[@markkitaoka8783]

Thanks for your views. As a former road/motocross/desert racer and road race instructor I so much appreciate this bike. I purchased mine in September 2022 and will be writing an owner's review of my experience and impressions for Web Bike World. My editor gets bothered by some of the titles I use for my reviews. I'm hoping he approves "The Best Motorcycle for Full-Figured Senior Citizens" so cross your fingers for me. 😄 It really is just the right bike for me.

[@IanTed]

Tried one, loved it but it’s too expensive and too thirsty, so I tried the V2S. It’s lower, lighter, cheaper and handles just as well if not better, so I ordered one to replace a GSA. You do not need 170hp for the road and even though it’s ‘only’ got 113hp, with the flat torque curve the V2S is plenty fast enough for 95% of us.

[@timparsons8515]

Totally agree. Still waiting for my v2s though.....😭 been told july now...

[@jamieclarke7]

Got a V2S in Jan. Plenty of power for the road. Can’t see why you’d need any more. It’s a great bike!

[@jonelvidge9191]

Went for a test on a v2s yesterday after reading your comment, other vlogger Mancave moto likes it too. Not for me though too cramped, lots of noise off the screen and it felt quite breathless down low

[@Thelnferno]

I’m in that 5%

So good mate- you can really, really tell when you are digging a bike; and when you are not.. its all in your voce brother. LOVED my 2010 Multi and I can only imagine now 12 yrs on, what they have made this bike into..

[@stevehughes1834]

I’m a few weeks into ownership of mine, took a massive leap of faith let alone investment in my first bike in 15 years but I absolutely love it, need to get some more miles in to bring myself up to it’s mighty capabilities which I’m looking forward to doing once it’s had it’s running in service on Tuesday. If you can stomach the price it’ll blow your mind, I literally bought mine off KZbin reviews, it’s looks and the fact it’s a Ducati!

[@RichyVida]

😍 congratulations Steve 🙌

[@stephenpotts8170]

Enjoyed the review Richy, you certainly don't spare the horses, yes mate when I brought my third GSA last November I was seriously thinking of this bike, it was a fine balance for me, I love the blind spot monitoring and the radar cruise, but I love a shaft drive, so with that in mind, and the 4k less cost I had the GSA. but I must admit it's an awesome bit of kit, thank you...

[@martinehulme8743]

A pleasure to watch this, I can tell you love it, great bike and tech, will always be too tall for my 5'3 frame, and priced out my play zone... However, love the blindspot tech, heated seat, your camera looking at your good self has amazing quality... Er and what good would be loosing your keys and not being able to fill up... Amazing big girl/boy bike... Well done Richy.. Be safe.. Oh and I'd love to see you have another daft tour with teapot and the gang on a daft bike... 🏍️💯👌 Love this bike

[@adrianwatkins9629]

Absolutely fantastic review Richy and a sublime demonstration of a very capable machine... Loving my V4S Multi and I have upgraded the fuel cap as Ducati do a keyless for a good few quid... The top box also sits on a movable mount for stability, and yes it's no GS in the fuel economy stakes but ill take that over fit and finish and that great feeling of being onboard a very premium product 😀 some big miles planned...

[@bikegeist]

I think this is one of the best demos of the radar that I've seen. Well done, Richy. This is my unrealistic dream bike. I've only been riding 6 months, so I have plenty of time to save up and enjoy my current ride in the meantime.

[@johngarrity6942]

Amazing video/ review and an amazing bike, I have the 2017 Multistrada enduro and love it to bits- the only way I’d part company with it is to swap it with the v4 but cannot justify at the moment as have other bikes - TL1000R etc and currently looking at buying an old school RD350lc. Keep the excellent videos coming 🏍 all the best John G🏍

[@Mtthwpez]

You know what, last week my bike was in for a service and I got to ride a loaner bike that had normal Cruise control. Before that day I would've said that you do not need cruise control, but after using it on the loaner bike through a lot of road works for 10+ miles that had speed cameras everywhere, it was a revelation. It is definitely needed for motorway work, and wouldn't be without it for touring now.

[@colinevans5818]

Great review. Some fantastic gadgets with the blind spot sensors . Stunning looking bike to but I would thing the price would put 95% of people off . Maybe a secondhand one in a couple of years . Great review Richy

Great review Richy. I've got those Pirelli Scorpion Trail 2s on my Indian FTR, absolutely love them!

Surprisingly good tyre, Dazzle! Hope you’re well, mate!

Great review thanks for sharing that one. Love the extended service interval,compared to the gs and other bikes. Yup cruise control a must. 😎🏍💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦🥂

I haven't even rode it.. But what an amazing bike with amazing technology on it.. Absolutely epic.. Great review highly doubt there's any better 1 out there than this.

[@RichyVida]

Well thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@RK01]

Cracking review, I love mine. The only negatives are its thirsty compared to the rivals (can't say I care about that), oh and its the most expensive. Everything else is as per what Richy says in the review, bang on.

[@Lochwood92]

Awesome machine and what you can get if you got the money. The technology is a step above. What a privilege to ride this buddy. 👍

[@Andyc1300]

so many great bikes out there now..love my busa, but still nice to see bikes like this too..would have one in a heart beat if could afford two ❤

[@clivehale397]

Nice one rich...I'm a fan too.......

[@q-tubeadventures]

Have to agree with the Pirelli scorpion trail 2 tyres, have them on my SAS, I’ve used the full tyre and they inspire confidence on the road for something considered a “trail” tyre. The only bike I’d want to swap the ktm for is the strada but a bit too expensive for me at the minute. Top video 👌

[@KingBespokeCreations]

I’ve waited for this one! One day Richy, one day.

[@harley84fly]

Your review has really sold it for me, wanting another adv tourer, for comfort etc. I've been looking at all sorts, but the gravitational pull to the multi is strong, very very strong. Thanks for awesome vids.

[@RichyVida]

Oh it’s beautiful! 🤩

[@randersson3672]

Have to say this was a VERY good review 👍

[@RichyVida]

Thanks very much 👍

[@MarkBrown-jy7ye]

Had mine for just over a year now…love it….bonkers fast when you want….comfy….handles like a sports bike….very stable…only downside is she likes to drink otherwise just about perfect

[@TheRyan668]

I was in the UK back in 1979 and traveled from London to York, to Billingham/Newcastle to Edinburgh. It looks more like the US than it did then. Such a beautiful country. I remember seeing the contrast from huts with thatched roofs to towering apartment buildings and council houses. The countryside looks a lot modern now.

[@robertholme3526]

What a bike. Abit out of my price range. But I would love one . Ride safe mate 👍

[@jamieclarke7]

Nice review Richy. I went for the V2S as I really don’t think you need so much power on the road. Hasn’t got the radar unfortunately.

[@cliftonsr]

You seemed way more excited on the NEW KTM 1290 Super Adventure R which I ended up buying and totally satisfied with. Awesome videos Richy!

[@RichyVida]

Lucky you! Amazing machine.

[@neilcopeland6489]

I have a 2020 950s Multistrada, changed the fuel filler for a keyless version that Ducati sell. Looks the same style as the V4s so should be able to change that if you wanted 👍👍

[@stuarthull5706]

My 2011 Triumph 1050GT had floating panniers and top box great design. Love the blind spot very useful on a bike with a full face helmet

[@RichyVida]

One of those things you never knew you needed (or wanted) until you use it! 👍

[@petervautmans199]

years ago i took up riding. My first bike: the S1000XR, very comparable to this 'thing'. I have 54000 kms on it now. So i basically learned to ride with a quickshifter this good. Difficult to ride other bikes with lesser quickshifters!!

[@markzawada5927]

Agree it’s an epic Machine , had so much fun on mine in northern Spain in June scraping the pegs and popping wheelies everywhere! Fuel range is the only bummer . Ps the flaps is cylinder deactivation to reduce temps on your legs , the wings do nothing aerodynamically and the hill hold works with front & rear brake and only stays on for 10 secs , I particularly like how you can lower the rear suspension when coming to halt to make flat footing it even easier . Best bike I’ve ever had .

[@markkitaoka8783]

Hi Mark, I panicked when I read your comment that the hill hold (called Vehicle Hold Control) only lasts for 10 seconds! I use that feature all of the time and worried that on a steep hill here in San Francisco I'd find myself suddenly going backward or forwards. I checked my owner's manual and on page 310 under VHC it states that the rear brake remains active for 180 seconds, NOT 10. And when the VHC begins to release it indicates on the dash it is disengaging by flashing and GRADUALLY releases the brake. WHEW, glad I checked my manual. "The system can be activated at all ABS levels (including ABS OFF) and its activation is indicated by the warning light (Fig 301) turning on. The same warning light will start blinking when the system is about to release the rear brake pressure and thus to stop keeping the vehicle at standstill: pressure will be decreased gradually."

[@BillyBigBalls770]

That'll be your next one without a shadow of doubt 🧐

[@theonlyredspecial]

I demo’d the v2 loved it almost bought one then I demo’d the v4s and just loved the power on tap. Of course it’s hard to use it but on those rare occasions you can it’s amazing. Its just ‘more’ ! It’s ducatis best bike. That and the pikes peak. I sold my Gs recently. Love that bike too tbh. Can’t say a bad word about the gs even though I sold it. Just wanted something different and a bit more fun. I think the plastic front parts are more for airflow to keep the rider cooler. And the side fins are to move heat away from the engine. It’s quite thirsty but it’s a fast v4. If that’s an issue I’d agree don’t buy it. Doesn’t bother me love it.

[@Themotograndpa]

Great bike and great reviews mate 👍lot of money though, have to stick to my tiger 900 rally pro just been to northern Spain on it 👍

[@mikehorton8603]

If money wasn't an issue I think your review would have sold this bike better than any salesman, my ATAS ES plus was on the limit of what I would pay for a new beasty. Any plans to give the Desert X a go looks another iconic machine, Ducati seem to have really upped their game. Great review as always thanks Richy

1:15 that “flaps open” is the V4 going in & out of cylinder deactivation mode, once the clutch is letting out & gear engages. Once at temp around 160F +, 2 rear cylinders shut off at light to cool bike & rider. You’re hearing 2 cylinders back to 4

Great video. Looks like a great bike. A question. Was the fuel used E10 crap or E5 ? Have that radar gadget in my truck. Great device. Was wondering how it would be on a bike. And you’ve fit in with it straight away.. So great.. would be good to see more manufacturers incorporate it ? 👍

[@RichyVida]

E10. Not many places using E5 anymore? Yep, the radar is mega.

[@greengoblindave]

@@RichyVida That is correct. But everyone I see it I put it in. My AT also drinks the E10 as I’m sure you may notice on yours ?

[@RichyVida]

Don’t notice any less mileage? Or not that I’ve paid attn to, anyway? Maybe That’ll make a good comparison video.

[@greengoblindave]

@@RichyVida yes that could do a great video. Test out first in case I’m talking out of my arse. But for example the Tesco garage in settle. If I fuel up with E10 from Stalybridge. I Have to top up there. And that’s only doing 60mph on motorway. However the other day I set off from SB, but with V-power from Shell. And I seemed to have a lot more fuel left, rode around settle single track lanes and back to SB without topping up ??? I suppose to properly test it out. Would have to do the exact same route at the exact speeds etc 😂 Actually yes. That would be a great video to watch 👍

Great review, as a Multistrada owner (1200 Enduro) I'd be interested to know how you think the V4S compares to the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R you recently tested ?

[@RichyVida]

Although they’re in the same genre, they’re quite different. The SAr is aggressive and shouty, where the V4s is refined and elegant. Oh, and way faster top end. I’d be worried about taking the Multi off-road, and as such probably shy away from doing so. Whereas the KTM I’d happily chuck that around off-road - as I did in the review vid 👍👍

[@ianmorgan7198]

@@RichyVida I enjoyed my test on the V4S, it was beautifully built and performed like an upright sports bike, however two things put me off , the price 25K and the lack of touring range (about 150 miles), these two negatives lead me to try the 1290 Super Adventure which was an awesome ride , it has similar performance to the V4S but was the best part of 10K cheaper and had a 250 mile touring range.
