2013 Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Strong power output: 2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak makes 110.3 kW @ 9250 rpm with 124.5 Nm @ 7500rpm of torque - competitive figures for its class.
Fuel injection: The fuel injection injection system delivers crisp throttle response and reliable cold starts regardless of altitude or temperature.
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.

Owner Experiences & Common Issues

Throttle response and fuelling

The fuel injection on the 2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak is generally well-regarded. Some owners note a slight hesitation at small throttle openings when cold, which clears once the engine reaches operating temperature. A quick visual check of the injector connectors during routine servicing is good practice on higher-mileage examples.

Low-speed confidence

At 222 kg, the Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak is a substantial machine. New owners occasionally mention that slow-speed manoeuvring in car parks takes a little getting used to. Once moving, the weight disappears - but practising slow-speed exercises builds confidence quickly.

Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

When inspecting a used 2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak, start with the basics: check the service book for oil change frequency, inspect the chain and sprockets for wear, and look for oil seepage around the engine casings and rocker covers. A cold start test is invaluable - a well-maintained Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak 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 on any Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak. Stick to the manufacturer's interval - typically every 6,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. The sump holds 4.90 litres, so budget for that volume of quality motorcycle-specific engine oil. Always use the correct viscosity grade as specified in the owner's manual.

Fuel system care

The Multistrada 1200S Pikes Peak'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.
