On 28 June 2013...I got my dream bike (well, one or them) my newly found love, the Ducati Multistrada 1200 (2013).
It's a base model without the latest Skyhook suspension technology, hence no DSS on the bike but the shocks are still adjustable manually. The all-new 2013 Multistrada (MTS) 1200 doesn't use Ohlins shocks anymore. Now Ducati installs Sachs shocks. Not sure of the change though. My guess is for riding comfort..coz Ohlins shocks, being high performance shocks, can be quite hard. I may be wrong.
Anyway, I got my MTS at a retail price of MYR89,990. It was a promotional price from Ducati Malaysia for the first 50 bikes after which, the MTS base models will be retailed at MYR95,000. Panniers and double stand don't come standard on MTS base models as opposed to the MTS 1200S models and higher. I bought my panniers separately for MYR3,600.00 and they are very useful! Except when going through between cars, I am still developing my confidence for it...haha. Ducati recommends a maximum speed of 180/kmh when you have the panniers on. I've done 190/kmh before and the panniers were still intact without any vibration whatsoever. Perhaps, I should try travelling at 200/kmh and see how it goes. Next, I need to save up for the double stand which will cost me MYR960.
Been riding it and already clocked 2250km on the mileage. It feels great and superior sometimes...ahaks! Really2 loving it ! The ABS system is smooth. I'm going to install MIVV Suono with link pipe bypassing the catalytic converter. Cant wait! As for now...let the good times roll !
