Ducati Multistrada V2: from 2022, a versatile touring motorcycle
Ducati Multistrada V2 — from 2022, a mid-range touring motorcycle with a 937 cm³ twin-cylinder engine. We look at the versions, engine, and what to check when buying used.
Multistrada V2 in brief
The Multistrada V2 replaces the Multistrada 950 and offers a more accessible alternative to the larger Multistrada models. It’s a versatile touring motorcycle — perfect for the city, long trips, and daily commuting.
There aren’t many used examples around yet, as the model is quite new, so you’ll mostly find new ones or those a few years old.
Versions and choices
Two main versions are offered: V2 and V2 S. The V2 S comes with a higher-spec suspension and usually more kit, adding to the base version.
When choosing, pay attention not just to the version but also to the extras: often added are panniers, crash bars, or additional lights.
Engine and gearbox
The engine is a 937 cm³ 'Testastretta 11°' twin, meeting 'Euro 5' standards. Power is around 113 hp, with smooth and ample torque for touring with a pillion.
The gearbox is a 6-speed manual, with drive to the rear wheel via a chain. Standard kit includes ABS with cornering control, traction control, riding modes, and a TFT screen.
What to check when buying a used Multistrada V2
Since the motorcycle is new, the key thing is the service history and the status of the manufacturer’s warranty. Using the VIN, check that all recall or update work has been carried out.
Check the plastic parts, frame, and wheels for signs of corrosion. In the S version, inspect the suspension and electronic functions, and test all driving modes.
Check if the original accessories (cup holders, guards) are present and undamaged. Ask about the history and usage.
