I have seen these, and similar road tests of "new" multistrada's, but woud like to know more about the longer term use of these machines. Preferably some anecdotal evidence ie : Has Ducati shrugged off the image of a great bike, when its working that is !!!

From the articles I have read and in talking to a few owners of these bikes they seem to hold up very well over the years. They have many good reports on cross county rides and are compared by many as a modern Harley since the dependability is comparative. Of course with anything there are exceptions. Can I guarantee that you will never have a problem with the Ducati Multistrada? That answer would be no. I and many others do consider it to be a very reliable bike based on ownership and experiences.

If this does not answer your question, do not accept this answer. Let me know, and well will continue until we get you an acceptable answer.

Yes, I did some basic research and spoke to a few owners and subsequently bought one. However they were all very low mileage, and we all seemed to be on the same point of the learning curve.I am trying to find an owner who has done some mileage, or similar magazine reports. Thanks

The Ducati Multistradas owners that I have talked to do not have low mileage bikes. One has made more than several cross country trips with no mechanical problems. That was my reasoning for my statement "They have many good reports on cross county rides and are compared by many as a modern Harley since the dependability is comparative.". Finding supportive documentation in magazine reports at this time is not possible as you may have already found out.
