Watch Ducati Assemble the New Multistrada 1200

When you think about the assembly process involved in making a motorcycle, it is pretty staggering. Not only do Ducati engineers have the task of making the best motorcycle possible, but they also need to design the machine to be easily built by the factory workers at Borgo Panigale.

Which parts should go on before the next? where a cable should be routed through the frame and bodywork? The planning that must go into building out an assembly line is certainly an undertaking I would not want to have.

So while the latest video from Ducati is perhaps not the most ouvertly entertaining, it is certainly impressive nonetheless to watch Italy’s finest assemblying a 2015 Ducati Multistrada 1200.

Note how much time is spent building the Testastretta DVT engine, versus the rest of the Multistrada 1200. That’s because the engine is one of the few things that Ducati still “builds” versus “assembles” on its bikes, with many OEM parts suppliers making the rest.
