DUCATI MULTISTRADA 1200S PIKES PEAK RIDE & REVIEW 2019 MARK SAVAGE

[@DVDsNFC]

What a hoot my. Wife and I just found your vid a real laugh. Yes I do ride a bicycle and a motor bike even with knocked knees. Ride safe my friend

[@TheSebtrain]

Just found the channel. Top bloke

[@marksavage]

Thanks bud and for your comment

[@christaylor5924]

You still got this Mark? Thanks for all the great vids. Safe riding.

[@christaylor5924]

Apparently the Gilles gear selector arm provides a big improvement to the false neutral issue

[@marksavage]

no , i had to come off of riding for a bit , i'd buy one tomorrow as they are just great bikes to ride

[@marksavage]

@@christaylor5924 worth looking into bud when I get my next one thanks

[@stewartcowan5886]

Hi bud. I have the 1260 and very occasionally I have had the 5th to 6th neutral. Only happens if the chain is needing adjusted. Possibly the problem is the sprocket change? Just a thought . Enjoy the bike. I love mine.

[@marksavage]

now that's helpful and something I will look into, top man how do you find the 1260?, is there any real difference have to say I rode to work this morning and it just felt great with no problems

[@stewartcowan5886]

mark savage the 1260 is by all accounts just a little bit smoother mid range. Haven’t driven the 1200 to compare personally but I think they’re both fantastic bikes. I’ve done 4K since March and it’s a joy. I agree with infotainment comment. I have phone and sat nav connected to helmet. The Bike system only allows you to answer calls using the handlebars but it’s really clunky to connect and phone signal is not as clear. Keep up the great video content and I agree who needs a music soundtrack when you can listen to the engine. 👍

[@jamesdonoghue5907]

Good video, thanks. My Supersport S has an intermitent issue with false neutrals going into 5th both ways. It's a known problem on the SS. I just bought a '14 MS1200S with Pikes Peak conversion and am enjoying it...but weirdly, it's not as comfortable as the SS. Going on an overnighter Thursday / Friday on the Multi so will see how it compares on an extended run.

[@marksavage]

Good to know it wasn't just me I've adjusted the gear linkage and it seemed better and didn't do it to and back from work so will keep an eye on it but a pain when it does it !! I rode it back the 140 miles and for me it was very comfortable so let's know how you get on Thanks for the feed back bud and take care

[@mbtfp]

Sorry to say, but this isn´t an originial Pikes Peak version. There is no Öhlins suspension and no Marchesini rims. They just put on some stickers. ;)

[@marksavage]

yes bud Like I said in the video its just decals and some carbon but all in still looks good and is the S model , thanks for watching

[@robertmcdougall8409]

Hi Mark... I had the same problem with mine . Loved the bike but a selector spring broke in the gearbox at 17K and it was never the same after the fix . I do miss it thought as it was such a great bike to ride apart from the false neutrals like you are encountering .

[@artmchugh5644]

Robert McDougall that's a drag !! I have a 2011 1200 s and have put 33.000 miles on it in 22 months. Got it with 41.000 miles .got it for 6 grand !!! Love this bike !!😄😄

[@marksavage]

I adjusted the gear lever and the clutch lever yesterday and so far to work and back yesterday and to work this morning no false neutrals and the gear change was smoother !! lets see how it goes but I do know it really is common, I was worried about any damage to the gear box so fingers crossed this helps thanks for watching bud

[@marksavage]

I had a 2010 one and it did the same thing too but that's where I got the bug to own another one but liked the look of the mk2 so lets see how this one pans out

[@mattgibson4535]

What a lovely looking bike and that red frame looks amazing. Great video mate and nice view, the screen looks better. Amazing how many bolts were loose maybe 5th gear is loose lol. Crazy how many modes there s to play with. great stuff mate loved it

[@marksavage]

a guy just told me about the chain as in if loose it can cause this so when I get home ill check that and adjust the gear linkage however all in a very nice ride to work this morning it does look cool and yes the screen is much better thanks bud as always for watching take care

[@grahew632]

I've got a 950 and that's got same gearbox misses I think its call personality! Still the most comfortable bike I've ever had 👍

[@marksavage]

ha ha personality like it , I did also look at the 950 as lighter then the 1200 buy to be honest the 1200 is still so much lighter than the GS1200 and other bikes I had so loving it so far and after adjusting the gear lever and clutch lever the last 3 trips to work have be all ok so fingers crossed I wont have so many false neutrals

[@TheDervMan]

Beautiful looking bike. I was so expecting a slap around the back of the head ;-)

[@marksavage]

Hi bud Left her at home otherwise you know she would have just appeared behind me pmsl Good to hear from you bud As for the bike , you know it Take care

[@David.Horne72]

I think this bike would be good at first but then it would become boring, it is a old man's bike. Only joking I am researching this it looks and sounds amazing, what's it like for 2up? I am either going to get a Multi or a Triumph 1200 tiger, my next bike I would like to have for about 5 to 10 years, and go on long trips 2up, and also the odd run on my own, do you think this bike would have many issues during the ownership?

[@marksavage]

hi bud if i'm honest this is a fun all round bike for one person!!, yes other may disagree ( watch my other videos on them like the tiget , gs , trophy , pan , etc ) these are a little - I must get there now !! I have a video with my video on a multistrada and a vn1600 where she she's her views - well worth a watch ) i'd bring the other half down and try it , luggage is smaller than most tourier's but others the yare fun may be one and another for two up lol

[@wightwalker2453]

It's a pretty thing! With all those loose bolts surprised it didn't just fall out to pieces on start up. These days, regardless of who has serviced it, we've only ourselves to blame if things fall off, trust nobody!

[@marksavage]

Agree I should have gave it a better look over

[@MarkWitacher6022]

Hi Mark, I just missed the part that you comment about how taller is this bike, did you had lowered it? Cheers

[@marksavage]

hi bud no standard height on these are 825mm to 850mm high and as you know I'm a short ass lol 29/30 leg but I find it fine and so much lighter than the GS to seems a lot easier to move and control I guess you might be able to get a lower kit tho thanks for watching mark

[@MarkWitacher6022]

​@@marksavagesavage thank you for your quick answer I appreciate it, awesome video.

[@tracer1127]

Great looking bike Mark. Piss poor show from the dealer to not check nuts are tight enough before handing it over. Can’t believe in 2020 dealers and manufacturers haven’t got their acts together when these reviews will put some buyers off. Such a shame because I bet it’s a buzz to own and I bet you smile when you open the garage door.

[@marksavage]

agree they just seem to take your money, they only check what you pay them for. in the old days they would have gone over it to make sure its safe but not now that's an extra service you would have to pay for. this is why I started with the mopeds to help people fix there mopeds and bikes and be safe on the road and not get charged silly money for easy repairs as for riding it every day oh yes and even better when - well if the sun comes out again lol and now I have my f150 I smile with that too - video on here bud take care

[@petermcgarva8656]

I’ve had four 1200 Multis, I just love them. I had a 1098 and a 1299 between a few of them but alway went back to them. The main problem is keeping your license owning them. You just have to ride them fast .......

[@marksavage]

yes I agree they don't want to hang around so you have to keep an eye out when riding them

[@Yonex333]

Have you tested the 1260? Do you find it better than the 1200?

[@petermcgarva8656]

@@Yonex333 no I haven’t. After four of them I ventured onto other bikes. I might go back to one sometime .....

[@marksavage]

@@Yonex333 I'm the same I've looked on line and see one parked up But not rode one. I'm hearing rear swing arm problems and engine no different All bike engines are bigger now with this new cat euro 6 thing But no or less power output This has made the 2nd market big and holding there money more

[@sam-dn9hr]

Id say it was Ducati! My local garage has a habit of damaging my bike

[@marksavage]

Had to be as how many bolts were loose Thanks for watching bud

[@mariol1436]

Hi Mark, what are your thoughts on the Gilera Runner 180 2T are they really that quick as people say and are they reliable? cheers

[@marksavage]

They are quick but too big of engine for 125 learner riders And too small for the ones who gave past there test So yes fun quick but the same problems as the 125s with being 2r To quality 2t oil and they will keep going bud

[@mariol1436]

@@marksavage Thank you so much Mark.

[@silviosirianni9260]

Great review, hi from Australia 👍🏻

[@marksavage]

Thanks bud

[@marksavage]

And a big thanks for watching

[@stephensheard4388]

This may have Pikes peak colours but a Pikes Peak Edition comes with Termigoni exhaust and ohlins suspension, and carbon screen and not a clear one, im guessing its a multistrada S with just decals added great by nonetheless.

[@marksavage]

hi bud watch my other two videos on the bike , I clearly say in this video its just decals and in the other video it had the carbon screen someone has just done it up to look like one with the reverse colours all in yes its a great bike and rides well and looks good too thanks for watching

[@barneykennett9282]

Nice review, bike looks good...👍

[@marksavage]

Thanks bud and for watching

[@ethanguthrie4789]

Hi Mark I know this is off topic to the video I've been having this problem with my speedfight 3. Initially it had a 70 jet in the new delorti carberator and it wouldn't reach the top speed despite it revving the right amount We then tried a 58 jet but it would rev well to around 6000 but when I fully open the throttle the engine dies We then tried a 68 jet but now the scooter won't start. The carberator is brand new and the cyclinder too. Any help would be appreciated Thanks

[@billgilkerson5294]

Had a 2013 and loved it. Test rode a dvt and vibes around 6k onwards? Arrrgghh

[@marksavage]

the mk1 did but something I got used to , the mk2 they sorted this problem out and does ride much better all in great bikes bud

[@Yonex333]

@@marksavage Can you specify MK1 and MK2 please? Thanks!

[@marksavage]

@@Yonex333 no with a video lol There are many many differences but if I'm honest I like the mk1 better, Ride lighter, more fun and easier to play Best ride both mate Mk2 more toys, better lights and looks

[@mmcguireiphone]

Are you being delicate with gear changes? Needs a kick ;)

[@marksavage]

no but a guy just told me it can be the chain being loose so will check that and adjust the gear linkage however I rode to work this morning and it was all fine but something I will do when I get home thanks for watching bud

[@barrados101]

Geez mark was anything tightened up?

[@marksavage]

my wallet after paying for it pmsl , piss poor really bud but so far all good now

[@js5369]

Hiya mate, bit of an off topic question but say i had a completly stock piaggio zip 2t and i put a de- restricted sport exhaust onto it would i need to do anything to complement it and if not would i see any peformance gain, cheers

[@marksavage]

just start with the exhaust bud as sometimes it will run just fine after that then maybe a small up jet like in my videos and a better box filter check out my tuning video jetting video and exhaust videos on the zip easy to find just type in like tuning then mark savage they will help

[@js5369]

@@marksavage cheers pal

[@amityadav101]

Can't believe how many bolts were loose , unbelivable. If it's a pikes peak it's hyper sports bike .

[@marksavage]

I know bud , this was a tourer and they put on nice decals but still 160 bhp and I do love it , thanks for watching

[@mikemiles3068]

Beautiful bike Mark! Glad you got all your loose nuts tightened, I went over mine when it was new and found some that were loose. Never hurt to double check. Good video, be safe and have fun!👍🎥🏍👏🙃😎🥴🤗

[@marksavage]

Had too go over all of them just to be safe your right bud Thanks bud and for watching Let's see how she rides on the work run tomorrow

[@a11s3y7]

hi mark i’ve got a peugeot jetforce 50 and when i first ride it, it’ll run perfectly fine no problems, but as soon as i ride it for 20-30 minutes it’s as if the bike looses throttle response and power, what could this be?

[@marksavage]

every time I get a question about these jetforce's its all away the same thing, they look amazing and ride well but problems when I had one it did the same and it was the stator coil going to earth but this was the problem I had with mine is your carb or injection have you serviced it . changed plug, air filter and if carb cleaned it and changed fuel lines as all these could be the problem give these a go and see how you get on if injection it can be this unit and the cdi , big problems !!

[@a11s3y7]

mark savage it’s carb and i’ve changed the spark plug and cleaned the carb, my air filter is a closed unit so can’t be changed, had all new fuel lines put in recently so can’t be that

[@marksavage]

fuel or electric that's all it can be clean out tank and checked vacuum? ht coil or stator coil? these go to earth once hot and fail but again I had this on a speedfight and it was the plug ? odd you can get the air box apart could be as simple as tuning but you should be able to get the box apart to change the filter or buy a new one as sometimes its the simple things that fix them and this could be it!

[@a11s3y7]

mark savage the air box is a sealed unit and it’s impossible to get open so i’m not really sure

[@daveffs1935]

I get the false neutral too, it's a known issue

[@marksavage]

drives you mad !!, but otherwise great bikes

[@72Gunni]

Hey. Have you tighten the wheel bolts? Im considering changing my GS 1200 rally to a multi😎

[@marksavage]

I went over every bolt lol, I have has 3 GS's and this is so much lighter and fun but you do have to stay awake or think it can catch you out but to be honest I like that well worth a test ride bud and thanks for watching

[@toxicbreeze5306]

Can any one please help me after putting petrol in my 50cc moped my bike lost power and cut out little bit of white smoke coming from the air box tryed to start it but would left it for about 15 minutes tryed it again it started but when I took my hand off the throttle it cut out anyone no the problem... Thank you

[@marksavage]

so you put fresh petrol in your bike and now it messing around ? could have picked up some crap or shock up the tank now in your carb take the carb off like in my carb videos and clean it up check plug and see how it goes I have many video on my channel that will help bud

[@toxicbreeze5306]

OK thank you Mark by the way we're are you based please

[@corvair140]

HI Mark, Title is spelt wrong. You should watch Guy Martin's Pikes Peak Challenge documentary. Brilliant. Sorry not sharing the love for Ducati's. Overpriced, crap quality, most sound like a bag of spanners and ridden by overpaid power rangers. I know you and the multistrada dont come in to that category, I'm generalizing. Keep the great vids coming.

[@marksavage]

haha love it yes I need to change that pieks to pikes lol, yes i will agree with the spanners but still do think they look amazing and after all the nuts being loose I may have to agree with the build quality too lol mate thanks for your open and honest review and thanks for watching will have to do an update of how I'm loving or not loving this Ducati with a few Vlogs take care bud mark

[@johncee1481]

price though....the importers are sooo greedy...just like Alfas

[@marksavage]

There bargains out there you have to wait look & haggle Update on riding coming soon Thanks for watching

[@deniscalvert6826]

Just watch as some bolts are toqued up so using a ratchet is not a good idea apart from the bolts that where finger tight very bad great bike though lucky man

[@marksavage]

yea I understand and didn't go full on hard to do them up but lots of them were still loose so yes not good, however it really is a nice bike and thanks for watching mark

[@Chris-vq5vr]

Sorry but this is not Pikes Peak

[@marksavage]

I know bud it was a tourer they put decals on , dont worry I did say in the video that the dealer just took off bit and tarted it up ,saying that it still looks great and thanks for watching

[@tracer1127]

Almost a collectors item if you hadn’t been smart enough to check all the fastenings. Poor show for a dealer to not give it some sort of inspection, not every rider spanner’s their own bikes.

[@billgilkerson5294]

De capono........har

[@andrejkumer]

its not an adventure...its a sport-tourer

[@MrDavidfeltham]

It's not a Pikes Peak

[@marksavage]

I said that mate ,did you watch all the video !!! Clearly said it was decals put on!
