Ducati Multistrada 950 S quick review [RAW Onboard]

[@Schaaf]

Find the review in the description! ENJOY!

[@speedpower2740]

Wow, that's the local road I ride on regularly, I thought it looked familiar. I didn't expect to see it in your video, that's crazy

[@Schaaf]

hahaha that is awesome! It is such a brilliant road!

[@wasnotme]

The best combination: great rider with good bike on great road (Cerknica to Rakitna, Slovenia). Schaaf, najboljši si!

[@Schaaf]

hvala!

Few years ago I saved in my favourites the Austrian snake that I saw you have ridden on and was just thinking that one day I might cross close to it and will enjoy it. This year I was actually there because I was passing by and slept in the area which was amazing. It was thanks to you because you have put the location and promoted it. Thank you buddey and stay safe!

[@Schaaf]

Fantastic!!

[@davidcasas3862]

Such a beautiful sound, such a beautiful road...thanks for the ride!!!!

[@Schaaf]

thanks for the comment!

[@lueqmanmasduki6028]

Because of you schaaf, I want to ride at Austria when I'm done with my architecture school. Greetings from Malaysia!!

[@Schaaf]

this is SLovenia though :D :D :D

[@brianskibbe7881]

This was the perfect video and review to confirm that I would be content with a mutistrada, and didn't have to buy the aprilia tuono to enjoy riding. Utility, flexibility, and Italian flair, without having to sacrifice the enjoyment of hearing that Italian "symphony". I do feel that nothing sounds as good as the tuono, but I would never take a tuono off road. Thank you for your excellent reviews and rides!

[@Schaaf]

thanks Brian

[@Thorsten_Kueppers]

Hahaa, auch nach zwei Jahren ist dieses Video immer noch ein Genuss! Ganz besonders jetzt, wo die Multi in meiner Garage steht und ich genau weiß, wie sich die Fahrerei hier anfühlt 🤩 herrlich!

[@a.b.350]

Geht mir genauso🥳 vor allem jetzt wo die Multi wegen Winter nicht mehr bewegt wird ❄️

[@kaiivalo169]

Great video. Looks like exciting roads and I like the way you're giving it the revs. The bike loves being revved and so many online reviews miss this as they're trying to ride the torque. I also agree about the handling which is something else. A great bike overall.

[@Schaaf]

Finally someone who knows how to ride a Ducati ;)

[@HRCboyy]

If you have one, can you tell me if you had any problems since you have it? And how much mileage ?

[@kaiivalo169]

@@HRCboyy no problems and 6,000miles so far. Best bike I've owned in 25 years of motorcycling.

[@Tamau90]

One of my favorite roads around here. Great riding sir!

[@Schaaf]

thanks Denis

[@Porkycheun]

I didn't even realized it wasn't the 1200 (1260) until after watching the video when I read the title... It seems like it fits your style perfectly, it was very fun to watch, almost as much as riding I bet? 😋 Have fun and ride safe!

[@Schaaf]

thanks Porky! It sure does!

[@mindspinn311]

Your review reflects exactly my experience with this bike! This is what I should have bought instead of my Tiger 800. I test rode a Multistrada 950 and forgot how good it was and I was considering other factors when I made the purchase. Depending on what is available or new in the next few years I will hopefully swap my Tiger for one of these.

[@Schaaf]

Good choice!

[@mikeplant9163]

nice ride my friend, great way for me to start my day. thank you.

[@Schaaf]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@stokerel]

Multi + Schaaf + corners = perfect

[@Schaaf]

thanks Johnny

[@MasAdamAndhika]

i wish i had one of bike that you've been use it before... so enjoying your videos, What a Great work!! Nice sir!! 👍👍👍

[@Schaaf]

Thanks 👍

[@ranganmukherjee3842]

Aah...!! That's the good stuff. I like the accuracy with which you blip the throttle every time you downshift (not just in this one)....!! Ride safe, ride hard... Cheers buddy!!

quickshifter

[@Schaaf]

thanks Ronald

[@dresedavid]

Hi Schaaf, this seems to be really nice road to ride. Ride safe and nice work on the videos :)

[@Schaaf]

Thanks a lot!

[@Kevin-zf3yy]

This bike is my way to go. As an Ducati Fan im already own an 848 for a few years now. But the small Multi catched me a long time ago. This bikes feels so "little and light" compared to the big one. I really like to owne one.

[@Schaaf]

It is amazing for sure

[@aperlia6603]

That quickshifter sounds so good

[@Schaaf]

yes!

[@adamsinai312]

Were you staying in first gear more than typical because its performance in the low revs?

[@maxster10]

He always rides like that. Using lower gears everywhere. I would also like to know reason why since bike has enough torque and power.

[@grenphelps7455]

I was going to say, there's another 5 gears in there, I ride on just as twisty roads (west coast of Scotland) on my ktm 1290 superduke gt and only go down to 1st for pulling off from junctions, there's plenty of torque in the multi to get away with 2nd gear in most of the corners....bloody thing sounds like it going to blow up 😅😅🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@Schaaf]

it's actually only necessary in tight hairpins, the Multistrada doesn't work below 2500 rpms. But I enjoy riding like this when I'm riding quicker. In some corners the RPM drop below 4K, even in first gear. The Multi peaks between 7 and 9. And I want to feel the most power and torque possible.

[@grenphelps7455]

@@Schaaf you wouldn't get it's maximum torque in first gear...but hey its ur show....but ur always going to get comments like this when riding bikes in 1st gear.....maximum torque isn't until the peak rpm.....also I'm not here to say bad things, but I'm a lot older than u and have a lot more experience with bikes than u do....because I've been riding longer...

[@leviathan1195]

The 937 Testastretta needs around 4000-5000 to corner well. I dont mean that you cant corner with 2500-3000 rpm trough a corner with constant gas, you just can feel that it is not 100% smooth. Upper body close to front, around 5000 rpm and you will have much more fun :). I dont think, that the engine torque is cutted down by the ECM in first gear with no traction control on. In normal Sport, Touring,... it could be.

[@KuSter1989]

Hi! VFR800 RC79 vs Multistrada 950S. Which one would you choose?

[@amirulazreen6198]

I had the 950S for a week and i found there's couple of issues with it, first was the tendency for the gear to go into neutral especially from gear 5 to 6. And 2ndly, the top end is just a bit lacking however I do love the low end torque. Ducati said they've reduced to clutch plate to improve gear change but I somehow think it just made it worse. 😅

[@Schaaf]

hahaha yea the gearbox indeed isn't at its best ;)

[@Vishnjaaa]

Brilliant Video! I have MTS 950s as well and absolutely love it. I noticed you use 1st gear till 70kmh and trail braking, so you don't close throttle in full right? Because my MTS 950s on 1st gear slowing dramatically fast. Maybe it is because you are using sport mode vs mine touring. Can you add a few comments regarding your curve technique on MTS?

[@Schaaf]

Honestly there is not much to explain :) I just enjoy using the bike at its highest power and torque range. That's why I use first gear a lot. I actually don't know if the engine braking is any different between the riding modes. It would make sense but since I only used Sport when riding quicker I actually can't tell, sorry!

[@Vishnjaaa]

@@Schaaf Thanks for your reply. So you trail brake mostly with throttle and still having a little front brake pressure?

[@HRCboyy]

@@Vishnjaaa what do you think of it? Did you have any problems with it ? And how many mileage did you do? Looking to buy one this week-end.

[@Vishnjaaa]

@@HRCboyy It's great, only a bit heavy, but handling is much better than new monster for example. About 5k.

[@HRCboyy]

@@Vishnjaaa good to hear ;)

[@77archibald]

Wow! What a road. Well ridden too👍🏍

[@Schaaf]

Thanks ✌️

[@billgilkerson5294]

This one has a 19 inch front wheel and it handles better than the 1200 with 17?

[@karljehle8553]

Habe ein Abbo dagelassen! Finde es super wie du fährst, hast einen klasse Fahrstil, da wird einem nicht Langweilig! Kann leider die nächsten Wochen Krankheitsbedingt nicht selber Motorrad fahren, drum schauen ich in letzter Zeit mehr KZbin. Aber deine Videos sind mit Abstand die Besten! Da wird wenigstens nicht getrödelt, wie bei manch anderen 😜

[@Schaaf]

Freut mich! Danke, Karl!

[@Mabbsg]

hello, how tall are you? I'm 175cm and wondering if i can fit this 950 MTS. I read that 950 is taller than 1260

[@Schaaf]

yes you can

[@adamking6419]

I recently purchased the 950s and agree with your thoughts in the text. I love it. It's a pity the audio dosent reflect the induction noise. My big criticism is for a premium product the mirrors are PANTS. I CANT SEE SHIT .

[@Schaaf]

that's true

[@sivanm2130]

Love your reviews Schaaf, and really miss 1000PS English reviews. Will you review the SuperSport that has the same engine?

Hmmm... Maybe one could do something about raising the revs a bit and low speeds with a sprocket change or a remapping? Cool video

probably

Intense , loved it ! Is it possible to try the Tracer 900?

[@neilmurrell281]

If you had to choose between the 950 and the 1260 which would you go for?

[@chrisi970]

950s

[@Schaaf]

yes

[@ΘΑΝΑΣΗΣΣΤΑΥΡΟΠΟΥΛΟΣ-υ1ι]

compares with 1200 enduro ? what you think ?

[@Schaaf]

the enduro is better for offroad

[@viraggupta6625]

Ive always favoured the 950 series of this bike more than the 1260 ... i still dont know why . Maybe its because of the smaller size of the 950's , they probably ride better than the 1260's judging by the way you were chucking this bike round the corners . Otherwise the 1260's are the specsheet kings . Ducati makes the best bikes !

[@Schaaf]

the 950 rides way better in my opinion!

[@gunterjetzinger9587]

Das sind doch nie erste gang Kurven !! Was macht der da ?

[@Schaaf]

Wenn du mit einer Multi eine 40kmh Kurve mit maximalem Drehmoment fahren willst, dann braucht es den ersten Gang. Das ist weniger begabten Fahrern allerdings nicht bewusst, weil sie das notwendige Können für ein Fahren an der Drehmomentspitze nicht besitzen. Und ja, damit bist du gemeint.

[@albertodallaporta9441]

Great ride and outstanding bike.. but I really can’t understand why you do use the gear box the way you use it. Really wired way of riding a Ducati-engine bike.

[@Schaaf]

Because the rpms drop down to 4K and this bike peaks between 7K and 9K. It is not necessary but I like to ride my bikes in their strongest areas

[@opmike343]

@@Schaaf These bikes are SO miserable under 4K. My new 950 S (bought in part due to your opinion on them) definitely likes to rev.

The same goes for every brand out there and Just because you can afford a Ducati or anything within that price range, doesn't mean you also know how to make it last, unless of course you don't care much about the maintenance or the repairs expenses because you can simply afford that too. In this case its fine, just do whatever you want, your bike your responsibility 😉 😜. Just be careful though, there's no reason to prove anything to anyone.
