IT'S DUCATI

TV Soap Star Jimi Harkishin, who plays the character Dev in Coronation Street, has joined a number of Ducati Manchester customers who have placed orders for the new Multistrada 1200.
Jimi dropped into the Manchester dealership during the recent Multistrada preview day where interested customers were given a chance for the first time to see the 1200cc bike up close and try it for size.
Jimi found time during a busy day filming to pop in to the Manchester dealership. He commented, ‘I had heard so much about this bike and was desperate to see it. I was a fan and owner of the last Multistrada and I knew this was the bike for me. I placed my order for a Multistrada touring there and then.’
The Corrie star was one of eight Ducati Manchester customers to put down deposits on the day. So far Ducati Manchester has taken deposits for thirty four Multistradas and obviously Ducati Manchester manager Chris Booth is delighted. ‘The interest in this bike has been amazing. Most of the deposits were taken even before we had the bike here and to take another eight on the preview day including Jimi’s is fantastic’.
The Multistrada 1200 is due to be released this spring and is one of the most highly anticipated bikes of 2010. The Multistrada is one of the most advanced road bikes ever produced utilizing a 150hp engine and has four different modes that can alter power output, suspension and traction control according to the type of conditions the rider encounters.

Rideout from the Store Sunday 24th - Meet at the Cafe next door for Breakfast around 10.30am depart 11.00am.

“We’re very lucky to have loyal customers, and this will offer a compromise to anyone who kept a Ducati ST or one of the Multistrada 1100’s.

“And we feel this is a great time to release the bike in the UK as there are people who own GS’s but are ready to move on to something different.”

The Ducati Multistrada 1200 will be available to buy in the UK in the Spring with deliveries expected in late March early April time.
