Ducati North America will debut its latest model, the 2010 Ducati Multistrada 1200, in North America at the International Motorcycle Show in Long Beach, California December 4-6.

Shown for the first time just weeks ago at the EICMA Milan Motorcycle Show, the Multistrada 1200 was named "Most Beautiful Bike in Show" and hailed as a true ‘game-changing’ motorcycle. During the Long Beach show, motorcycle enthusiasts will see why the Ducati Multistrada 1200 is considered a marvel and four bikes in one.

Because of its unprecedented technology and class-leading features this new Ducati motorcycle is able to unleash four unique riding modes including Sport, Touring, Urban and Enduro, enabling the rider to enjoy a truly customizable riding experience. The power and torque delivery, suspension settings and traction control can be modified while riding this motorcycle to adapt to the rider’s needs, and not the other way around.
