Ride Review: 2014 Ducati Multistrada S
2014 KTM Multistrada S (demo ride) Finally got out on a test ride on the Duc….red of course, a S model with the large bags, top box (all removed for the test ride), crash bars & full Termignoni exhaust...surprisingly not over loud but likely too loud for touring, actually rather tame at idle but barks very nicely once on the gas. First thing that hits you is the seating position, the dished out seat limits you to one location that is very motard-like forcing you into what initially feels like too close to the tank/bars & an upright position, the bars are wide, almost too wide, leg room is good with pegs positioned a little farther rearward than my K1300GT, can’t flat foot with the std seat (4 different seats are available, but none are adjustable...I would opt for the touring seat which is a little higher, with less curve to it & either memory foam or gel, hopefully providing a little for & aft movement), the seat is firm, but unable to comment on comfort with just 40
