Ducati has sent us pics and info on the new Multistrada 1200 S Pikes Peak Special Edition, an eye-catching machine designed to celebrate Greg Tracy's victory in the 2010 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb race in Colorado, US. Or if not to celebrate the victory, at least to make some money out of it - and why not?
For £16,750 you'll get a Ducati Corse-style paint scheme with passenger foot-peg hangers and engine guard anodised in black finish, plus natty red pin-striping on the wheels. In addition to the original equipment silencer and screen, the Pikes Peak Special Edition arrives with an EU approved Ducati Performance carbon fibre silencer by Termignoni and a race-derived low screen in carbon fibre. A Ducati Performance carbon fibre front mudguard, and custom made seat detailed with red stitching complete the enhanced spec.
PH bikers will know (presumably) that the Multistrada features Sport, Touring, Urban and Enduro Riding Modes, all selectable by the simple click of a button to 'instantly transform the Multistrada's suspension, power output and traction control settings electronically'.
So pleased is Ducati to have clinched the win last year, that it's fielding Greg Tracy and Alexander Smith at the 'Race to the Clouds' again this year. Preparations are already underway for the title defence in June, we're told.
Meanwhile the new Multistrada 1200 S Pikes Peak Special Edition will be available from May.
(NB. 'Yonah' will return shortly to PH2, once we've done arm-wrestling his agent over the insurance value of our star contributor's saggy old leather-clad arse... Ed.)
