D
ucati's 2022 Multistrada V4 S
will come with the automatic
lowering suspension that was
first debuted on the Harley-David-
son Pan America.
The system works by taking
preload off the fork and shock at
stop and slow speed so the rider
can make easier contact with
the ground, with the bike being
20mm lower. This feature will be
standard on the 2022 model, but
if you have a 2021 model Multi V4
S, you can get a software update
from Ducati free of charge, which
is a nice thing from the Italians.
The Multistrada V4 S will also
get a multimedia update for the
connectivity software, so you now
no longer need the screen to
be lit to be able to connect your
phone, and there's a new Iceberg
White paint scheme, as seen
here.
Additionally, there will be new
aluminum luggage options includ-
ing side bags and a top case
made by Givi.
The 2022 Ducati Multistrada
V4 will be on sale for $19,995
MSRP, while the higher-spec S
model will cost $26,095.

"Some Iceberg White
for your Ducati,
madam?" There are a
few subtle (and not so
subtle) changes for the
new Multi coming.
1992 Kawasaki
ZX-7R K2 Sells For
$69,978!
I
f you've been keeping an eye on the current
trend for 1990s rarities fetching wild prices,
this one is sure to interest you.
Our pals over at Iconic Motorbikes often
come up with a few gems but this one is spe-
cial even for them. They've just auctioned off
an in-crate, never assembled 1992 Kawasaki
ZX-7R K2 for a stunning $69,978, putting it up
there in factory Honda RC30/45 money.
The ZX-7R K2 was a homologation special made
strictly for racing, designed to compete with the RC30,
Yamaha's OW01 and the various Ducati 888 editions
that were pumped out by the factory at the time.
To find an in-crate, never assembled ZX-7R is
extremely rare, and you have to wonder whether
the new buyer will leave it in there or, heaven
forbid, actually put that front wheel on and go for a
ride.

Rare as rocking
horse poo. Hopefully
the new owner of
this 1992 Kawasaki
ZX-7R K2 keeps it as
pristine as it is now.
