==========================================
2005 Ducati Multistrada 1000 S
$3700.
This Multistrada is an air-cooled 1000cc twin, fuel injected, with 6-speed transmission, that delivers broad power for all kinds of riding, around town, back roads, to fast highway touring. Adult-owned, second owner, I bought it from Seacoast Sport Cycle (Derry NH) November 2016 with 9K miles on it. Now has 23K miles. This is the top-of-the line "S" model with fully adjustable Ohlins suspension front and rear, and that unmistakable Pierre Terblanche design. Lots of storage space with the OEM Ducati hard cases (cases hold full coverage helmets and then some), Ducati luggage rack, tank cover and tank bag, and there's a storage pod in the right side fairing. You can also remove the hard bags and their mounting racks for more of a sport bike appearance and experience. LED headlight and taillight upgrades. Custom seat work was done by the first owner, with improved padding and seat cover. Tires are good (Dunlop RoadSmart III), good Yuasa battery, DID "Gold" chain, and sprockets are good to go. Other updates since I've owned it include: Yoyodyne clutch cylinder, rear brake cylinder, rear brake pads, fork seals, and full service and dyno tune two years ago by Eric Colbath (Clubhouse Motorsports, Moultonborough NH). Recent oil & filter change. Starts and runs great, the bike has excellent handling and Brembo brakes. You can find all the tech info you need and helpful community at ducati.ms and multistrada.net. A pleasure to ride, never crashed or tipped over, the bike has always started and has never let me down or stranded me. Original tool kit, second key, and owner's handbook included. Receipts available. Title in hand. (Arlington MA)
