Great video - about to buy a 2005 model near Zwolle (unfortunately the dealership does not have the service history as it was a trade-in, which is concerning). Would you mind sharing where in the Netherlands you're riding in this video? Roads look twisty and fun for NL!
Leuk om te horen Patrick. Als je gaat voor een eerste generatie (1000) is mijn tip, kijk of je kan achterhalen of de klepgeleiders ooit vervangen zijn (zwak punt en bekend probleem). Ik heb deze na ongeveer 8 maanden moeten laten vervangen wat een kostbaar verhaal is. Oh, en goed op slot zetten (mijn Multi is 2 weken terug gestolen)!
I'm about to buy a secondhand Multistrada also 2003 model. Seems in a good condition. Don't know a lot about bikes and maintenance. But from all the short research I did seems I'll go for it. Price is 3000euro about 45000 km
OverSpeed awesome! Sounds like a good deal too. Piece of advice though, ask if the valve guides were replaced. The original ones are weak. Mine failed at 24k.
Good review, thanks. Just got a mint 2006 1000 ds in grey/silver which is just a beautiful machine and am loving it. I know it's a while since you posted this but it would be good if you could give a link to the guy in the USA who made the crash bars and belly pans for this bike.
leuk hoor, alleen deze fiets is niet gemaakt om /voor 80 km/u te rijden. jij gaat well zachtig mee om. fijne. b.t.w ik ga ook 80 op mijn gsrxg bedankt voor jouw meening, ik ben van plan om zoeen te aanschrafen. merci.
Mike H It is. Maintenance interval for the older models is short. Besides that, within 6 months they had to replace the valve guides on my engine which was quite expensive. It only had 24k on it at the time.
Spoke to a mechanic. its a big job. need to disassemble the engine to do the valve guides, thats going to be expensive. I will definitely talk to the dealer and get an idea for the cost.
Mike H wise choice. I do believe Ducati once offered the option to replace the weak valve guides under warrantee / recall. If this was done you're probably fine. If not...
Hi, thanks for the video, and very helpful comments. You mentioned that the bike is noisy, is it only on idle due to the dry clutch, or its also noisy when riding it, at least on your video it does nor seem noisy and it has a nice purring sound.? How it compares in this respect with your previous Kawa and Pegaso? I’m unfortunately progressing towards getting tinnitus, so very concerns about noise levels (i’m also considering buying multi 1 or 1.1 k) Thanks!
Hi Vuk! The noise is partly due to the dry clutch, but the entire engine has quite a mechanical noise to it. With the stock exhaust it's not really loud, but it isn't your typical honda either. Can't really offer you any advice regarding the noise-levels with tinnitus except voor earplugs and a decent testride to find out for yourself. When you do get an early model 1000ds, I'd opt for higher screen. I bought the MRA spoiler screen, which was a major improvement.
Thanks for your review it was really helpful

It's around Arnhem,second part of the video is on the Posbank.
@@motopreneur8058 thank you!
Bedankt!! Deze video heeft voor mij de knoop doorgehakt. Geen ST2 maar een multistrada.

I'll see if I can find the links for you.
@@motopreneur8058 that would be appreciated, thank you.
Great video, are you still riding this?
At 4:49 did that Bus go through a RED light? What is up with that?
Nope, separate traffic light, you can see it just after he leaves at the right.
Good to know. I thought Buses were like cop cars over there. Cops go through lights when they want to..
Leuke review, en een bekende omgeving voor mij (als ex-Arnhemmer) ;)

b.t.w ik ga ook 80 op mijn gsrxg

Cool, ik heb ook een Multistrada 1000ds in Arnhem. Rood met zwarte velgen 👋🏻
Toevallig die regelmatig in het centrum staat?
Motopreneur nee ik heb ‘m pas net en staat altijd droog en veilig :)
Weet jij toevallig of de klepgeleiders op de 1100 Multistrada ook snel vv moeten worden?
Eerlijk gezegd niet, sorry
hello, where do you get parts for the bike?
Danny Cabrera online or from the Ducati Dealership.
Hows the maintenance on this bike. I m thinking to get one too. but i heard its expensive.
Mike H It is. Maintenance interval for the older models is short. Besides that, within 6 months they had to replace the valve guides on my engine which was quite expensive. It only had 24k on it at the time.
Mike H but yes, I'd still buy one 😉
