Wanna buy » WTB Multi 1000ds/s

[koucki]

I am interested in purchasing a Multistrada 1000ds or 1100s.

I currently have a Ducati 1000 SportClassic Biposto looking to sell or trade with a Multi. You can see it in the classified section at Ducati.MS
Here's the link:

Let me know if you have any for sale, or interested in a trade.

Many Thanks,

Just for what its worth, i would still go with the 1000S DS, just because it doesn't have the closed loop fuel injection (no Lambda Sensor) and can be easily outfitted with a Power Card (what i have) or a Power Commander (which i despise, but it still works) if you get a some slipons, cat-eliminator, or a full system.

I rode both on the same day, and many people might disagree with me, but i really didn't feel any power advantage that 1100 supposed to have over the 1000DS... honestly.

Maybe because the 1000DS that i rode had a full exhaust and the 1100S was bone stock..? Not sure... Still, 1100 does feel like it has some more torque though. But its negligible in my opinion. I think the only "real advantage" that 1100 has over 1000DS is that Ducati apparently solved the Fuel level readout issue that pre-2007 had had....

Thanks Dave!!

Yeah! I can't believe that between Dave, Chris, you, and myself we might actually end up as an all-Multistrada "crew" LOL

Very interested in your comments as I have a 2005 DS1000 and have been lusting after a later model 1100S.

In your opinion, does the later model have better fuel economy because of the closed-loop system? What are your thoughts on dry-clutch versus wet-clutch?

Any other gems of wisdom regarding why you would (or wouldn't) change?

Thanks, Steve (New Zealand)

the biggest reasons why I went with an 1100 was
1. solved the valve guide issue
2. Longer service intervals.

I regret not having a dry clutch, not sure if wet is really better, but dry certainly sounds different.
I cant see anyone feeling the difference in hp over only 100cc

I wish he was trading his K1200R or 07 RWB VFR800 for a multi...I would be all over that

Hi! I may have a 06 mts 1000ds for sale. It's red and in excellent condition. All service is up to date and was done at the dealer. Also has a new tank due to the warping that some ducs have. Rubber is new. Has 42k with 95% of it being hwy kms. I'm open to offers. Can send photos.

I wouldn't bail on a 1000DS just to get a 1100. Not enough difference to make it worth swapping bikes. As long as your valve guides are good they are pretty bullet proof engines and will run a long time. There is a member here with 115,000 miles on his.

As far as the longer service intervals on the newer bikes it's all marketing. The shims & keepers are all the same parts. If you (or your mechanic) adjust the valves on the tighter end of the spectrum, longer intervals will be no problem.

I get 50mpg (longer rides) or 45mpg (around town) with my 05 1000DS
with exhuast/open airbox/ power commander.

For the original poster, the Multi will be much more comfortable than you current ride, yet slightly less attactive
