I Bought the Ducati Nobody Wants… But Is It Actually Any Good?

The Ducati Multistrada 1000S DS might be one of the ugliest motorcycles Ducati has ever made. It's certainly not a bike that gets much love, but is everyone missing out on something? I bought this Ducati after it was imported from the USA, carried out the repairs needed to get it back on the road, and finally got it UK registered. Now it's time to find out what it's actually like to ride. Despite its questionable looks, the Multistrada 1000S DS is surprisingly entertaining. With its characterful air cooled Ducati V-twin, upright riding position and surprisingly playful handling, it reminds me more of a big Hypermotard than a traditional adventure bike. So is this one of Ducati's most underrated motorcycles, or is there a good reason nobody seems to want them? Join me as I take it out for a ride and share my thoughts. 👇 What do you think? Is the original Multistrada ugly, or has its styling aged better than people give it credit for?
