My childhood dream, my beautiful adventure tourer: Ducati Multistrada

Bike is doing well. One unique thing about Multi is it takes quite a lot of time to cool down once you turn off the engine due to V twin layout(IMO).

5000 kms up!

With Pune as hot as some North Indian cities this summer, squeezing riding opportunities is as difficult as teaching traffic sense to most of our people.

First major milestone.. came at its own pace

Bike is doing well. One unique thing about Multi is it takes quite a lot of time to cool down once you turn off the engine due to V twin layout(IMO). The rear cylinder has not much space to dissipate heat and takes it own sweet time to chill. This was much better in my Triple.

I suppose in-line engines will fare better in this regard as compared to V2 and V4’s.

I planned a ride specifically to clock 5k kms. However, miscalculated some distance and reached home with 4 kms still left for milestone

This is supposed to be Morbe lake view point! Only problem - there is no lake 

Joined the Ducati group ride today. They kept a joint event today for Mumbai-Pune Ducati owners at Radisson Blu, Lonavla.

Turnout was huge, might be around 120-150 owners joined overall, despite the sweltering heat. Breakfast and a T-shirt was provided complimentary.

Few random pics.

2024 variant of various bikes were unveiled namely, Hypermotard, DesertX, Panigale V2 and Streetfighter V4.

Panigale V2 with Multistrada V2 like sticker

I am still taking bike out once in 2-3 weeks to keep at least the battery charged 

Happy miles!
