  • Multistrada 2010 verses Multistrada 2012
2010 centre stand (modified, shorter lever arm). Note the top is different where you put your foot. Also the arm is bent, its straight on the 2012.
Finally, look at the angle bit on the left, its much bigger on the 2012 than the 2010 which makes it easier to get on the stand.

2010 riders Touring seat. The important thing with the seats is the difference in the locating peg on the bike.
The 2012 peg is much shorter with a flat top as it doesn't come right through the seat.....see next photo.

These are the 2010 touring seats, not the standard ones. Thing to look at is more pronounced hump for pillion. Also note overlap of seats compared to 2012 seats.

  • 2013 Pikes Peak -  the Ducati decal is on the top of the side piece - on my 2010 the name is below the crease line and is bigger.
Also note that some of the pikes peak pics show a gold pin stripe. This is not an original pikes peak, but a dressed up touring.
