Based on the first-generation Ducati Multistrada, the Pit Lane Moto CR.02.26 “Desmo Corridore Caffè” reinterprets one of Ducati’s most polarising designs. Beneath its unconventional styling, the original Multistrada hid serious sporting DNA — a lightweight trellis frame, Öhlins suspension, and air-cooled Desmo twin.

This build strips the concept back to its essence and reframes it as a modern-retro café racer, inspired by classic Italian design and underpinned by contemporary engineering. The frame, engine, suspension, swingarm and wheels are retained from a 2005 Multistrada 1000S DS, preserving its performance and handling pedigree.

A heavily modified rear subframe supports a hand-formed metal cowl, while a Ducati 749 fuel tank has been re-engineered to accept the Multistrada fuel pump. Fully custom seat, air intake and exhaust systems, Motogadget electronics and a Koso LED headlight complete the build.

Desmo Corridore Caffè represents Pit Lane Moto’s vision of what a modern classic Italian café racer should be — timeless in form, engineered for the road, and unmistakably Ducati.
