Does anyone here happen to know the outside to outside distance of the front rotors on an multistrada 1100? Will regular 320mm ducati rotors work on a 748 front wheel? Someone wants to change wheels and I'm trying to help them with the brake change. Thanks.

AFAIK, all the common production bikes of that era shared rotors.
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

So long as the 748 isn't an R-model, it'll work just fine.  R models got a 15mm offset and all other late-model 6-bolt, 320mm rotors got 10mm.

Right.  But on the ST4, the rotor bolts to the wheel spokes, not the hub.  

edit: the bike I've been meaning is the multistrada 1100.

The MTS 1000 & 1100 have the only spoke-mounted rotors on them as far as I know.  They're specific to the larger air-cooled MTS bikes.  No other interchanges.

So are you effectively telling me that there's no easy swap?  A 748 wheel won't bolt up in terms of rotors lining up and other spacing issues?

Ahhh...  This is a wheel swap question.  I'm sorry that I mis-read it at first.  I can't confirm what would swap w/regard to that. 

My apologies, but I have nothing on that...  :-\

I would probably check on a multistrada forum since that's the bike you're talking about.

not blowing you off, but i would assume other mts owners have done wheel swaps before.
