As I previously mentioned I had the sad news today that JohnnyBoy who bought this from me earlier this year had passed away
His wife Susan asked my advice on how to best sell the bike so I suggested that I re advertise on her behalf (he also has a Silverwing I will advertise separately)
As you can imagine it is a very tough time for her so I am trying to ease the load she must have on her
I believe the bike is now located north of Edinburgh
Below is my original advert for Mutley, I know there were others interested in the bike
In the first instance PM me and I will discuss with Susan
I also have a few other videos of the details on the bike and the cam belt change that I did for John just ask and I will post them
Thanks Mike
MY ORIGINAL ADVERT
2003 Ducati Multistrada 1000DS – £1200 ono
With a heavy heart, I’m selling my much‑loved 2003 Ducati Multistrada 1000DS, affectionately known as Mutley. I’ve owned this bike for 8 years and it’s been utterly dependable, whether touring Europe or rorking round the welsh countryside
It’s taken me from Santander through France, spent two unforgettable weeks in the Picos de Europa, and has been my filming bike for onboard shots on my video channel (LDG).
The 1000DS Desmo Due engine is a superb real‑world powerplant with that classic elastic Ducati torque. It handles brilliantly — genuinely a backroad Ballerina.
Despite its err quirky looks, it has aged well and is now a pretty respectable‑looking machine (ish)
Staintune Exhausts (great quality and nice noise - see video)
Fresh cam belts
Valve check
Front forks stripped and refreshed with new oil
Rear shock professionally rebuilt with a new spring (set for 90kg rider) thanks Denzo
Recent front brake pads
Rear brake is shite — as they all are on these models
Few dodgy pixels on the screen (see the video)
Details:
34,000 miles (these engines regularly go well past 100k)
Comes with cbow luggage
Doesn't come with the Aoocci
Reliable, characterful, and great fun to ride
This is a great opportunity to pick up a sorted 1000DS that’s ready for many more adventures or could make a fantastic project bike, turn it into a street fighter
