What do you think of the Ducati Multistrada 950 and do you agree with our verdict? Tell us in the comments below.

Visordown Motorcycle Reviews: Is Ducati's new Multistrada 950 the firm's most accessible all-rounder yet? We think so.

Just because it’s the smallest capacity Multistrada, don’t go thinking that it’s anything like a lesser bike – it’s got a suite of electronics, a crisp info-packed monochrome LCD dash screen derived from the 1200 (that moved around with the lightest of touches), plus fully adjustable suspension at both ends. And if course it looks every bit like it should thanks to the subframe, trellis frame and styling including that beak-y front end (if not the entirety of its bodywork), that it shares with the bigger 1200.

Its geometry is the same too – a good blend of ‘sporting Ducati values and comfort’, says Ducati and I’m inclined to agree. The double-sided swingarm is derived from the unit on the Multistrada 1200 Enduro and means you can fit the accessory spoked wheels if you’re keen enough to take the 950, with its not-that-great ground clearance, on an off-road expedition, where you'll soon be testing the techno-polymer sump guard.

The high-exit silencer is from the Enduro too, although the rest of the exhaust system is unique to this bike. The cast alloy 19 inch front wheel also gives the 950 a bit more in common with the Enduro.

The seat is unique to the 950 and is 840mm high - the lowest in the Multistrada range. I’m 5ft 7” and had to shuffle half an arse cheek off the seat to get a foot flat on the floor but it’s not something that put me off (looking decidely ungainly when paddling it about is more likely to do that) because the balance of the bike is so right and at 204kg dry (or 229kg wet with the 20 litre tank 90% full), its weight is easily manageable.
