2014 Ducati Multistrada 1200 Overview

The 2014 Ducati Multistrada 1200 is an enduro / off-road motorcycle built around 1198.4 cc of displacement. Under the tank sits a Four stroke, 90° °L° twin cylinder, DOHC, desmodromic 4 valves per cylinder engine, a compression ratio of 11.5:1. 2014 Ducati Multistrada 1200 delivers 110.3 kW @ 9250 rpm of peak power and 124.5 Nm @ 7500rpm of torque. From a practical standpoint, the 2014 Multistrada 1200 tips the scales at 234 kg, carries a 20-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 850 mm and spans a 1530mm wheelbase. That's roughly 64.3 kg heavier than the average enduro / off-road motorcycle in our database.

2014 Ducati Multistrada 1200 compared with other bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category

Here is how the 2014 Ducati Multistrada 1200 stacks up against other bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category in our database. Each model counts once, using the model year closest to this one, and the comparison covers up to 1434 models.

Engine displacement of 1198 cc is larger than that of 1382 of the other 1433 bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category.
Only 30 of the other 799 bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category have a higher power output than the 110.3 kW of the Multistrada 1200.
With 471 W/kg, the Multistrada 1200 has the joint 18th highest power-to-weight ratio of 434 bikes in the Enduro / Off-Road category, 97% above the category average of 240 W/kg.
Narrowing the field to the 485 models within five model years of it, the engine displacement of 1198 cc is larger than that of 449 of the other 484.

Versus the 2013 model

Compared with the 2013 model, wet weight increased from 217 kg to 234 kg (+17 kg). Peak power, peak torque, displacement and seat height are unchanged.

2014 Multistrada 1200 - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Strong power output: 2014 Ducati Multistrada 1200 makes 110.3 kW @ 9250 rpm with 124.5 Nm @ 7500rpm of torque - competitive figures for its class.
Fuel injection: The Mitsubishi electronic fuel injection system system delivers crisp throttle response and reliable cold starts regardless of altitude or temperature.
Strong front braking: The disc front brake gives excellent stopping power and responds well to aftermarket braided lines.
ABS fitted: Anti-lock braking is standard, adding a real margin of safety on wet roads or in an emergency stop.
Large fuel range: The 20-litre tank is generously sized, translating to extended range between stops - ideal for touring or longer commutes.

Considerations

Tall seat height: The 850 mm seat height will challenge shorter riders - tiptoeing at low speeds is something to factor into your decision.
Chain final drive upkeep: Chain final drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get full life out of the sprockets.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Cooling system servicing

The Liquid cooled system on the Multistrada 1200 needs a coolant change roughly every two years (or per the service schedule) - skipping it lets the coolant turn acidic and corrode the aluminium water passages over time.

Fuelling & injector care

Fuelling comes from Mitsubishi electronic fuel injection system. Systems like this are largely maintenance-free beyond keeping fuel quality decent and injectors clear - a fuel-system cleaner every service interval is cheap insurance.

Brake disc and pad wear

The disc front brake gives strong, progressive stopping power. Disc thickness and pad depth are worth checking at every tyre change, since worn pads can score the disc surface.

Suspension condition on used examples

Up front, the Multistrada 1200 runs Marzocchi 50 mm fully adjustable USD forks and Progressive linkage with fully adjustable Sachs monoshock. Aluminium single-sided swingarm at the rear. On a used example, check fork seals for weeping oil and test the rear linkage for play - seals are a relatively cheap fix but useful when negotiating price.

Final drive maintenance

Final drive is by chain - expect to clean and lube it every few hundred kilometres and check tension regularly; a neglected chain wears the sprockets faster than the chain itself.

Frame & chassis check

The frame is Tubular steel trellis frame - worth a visual check for corrosion or impact damage around the head-stock and swingarm pivot on any used example, since frame damage is far costlier to fix than any service item.

Handling the weight at a standstill

At 234 kg, the Multistrada 1200 is a substantial machine - low-speed manoeuvring in car parks takes more physical effort than on a lighter bike, though the weight disappears once rolling.

Multistrada 1200 - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

When inspecting a used 2014 Ducati Multistrada 1200 with its 1198.4 cc enduro / off-road, start with the basics: check the service book for oil change frequency, inspect the drivetrain for wear, and look for oil seepage around the engine casings and rocker covers. This model runs chain final drive, so check chain slack and sprocket tooth profile specifically - a worn sprocket is a cheaper fix now than after it's chewed up the next chain. Now 12 years old, this enduro / off-road is as likely to show age-related wear (perished rubber, seized fasteners, degraded seals) as mileage-related wear. A cold start test is invaluable - a well-maintained Multistrada 1200 should fire up cleanly and settle to a smooth idle within a few seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Regular oil changes are the single most important maintenance task for the Multistrada 1200's 1198.4 cc four stroke, 90° °l° twin cylinder, dohc, desmodromic 4 valves per cylinder. Stick to the manufacturer's interval - typically every 6,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. With an 11.5:1 compression ratio, running the octane grade specified in the manual matters more than on a lower-compression engine. Always use the correct viscosity grade as specified in the owner's manual.

Fuel system care

The Multistrada 1200's fuel injection system is durable but benefits from quality fuel and the occasional use of a fuel-system cleaner additive. If the bike has been stored for more than three months, drain and replace the fuel to prevent varnish deposits in the injectors.
