On one hand I am so happy to see the company is not afraid to evolve and move on from tried and true tech. That said as a legacy customer I love the desmo vavles, the dry clutch tambourine sound, the rattle, its the character that draws you in and makes you feel like you own something unique with character and passion, imperfect foible and unmistakable. But truly for any company to survive being just a relic they have to pursue tech and solutions to known problems. What scares people away? Sure the maint cost is the #1 reason people choose a BMW or Honda, this levels the playing field and puts you on Italy's finest with much more peace of mind. I for one will line up to test ride it, and applaud their efforts and forward thinking, but I shed a tear for the past because I know why I love Ducati, and I hope this brings them more success.

[@alexandresantini4072]

I agree with you, i got a mixed feeling here. Having a Multi 1000DS i can't blame Ducati in trying new things obviously. My main question is what it means for Ducati in the next years. Will we see smooth engine like that on all models ? I guess not on the next five years, but in 10 ? Well, i will keep my classic Duc in my garage for sure !

[@markhorsten72]

Well spoken. I agree as a ducati owner / lover

[@ducati]

We promise you we spent so much time and consideration to make this the best version of Multistrada that it could possibly be. The reliability and performance for the journeys we want you to experience combined with the unique Ducati feeling that only we can provide is what we are proud to present and we really hope you give it a try because we know you will not be disappointed ❤️

[@markhorsten72]

@@ducati we already love the New Ducati. Why? Its a Ducati. The enduro I own today is my fourth Ducati in a row. Last year made a 10k trip in 5 weeks time on and off road. The enduro fully packed with gear and it did its job perfect. Its a beast, much better I can drive it to its full capacity. But.....for this offroad trip I needed a lighter bike. Desert sled type of bike. But....with a bigger fuel tank, maybe 21 inch front wheel and a bigger screen for more protection against Rain and snow with a weight around 180 kg wet. Make it half the price of an enduro and you have a worldwide winner.

[@kurtbartsch8909]

@@ducati We know you try all. But to safe money by removing the Desmo is the wrong way in my opinion. I guess I'm not alone. To increase the service-intervall is nice but not the most important! Ducati without desmo is for experienced owners like me difficult to follow....

[@aletrkfy]

10 anni fa quando avevo una giap i ducatisti mi decantavano tutti i pregi della ducati... Frizione a secco, telaio, bicilindrico desmo ecc... Ora che ho ducati parecchi ducatisti esaltano la nuova linea motoristica intrapresa dalla ducati che rende le proprie moto praticamente delle giap tirando fuori sempre la supercazzola che bisogna progredire! Ricordatevi che in progresso non è sempre sinonimo di miglioria, soprattutto se stravolgi completamente la tua filosofia! A questo punto se uno deve spendere di più per una giap ricarrozzata ducati, si compra una giap!

Signor Costa scusi se mi permetto, ma da quanto tempo lei è desmo owner? Io sono ducatista da vent'anni (e tutto sommato son pochi, ma ho 41 anni), avendo acquistato tre moto Ducati (750SS, 999base e 999S) e non accetto compromessi, categoricamente non intendo rinunciare alle tre caratteristiche storiche di questo brand: 1. telaio a traliccio 2. valvole desmodromiche 3. motore bicilindrico Per chi non la pensa così rispondo: è anche possibile acquistare motociclette giapponesi!

[@haroldscott9525]

Hot take: the Streetfighter V4 would be better with this motor instead of the Desmosedici Stradale. Hope they drop this in a new V4 Monster!

[@Dinara1up]

nah, i think the sports bikes should always stick with the desmo system and dry clutch. That what makes Ducati special. In this case, for a touring bike, sure it was a smart idea to go with springs to increase the service interval.. but for their sports bikes, it should stay unique.

[@haroldscott9525]

@@Dinara1up not sure why you're bringing up the dry clutch because all Ducati V4 motors and almost all of their V-twins use wet clutches now. And I'm not saying this Gran Turismo motor would be better in the streetfighter because of the service interval, I just think that the increased low end and midrange makes more sense for a naked bike like the streetfighter instead of 200+ HP up top.

[@elviofavaro5990]

Il desmo è sinonimo di Ducati, ma la tecnologia avanza, le esigenze dei motociclisti aumentano, soprattutto in termini di affidabilità, il V4 col tempo si dimostrerà sicuramente molto più economico ed affidabile rispetto al v2

[@TheGiamma34]

Sarà ma di Ducati ho sempre amato l’unicità, il sound (V2 ovviamente) e tutti quei meravigliosi difetti che le hanno sempre caratterizzate..e che le si perdonavano volentieri

[@tommasotedesco]

@Alberto Cioffi il desmo su moto da strada è solo manutenzione in più. Non devi mica grattare centesimi sul giro quando pigli la moto il fine settimana. L’unica cosa che ti rimane sono le spese di manutenzione esagerate rispetto ai concorrenti.

[@AskioXT]

FAN-TA-STI-CO!!!!!!!!!!

[@marcelopinheiro2842]

Una sola parole: divino!

[@GaryJohnWalker1]

Stick it in a roadster - not (only) a monster, streetfighter or strada - but Ducati's equivalent of a speed twin or r1250r. Just keep it light, comfortable, space for some (but not massive) luggage and a tank range of well over 160 miles. A true GT.

[@sabamacx]

To be explicit, no desmodomic valve train, no variable valves: no desmo, no VVT.

[@rjbarbour]

Shocking!

[@Jose.LQ6]

No expensive service every 25000 km though

[@eubikedude]

@@Jose.LQ6 No, probably an even more expensive one at 60k instead and what about the in-between "oil" services?. ;)

[@Jose.LQ6]

@@eubikedude the expensive part is that they need to tear down the whole damn bike to acces the valve train, so openning it less often is welcome; and servicing a conventional valvetrain is easier than desmo valves. Oil changes are nothing compared to desmo service lol

This motorcycle will be out of the reach price ways for most people. I've had three Ducati motorcycles. At present I have a 2018 Multistrada 1200 s. It was quite expensive two years ago. I don't know the price of this new multi but I bet it's over 20 grand for the basic model. To pricey for a motorcycle. I think the Gs will be my next bike it's cheaper or Suzuki v strom. Good bike for the fraction of the money the duke will cost.

[@texanbill6032]

Desmo valves are the sole reason Ducati’s have a distinctive sound and power delivery. You simply cannot attain a high lift and *long* duration cam profile without Desmo valves. This is why the V2 Multi is only 10hp less than the V4 Multi. I’m fine with the 18,000 mile intervals on the current Desmo Multistrada. Desmo *is* Ducati. Non Desmo is Audi building a cheaper design.

It all seems fantastic but I don't like the elimination of the Desmodromic valve operation,I appreciate it's for huge service intervals and quiet running but this seems like a step too far away from Ducati's core characteristics,I'm sure it's a fantastic engine/bike,okay dry clutches have their place and steel tubular frames maybe have limitations but people,myself included,don't buy Ducati's for generic features that can be found on any mass produced motorcycle.

[@sunilsipun9799]

They are a company brother not charitable organisation who will carry forward their values. All these years of existence Ducati still don't have a market size they should actually have. What do you think is the reason? Too much unreliability, expensive & frequent Maintainance, higher costs of parts etc. One have to acknowledge that enthusiasts can't make a company survive. Mass market will. Thats what Japanese brand were doing for years and The Japanese 4 have captured markets all over the world even in Europe. BMW first to fell and now Ducati... "Legacy, Ethos, Core values" etc are very sweet to listen but of no use if they lossing market share and difficult to thrive. If they can attract more buyers that would be a great. Cause I personally I fan of Ducatis design & looks.

Come erano le Ducati fino al 2010 più o meno... purtroppo il signore del video, ha molto credito in VW (le cifre sono dalla sua parte) solo che si è fatto prendere un po’ la mano e così ha buttato nel cesso una cinquantina di anni di tradizione..venderà di più, ma veramente perderà ance molti clienti storici e sopratutto perderà di unicità il marchio.
