New Multistrada to be shown

A new Ducati Multistrada 1200 is only partially revealed in a Ducati website, where a Flash animation provides a cut-off view of the front of the bike.

The wraps will be taken off Nov. 9 at the Milan Motorcycle Show, but for now it looks like the bike will be powered by the liquid-cooled 1198 Testastreta motor and will be equipped with radially mounted Brembo brakes, a single-sided swingarm, a centrestand, an under-motor exhaust, and a steel-and-alumimum trellis frame.

The new bike was thought to be called a Strada Aperta, or Stradaperta, but Ducati’s site makes it clear: this is a Multistrada.
