THE name means "all roads" and now Ducati's Multistrada has proved it with an around-the-world journey.
It took 31-year-old Paolo Pirozzi, president of the Naples Ducati Dreams Club, 350 days to travel 100,000km over five continents on his Multistrada 1200 S, and eight sets of Pirelli tyres.
Pirozzi, who says his profession is "motorcyclist" has now clocked up more than 450,000km on his Bologna-made Ducati bikes.
The Multistrada 1200 features electronic engine management and suspension adjustment that makes the bike suitable for all road surfaces with the rider able to select between riding modes of Sport, Touring, Urban and Enduro.
Pirozzi's round-the-world trip began at World Ducati Week in Misano in June 2010 and ended at the racetrack of Imola at the end of May.
He visited 80 Ducati Owners Clubs around the world with one Moscow Ducatista becoming a travel companion for three weeks through Siberia. In Malaysia, Pirozzi rode around the Sepang track with his hero and three-time World Superbike champion, Troy Bayliss, of Australia where he also visited.
Paolo Pirozzi's dreams are not over yet and this intrepid traveller from Naples is already planning his next trip, which will take him to the magic half a million kilometres and the next World Ducati Week event in 2012.
