Lighter Sport-Touring Machine: Ducati Multistrada V2 S Road Tested in Australia

My image of the old Multistrada was heavy and hot. If it's gotten lighter I'll reconsider it.

Light and cheap to service is great for running costs, can it shake off the 'Ducati = expensive' image?

The V2 S looks great, there's a theory that the middleweight Multistrada is the best-balanced one.

Is it really true that servicing got cheaper on a Ducati adventure bike? That's the part I doubt most.

Output and torque carried over with a major weight cut, want the actual kilogram figure of what dropped.

The Multistrada V2 S getting lighter is righteous for a touring bike, if it can still carry luggage well that's ideal.
