As you all know I'm not a big adventure bike guy BUT this bike has actually changed the way I feel about them. So easy to ride, super comfortable and just an overall joy to ride. If you're in the market for an adventure/touring bike you should definitely take out one of these! What do you guys think of the new Multistrada V4?

[@niputhapa01]

Want a video with a R1 or the Fireblade man

[@Whoahandle]

Nah man, get the Harley Pan America

[@AJpro88]

make it the new build series and turn it into a superbike killer

[@hoodooguru5217]

Got mine on order, a red V4S with cast wheels. Amazing bike that checks SO many boxes- performance, comfort, safety tech, etc. I’d bet there will even be a few Streetfighter & Panigale converts to this bike given its strong enough performance combined with much better comfort and more features (adaptive cruise control, amazing UI, etc). Glad you enjoyed it for what this bike is (and is not). 👍

[@AundR]

I have heard that the Multistrada would be a new bike build?

[@tomm_m_m6378]

My dad just bought one , me and him are doing a ride through Europe in may starting in France all the way down to Sicily him on the Multi me on the Superduke .. cant wait

[@lki5678]

I can recommend the road from Sorrento to Positano if you're doing that side of Italy, best road I ever rode.

[@JaretCampisi]

that sounds amazing! Have fun guys!

1260 Pikes Peak single swing arm. 1260 Enduro double swing arm. So theres your answer :). The new V4 Multi just perfected what the Italians had on the previous Multis. I moved from a sport bike to the Multistrada. Never looked back.

[@kickgrimminck9318]

I had a multistrada 1260 and now a V4S and it drives so much better. Now also with a full exhaust I think it's the best adventure bike there is

[@johnrobertson1808]

Perfect bike for touring northern Canada and Alaska. ✌🇨🇦

[@keithkeller6509]

After putting over 50,000 miles on my 1200S Touring Multistrada I traded it in on a new V4S Multistrada. It’s an awesome machine.

[@gospeltractslove]

I like how you review it with a blank slate, sharing your first impressions for the first time and how it makes you feel, this helps us potential buyers, thanks!

[@golferchin76]

When I had the previous gen Street Fighter S, I had the chance to get on the previous gen MTS Enduro (with street tires). Same feeling, it felt like a lot of bike under me, but strangely it handles just as agile as naked, and give it throttle I giggled. It felt strange. I could barely hear the exhaust and I almost couldn't feel the V twin engine vibration, but it rips ! And because it's very tall, My head was a lot taller than most cars on the highway, I felt like siting on a speeding sofa on a magic carpet. Very soon I sold my SF S and got a used MTS 1260S for group rides. I am thrilled for this all new Multistrada. Great video man.

[@lorentzinvariant7348]

I would argue, the reason that thing is so flickable is the counter rotating crankshaft. Reversing the angular momentum within the engine will really change the way the bike changes direction. Great review btw!

[@Hugo_WP]

It’s way easier than the Panigale due to the wide handlebar. The new Multistrada V4 is certainly a great bike 🔥 BUT I still prefer the look on the previous model, this one looks way more off-road than sport touring.

[@markhyoutube]

What a brilliant bike! I own an S1000XR, so a similar style of bike. I used to own various nakeds, such as the s1000R and moved to this style as they are so comfortable, very capable and love the commanding riding position!

[@JMeyer-qj1pv]

This type of bike does seem big at first, but after you ride it for a while, other bikes start to feel like small toys

[@JaretCampisi]

haha yeah I could definitely see that

[@karunnagraj8249]

@18:30 the multi is easier to maneuver than a monster, it's a better daily commuter too, it's the best overall bike imo

[@RichDunn]

Nice review. The engine is not the same; as well as not being desmo and of a different tune, as you mention, it's also a larger capacity too. The single-sided swingarm is pretty, but adds more unsprung weight and doesn't handle torsional twisting so well, which is why moto-gp bikes still use dual-arms. I have a Streetfighter V4S, R1250GSA and a Multistrada V4S Full on order. I've ridden it, and I think it's an exceptional 'road' bike. IMPO the first bike to be a better mouse-trap than the GSA. The Streetfighter is much more raw/violent in its delivery, but the Multistrada has superb ride quality (which is why the speed is deceptive) and the extra smoothness is exceptional. The longer valve check service intervals are a game-changer for the typical buyer of this bike. IMHO I think it'll be the motorcycle of the year. Buy one and do your usual stuff to it, so I'll know what works and doesn't! 😀

[@ducatiadventures7230]

Great review as always !! I would like to mention that thanks to your 2020 MS 950S off road ride video last year I bought mine Multistrada and what a great decision.. Thank you buddy ! Well this video is no different it makes me wanna buy the new one too 😉 I hope you are going to take the new one off road too... or maybe better not 😁

[@Firestorm637]

I raced 2 strokes in the 60’s and 70’s. So nice to have a non top heavy bike less than 200 pounds. I like my naked bike for the street and 2 stroke for the dirt. All the car tech finally moving to bikes like stability control with IMU and Adaptive cruise control/blind spot

[@NiklasAdv]

"i'm destroying everyone on my flying sofa" Best quote of 2021!

[@aurorajones8481]

Ill snap a pic of my new V4S and post that quote. LOL so true.

[@paulmccloskey7287]

Nice review Jared. It has a backwards spinning crank that counteracts the gyro effect of the wheels thus making it easier to change direction.

[@allanapplin250]

I think why you felt like you could lean it over super easy is because the suspension in it has such longer travel and is much smoother than a sports bike. So you don't feel the bumps as much and feel more "planted" on the road. My mate bought an Adventure bike and he now goes around corners faster than when he had his naked road bike!!! And I have since bought one and feel the same as you did. It was totally unexpected but is awesome!

[@geoffreyhammett7038]

Same as you, not my kind of bike but you gotta marvel at the lastest technology these days on motorcycles...Great vid! 😎🇬🇧

[@raypetrocelli595]

Just waiting for my dealership to get mine in, should be soon & weather is getting better

[@ComputerGeekOnTwoWheels]

Yeah, this bike is really cool for commuting and adventure riding. I remember seeing a "Dunn Edition" Multistrada 3-4 years ago and it had a lower set seating with many upgrades. At that time, I didn't know who Dunn was but the bike was really bad ass. The Dunn Edition had a better feel and had a price tag about $8000 more that the normal version.

[@JaretCampisi]

yeah they do something similar with the Pikes Peak edition now which is a nice tribute to Carlin

[@aurorajones8481]

19:04 I traded my 20 V4S Pen for the 21 V4S Multi... what you speak of is due to it being tall. The pocket rockets we ride are lower to the ground making it more difficult to fight the force keeping us upright! You bright height into the equation and it makes for an easier tip in. Combine that with Ducati magic and you have what you have.

[@gix40]

Finally you did it a Multi. Love mine I used to be the same way until I bought one. I have purchased many different sport bike in my past. 1200 1260's look way better. Never buy the first year model of anything complete new design. Test dummy for sure, but I still love the technology they are implementing. Jaret trick out a 1260 and give it away.

[@nicholaschai4458]

Thank you Jaret....great video...🤜🏼🤛🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Cisco3314]

That is a very cool bike. Thank you for sharing your review definitely. I will buy one.

[@JpOcDenver]

I own a 2013 multi. So far, the only negative to this bike is the fuel tank/range. A full exhaust and up map will help the fuel mileage. I just put $1,000 into my Multistrada: routine stuff, plus a shock rebuild (race-tech is the only place I found that will do it. Ducati will not) and I finally have a properly weighted spring. So I’ll be sticking with my ’13 for a few more years. But after that, i’m 90% sure this will replace it, unless it gets updated again before 2024. This bike is a masterpiece. Edit: also this isn’t the lightest Multistrada. It’s heavier than the 1260. The engine and chassis are lighter. The bike overall is heavier.

[@smilinjoe23]

How's the comfort compared to the diavel 1260 for commuting to work? Im thinking of trading it in for the multistrada, since i used it more for daily commute than hitting the twisties on the weekend.

[@constantinosjensen9052]

Awesome Videos dude! I love watching them, you mentioned in a video earlier that you have some big news coming! Is that still on it’s way? :)

[@trose_49]

I live my Multi. Not sure about the 950 but the 1200 and 1260 also have that very nimble feeling it’s pretty impressive for such a big bike.

[@nateyzf]

[@JaretCampisi]

thanks glad you enjoyed it!

This would be a nice bike to go on a road trip with

Pikes Peak edition of the V4 is due end of 2021, single-sided swing-arm and 17” front wheel and a PP paint job!, so hopefully that’ll sort all of your complaints/observations! 👌👌

The multi v4s is my first non sports bike and I am loving it, I live north of Sydney (aus) and on the back roads here I can ride fast on the multi than I can on my 1198SP

Hey, I have been always a Ducati sportbike rider and never saw myself on one of this, in the middle of a long ride with friends I asked one of them to let me try his multi, I went back home and begin looking for one, now I have one and I love it I juat to laugh like you are now 🤣🤣but believe me you will felt in love with it, not that I don't love my Panigale V4s, specifically after you turn 50 year old 🤣🤣🤣

[@niccoloangioni5656]

I’ve never heard hitherto someone speaking of bikes, relate to the lord of rings ahahah. I’ve grasp a great feel by your video about the multiV4; just I’m longing to see you trying the new Aprilia rsv4 2021. I’m curious to know what can be your feels about that other Italian bike

[@scobeno1911]

Any chance you could do a review on the Hypermotard. Would value your opinion..

[@HaussmannRider]

This is what i need. I ride in Paris on a Ducati Monster 821 everyday, and driving on cobblestones everyday... is a pain in the BIIIIP

[@upperdarbyriders]

suspension seems great

[@laurentpochon9599]

I own a streetfighter v4s and tested the multistrada last week, I was shocked. I like it so much. I agree with many of your comments, but after riding this bike I feel like my streetfighter is only good to ride it really hard. I think you should try it more and would have use for it. As I already have a gsxr1000r I consider replacing my streetfighter that I like a lot by the multistrada. It is that good

[@JaretCampisi]

I'd keep the streetfighter and replace the GSXR :)

[@red.riot.2280]

I’m really digging this bike!…. But. I’d rather have a street fighter with bags and more upright position. I’ll wait to see if the next gen mt10 will offer some sort of tracer option.

You should test the KTM 1290 Adventure S as well. 160hp/144Nm torque, And a guess a little lighter. Big V2 “sports Adventure bike”

My bike is a 2007 Kawasaki vulcan 2000, it weighs over 850lbs. Heavy bikes feel more balanced at high speeds and turns pretty easily.

Hi guys .. I wanted to let you know that in Italy the new evolution in the Ducati Monster brand has been released which is lighter having its typical frame (which has aroused the criticism of fond of this model) which is lighter slightly lower in the seat!

[@mdf1951]

Have you ever been up Pikes Peak? I give my hat off to anyone that has ripped up that. I drove a car up there at very slow speeds and that can make you feel very uncomfortable, because your not used to the altitude . I could only image going as fast as you could going up that mountain. The physical strain on your body has to be off the charts.

Flying couch. Love it!

[@jakehopt]

I've always ridden more leaned over street bikes; like a CBR-1000RR, Kawasaki ZX-14R, KTM RC390, and now I have the most upright & comfortable bike I've ever owned the Indian FTR 1200.. so I can totally get the appeal of these. Especially now that they're getting MORE powerful and MORE comfortable and have MORE creature comforts like that awesome 6.5" TFT matte display, the sweet ass heated seats, heated grips as standard, plus that wild ass Radar-Guided Cruise Control. The most important thing in my opinion is the fact that it has 170 HP, on top of some of the best service intervals in Ducati's history. I totally get it; my only real complaint is the price lol, and that's only because I can't afford one, not because Ducati is too pricey. I think when it comes to value/horsepower the Ducati's in general now a days especially are decent deals.

[@JaretCampisi]

yeah thats a good point the price is really the only drawback BUT it's not like its a bad deal, its just a lot of bike that is going to cost a lot of money. I like the direction ducati is heading and I really enjoyed this bike.

[@electric7487]

One other complaint that I have with this bike is the sound, because it sounds like a twin despite being a 4 cylinder. I simulated the firing intervals (90°, 200°, 90°, 340°) in a metronome app I found on F-droid and based on what I heard I really expected the bike to sound much more different. A company called Motus made a 1650cc pushrod V4 called the MV4 that fires in exactly the same manner except that the firing order is 4-3-2-1 instead of 1-2-3-4 and the firing intervals are 90°, 195°, 90°, 345°. There's a video of one of those MV4's powering a Polaris SXS and I really love how rough and aggressive it sounded. I just wish some other company could buy Motus (as they're no longer in business), change the pushrods to SOHC, push the max HP numbers to 200 at 6000 to 7200 RPM, and put it in a production SXS. Maybe with four mini superchargers (one for each cylinder), turbo, and all equal length headers that engine might be able to get to 250 HP.

[@rammyify]

Ducati has upped and changed it's game by leaps and bounds. Gone are those days of twitchy engine pulls and bad quality. Jaret, go on a short bike trip on this bike with a group, it might change your opinion on long rides😉😉

[@cmaz8547]

I would love to see you compare the v2 pikes peak to the new v4.......sounds like you would have another blast! Cheers

[@lowlandrides3732]

You said this multi is the lightest theyve ever build, but thats not true. Its definitely lighter than the 1200/1260 enduro version, but the pre 2015 1200 models were very light for adventure motorcycles. Hence why people are saying this one is more an "adventure" bike and the older ones were more tall sportbikes. Ive test ridden one but ill keep my 2013 model, it just feels much more aggressive and fun to me.

Ducati only started using a single-sided swingarm on the 916. They gave it up for the 999, but returned to it in some later models. A single-sided swingarm is certainly not necessary to be a Ducati.
