visual difference between the
old and new bikes—it's all subtle
tweaks and evolutions—which
is a sign of Ducati's confidence
in the Multi. We had two model

cases, a centerstand, a heated
seat for the rider and passenger,
heated grips, the radar system
and Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR rub

able ride heights and optional
seats have become a new battle-
ground for manufacturers trying
to woo all shapes and sizes to
their machines.
