the odometer.   Digital dash w. tach

This Multistrada has received the Ducati adjustable lowering kit so it can accommodate shorter riders.

Equipped with factory option saddlebags, Fantastic Termigogni exhaust and PSR clutch slave.   

Always serviced by Ducati with extensive service file and all manuals included.  

Recently refreshed with fluids changed, New brake master, New oil lines, New battery and air filter. 

Only significant flaw is a rock chip in the headlight lens and the oem rear tire should be replaced soon.

Always garaged and Meticulously cared for by mature rider.    

Below are two reviews of the bike when it was new followed by the bikes technical specifications.
