The Multistrada is a model of motorcycle introduced by Ducati in 2003. The word Multistrada is Italian for "many roads" as the bike is designed to handle asphalt and dirt road riding with equal agility. Essentially the bike is a hybrid of a Supermoto and a Sport Touring bike. Its upright riding position gives it a stronger appeal for those who like touring but want something smaller than a touring bike. Designed by Ducati's head designer Pierre Terblanche as an evolution to Tereblanche's previous design the Cagiva Gran Canyon, the Multistrada has always received mixed reviews for its aesthetics. One magazine reviewer said the bike looked like a "wet cat with a large forehead". The Multistrada's most impressive technological advancement was the fuel tank that runs all the way to the rear of the back seat. The bike inspired the Ducati sponsored Centopassi "Competitive Motorcycle Adventure" in Italy in July 2003.

The Multistrada competes in the same niche market as do other multi purpose motorcycles such as the BMW GS, but even according to the owners manual the Multistrada is not intended for off-road use despite its off-road inspired design. The Multistrada is much lighter, more responsive and has better handling manners than most of the bikes in the same genre, such as the Suzuki DL1000 V-Strom and KTM Adventure due to many of the Ducati's race-track components such as the Brembo Brakes and extremely light 17 inch wheels. In 2007 Triumph released the 1050 cc Tiger, which has become the only bike to directly compete with the Multistrada.
