You're right. The Multistrada 950 was also a V2, an engine shared with their Monster 950 and Hypermotard models. The new Multi V2 replaces it with some engine upgrades but mostly moving a lot of the upscale parts from their V4 over. Less expensive & more refined, lower weight, better ergonomics, etc. I believe they dropped the desmo valve system of the old 950 as well, meaning required maintenance is both cheaper and less frequent.

The V4 is sexy, very powerful, and has lots of cool stuff like the front/rear radar and R/L blindspot detection. And holy balls is a Streetfighter sexy; I was drooling over it when I first saw it at the International Motorcycle Show in Chicago the year it was introduced. That V4 engine is a beast. I almost bought a ST3 instead of my last BMW, so I'm not against Ducati but I just think BMW provides more compelling alternatives. F900XR/GS or R1250RS/GS vs Multistrada V2, S1000XR vs Multistrada V4, S1000R vs Streetfighter V4.
