Rode the Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak on track!

Got an offer I couldn't refuse! This is the slowest I rode all weekend, very mindful of the price tag obviously, but very grateful I got the chance to try one.

[@Supernova12034]

its impossible to get work done when cuban release a new video 🤣

[@ricardoedwardo5799]

Came from two Tuono V4s (cause they’re awesome) to a V4s sport. Something just clicked and I knew it was time for one of these machines. Never ridden a bike as much, as far having so much fun. It’s thee best bike I’ve ridden. Crazy fast, powerful, comfortable and can fill your topbox/panniers up and disappear. WHAT A MACHINE!

[@sgtfixer]

I recently purchased the 2022 Pike's Peak and it is something to behold. Feels fantastic to ride and the power is just insane. There is no wanting more bike. After hitting 100mph +, something comes alive in the Granturismo V4 that is both exhilarating and intimidating at the same time. Almost as if it was alive, roaring at me, egging me on to keep twisting the throttle well beyond my comfort zone. A total beast and I love it!

[@williamcovey4162]

What a dream bike! And you have the skills to make it look awesome too! It looks like it WANTS to be ridden hard. Great video. Thanks!

[@fw1421]

Back when the 1200 Multistrada S first came out in 2010 there was an on bike video of Greg Tracy taking his Multi to a track day. The only modifications the bike had was slicks,a Terminglioni exhaust and the suspension tuned for him. He started mid pack and by the end of his heat he had passed every other superbike on the track. That’s the lineage this bike has. Greg Tracy had won the Pikes Peak hill climb 3 times before then. Unfortunately in 2011 he crashed in some oil a car had laid down before him. I was there at this running. I would love to have one of these models. Amazing bike.

[@jonathantucker7172]

Just had mine after 11 months waiting can not believe how much I love this bike in 2 days not even run in yet just feels spot on .👌👍👏👏👏

[@lyndonohue3350]

I came from a Gen II XR to my Pikes Peak. What I notice most is that 1) the seat is more comfortable, and 2) the V4 has better low end to dig out of corners. I put the Akra race & uptune on the bike, and it has more power, a little less weight now, and sounds amazing.

[@KNR6292]

the V4 has better low end to dig out of corners. then you would probably siht a brick if you rode my 2010!! Welcome to the Multistrada family! Your bike is astounding, the coolest thing on 2 wheels today.

[@nickrider5220]

Looks like it got your seal of approval ! I guess the backwards rotating crank helps with direction changes, plus it's shorter than the XR's too.

[@DakarBlues]

Shorter than the XR? This V4 Pikes Peak has one of the longest wheelbases, and the XR one of the shortest among the so-called Adventure bikes

[@Antprilia.]

Great Video. If you’ve got the chance, go for another turn in Race-Mode. Then it turns even nicer. 🤪 I traded in a 2017XR and a 2021 GSA for the 2023 MTS PP. No regrets. 👍💪🤟

[@georgetheoharis8537]

Exactly this. I believe if he runs it on the track/race mode then he can catch the pace of his XR, especially with a bit more track oriented tyres.

My bro in law who has one and loves it, according to him you cant even buy one here in the UK, only order it and its a long wait, have to admit its a nice bike, even insuring it was a problem for him, forced to get a tracker and made to jump through hoops, he moved it from the garage outside and got a call asking why its moving lol

[@CubanRider]

That's wild.

[@jimasful]

i have a 2015 XR ,thinking to change it for the PP .does it worth the extra money ?

[@hangpilot1200]

Love seeing an 'adventure bike' on the track. The multistrada is a beast, but the price difference between a Pikes Peak and S1000XR M is substantial. I went w/ the XR... for now ;-)

[@CubanRider]

Can't go wrong with the XR!

[@iGuruCrazy]

Did the front windshield and display move a lot on hard acceleration?

[@pilyomotoride7781]

Which one do you think is faster gen 1 s1000xr or the v4?

[@huichosala]

Realmente apreciaria una respuesta honesta. Para curvas o track, que moto es mejor? XR o Pikes Peak? No iba en su max potencial, pero ya con eso ya se puede tener una respuesta. Dinero no es una condicion, solo desempeño. Cual?

[@troylanders2129]

Cuban I can see you ripping it up on the new M1000XR when it comes out!

[@Brian-ov1rj]

Another bike made just for you. This would look good in your stable with the XR. 2 great bikes!👍

[@CubanRider]

Great bikes indeed. 👍

[@Guiza15]

Which is better and powerful?? V4 or Xr ??

[@jonasbaine3538]

[@Supernova12034]

Will cuban trade in his xr for this? 🤔

[@tomtraynor5384]

My PP handles more like my old Duke 890R than my Superduke GT ever could. More comfortable, dampened, confidence-inspiring and controlled--with uncanny agility foe a "Big Bike". More comfy for wife/travel as well. Best all-round bike out of 20 I've owned so far.

[@CubanRider]

That's a big compliment for sure. I have yet to ride a Superduke GT, but know a couple of people who ride them very fast. I wasn't sure how these tires reacted and I was riding in an intermediate rider group, but the bike felt like it could be ridden much faster with confidence.

[@andrecaeiros4266]

Awesome video! That screen is a wrs? And is it dark smoked? Thank you

[@merjful]

I would like to see a similar video with the gen2 Xr M pack 🫡

[@GenghisKhan311]

Smokin them 😮

[@bongyakwui]

Judging by the pick-up speed, probably this bike is not "Up Map" yet. You should try the one with the up-map, will not be disappointed. Lol

[@user-dx2gj6jh7i]

I have a '21 Tuono V4, love that bike but it's balls to the wall every time I take her out (the sound of that Aprilia V4 is stunning). Was thinking about trading it in for the Pikes Peak.... what do you think having owned a Tuono? Can you compare the two bikes?

[@CubanRider]

The Tuono is a more racy, if you're going to spend a lot of time on track, it'd be the weapon of choice. The Multi on the other hand is a do-it-all machine; very expensive, but if you can afford it I don't think you can go wrong with it.

[@54Rocketeer]

Tuono is faster and more agile, Ducati far more comfortable

[@davidelizabeth4933]

Were you running the regular Rosso IVs or the Rosso IV Corsas? And what tire pressures? Cool video and great bike!!!

[@CubanRider]

Now that I think about it, it may have been the Rosso IV Corsas. Either way, I wasn't pushing it enough to make a difference. No idea about tire pressures, but they felt okay.

[@GT4Race]

Is it better as the XR gen 2? I don’t love the brakes on the gen 2, wondering if you know good pads?

[@CubanRider]

I've ran EBC sintered pads with great success. The ones I run on track are the EBC GPFAX (630), but those are for competition only.

[@mekajikato8286]

s1000xr or this bike :)

[@DDSRacing]

I'm interested in that too

[@fentontaylor9021]

What do you think/ Pikes Peak or Aprilia Tuone V4? The Multi Stada seems more comfortable with better wind protection. Thank you!

[@CubanRider]

Different purposes and price points, the Aprilia is more hardcore and like you mention the Ducati is more comfortable, very personal choice, both excellent bikes.

[@fentontaylor9021]

OK, last question. Pikes Peak or BMW S1000 XR???

[@TheCvac]

Man I wish aprilia released a tall superbike with the rsv4 engine,I would buy that in a heartbeat.

[@jeffmccollum3769]

that engine pulls extra at 7000 R's

[@Magicinstalls]

So...when are you trading in your XR for a pikes peak. I did and never looked back!

[@CubanRider]

If the money wasn't a factor... maybe.

[@JK-tu1xx]

Crazy part is that the new XR in its top trim level isn't even that much cheaper than the Multisrada V4 Pikes Peak edition.

[@CubanRider]

And people keep asking me while I stay with a first gen... $$$$$

[@JK-tu1xx]

@@CubanRider Admittedly you can pick up a 2020 XR model slightly used for around $15k nowadays but I totally understand what you're saying. If it's just going to be your race/sporty road bike I don't know that the extra features the newer gen bike offers are worth the price tag. I can imagine having a motorcycle north of $20k on track is already a bit of a risky game you're playing.

[@lennykibbs260]

Hey Cuban.. Any odd vibrations felt when you were getting on it, especially when accelerating hard into the triple digits +, I'm not asking about engine vibes like the type that numbs your hand- talking about like an out of round tire / wheel condition or out of balance tire- Just got mine last week and I know for a fact there's something not right with this bike..but of course the dealer says otherwise.. best way I can describe it is.. doing 100+ mph with big arse motocross knobby tires on the bike.

[@CubanRider]

No noticeable vibrations of any type on this one, quite comfortable going triple digit speeds. I'd say the best bet on yours would be removing the wheel and checking for roundness and balancing.

[@lennykibbs260]

@@CubanRider That was my first thought as well but the dealer said it zeroed out- and to continue riding it, it may go away?? So I complained to GM and they replaced the front tire under warranty but it still doing it- maybe the rear needs to changed too?

[@kostassideris3328]

Great video! Maybe It's yours next bike?

[@CubanRider]

I'd love one!

[@ThaSideWeed]

Raise the forks in the triple clamp and you'll have a more nimble xr too. Stock front is too high. Experiment until you're satisfied. There;s people with as much as 50mm front lowered.

[@CubanRider]

I've been meaning to try it.

[@jonasbaine3538]

lowering 50mm doesn't causes it to wobble at high speed?

[@theperipateticgumshoe9047]

Would you take this over the new M1000XR?

No
