Engineered by Ducati for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2014 Ducati Multistrada 1200 pairs a 1198.4 cc (73.1 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 147.9 HP (108 kW) at 9,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 124.5 Nm (91.8 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 123.4 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (9,250 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Multistrada 1200 measures 224 kg (494 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.66 HP/kg (1.51 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 850 mm (33.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,530 mm (60.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
