Ducati Multistrada V2S

Tested by Michael Neeves

I’ll be living with two Ducatis this year. For the first few months I’ll be hooning around on the new Streetfighter V2 S and after that I’ll be getting some two-up touring in on the new Multistrada V2 S. I haven’t ridden either yet, so I’m looking forward to seeing how the shiny new V2 engines perform in the real world.

With the skids and wheelies out of my system it’ll be nice to kick back on the Multistrada V2 S in the summer. I always thought the old-model Multi 950 and V2 were nimbler and more involving than their big sisters and the new V2 should be more of the same. I’ve been used to touring on bigger bikes with my other half, so it’ll be interesting to see if it’s as effortless on the long haul.
