Result
Thanks to the weight savings, the new Multistrada V2 is significantly improved compared to its predecessor in terms of drivability and also in terms of technical equipment. The price is justified in view of the abundant technical helpers and the installed components - even compared to the competition. Ducati calls the new Multi V2 a cross-over - and that's what it is, but it's also very suitable for the really long journey, so it's also a real adventure bike somewhere.The test bike was kindly provided to us by Bergmann & Söhne in Bremervörde . By the way, both a V2S and a V2 are available there as a demonstrator for test drives. So you can compare the difference in suspension directly - if you find one, please write to us.
