For one reason or another, there aren’t many
white motorcycles out there, save of course
for the occasional police bike and such.
Overall, bike makers steer clear of white, but
over the course of just two weeks, the Italians
from Ducati released two new liveries based
on this non-color.
The first one, called White Rosso, was introduced
at the beginning of July for the Panigale V2, and
now comes the second, GP White, meant for the
new Multistrada 950 S.
Just like the V2, the Italian all-rounder will not be
of course all white, but will mix it with grey and
the Ducati Red to create an effect of “elegance,
fluidity and balance of lines.” We don’t know
about that, but we think it looks cool, and we
don’t even like white all that much, especially
considering how it was inspired by Ducati’s
exploits in MotoGP.
Other than the addition of the new paint
scheme, which should become available at
dealers starting this month, there haven’t been
that many changes made to the stock 950.
The bike is powered by the 937cc Testastretta
11 engine good for 113 hp and 96 Nm of torque–
the unit will be Euro 5 compliant starting with
the 2021 model year – and comes packed with
features like electronic suspension, full-LED
headlamp, 5-inch color TFT display, and Bosch
ABS cornering.
The Multistrada line of V-twin motorcycles was
born in the Italian stables in 2003 as a mostly
road-going machine. Over the years, it had many
incarnations, with the current offering counting 8
models, ranging from the entry-level 950 to the
range topping 1260 Enduro.
