New 2024 Ducati Multistrada V4 RS: Everything You Need To Know!

[@casefarley5744]

I don't understand this bike - how is it better than a Pikes Peak? You get 10HP that you will never notice (and less torque than the Pikes Peak, per the Ducati website). But it comes with a dry clutch rattle and shorter service intervals so it's a real Ducati! Cool I guess? If they had put a more aggressive tune in the engine I would at least see the argument. Give it the full 200+hp engine and then it's a streetfighter with some wind protection, which sounds awesome to me (even if I cannot afford it).

[@rdavidsen7344]

Holy limoncello. Never expected the Pikes Peak to look the 'affordable' buy. I watched the official Ducati release in Italian a few hours earlier (English subtitles). Encourage those interested to give it a view. Repetitive early on, but it's nice getting a dose of that Italian flair (more to come Nov. 2nd).

[@skyworks1621]

Total beauty. I rode the regulat V4s and it was strong, only small negative was engine heat. Brakes was one thing I cant forget. Such a pleasure when braking. If it would cost 20 k € I would buy one now 😢.

It is like the super bikes of old but with comfy riding position and luggage capacity. It’s kind of Porsche cayenne turbo of the motorbikes.

[@Ctaff63]

10 bhp more than pikes peak , much shorter servicing . What I really don’t like is the Audi= R/S. logo, red callipers mmmm. Paint job for kids. Pikes peak looks way cooler and classier. I’d go for full system over dry clutch any day. I actually put down 1K. Deposit today before 3pm when it was announced. After being told about it by my ducati dealer . Glad it’s refundable. I’ll stick with my PP V4. with measleyb170 bhp, , grand tourismo engine is brilliant , kept me laughing in the year I’ve had it and covered nearly 12000 miles and enjoyed every minute. 👍

[@jojosthlm]

Price is over the top, really crazy.

[@cesbaral]

Well... let me share you that I've got SFV4 SP version, and it's the best motorcycle I've ever had, but only for on road trips. Now I'm ordering also a multi v4 rally, to cover my long distance journeys, with better fuel autonomy and some offroad capabilites. So now, this RS with an engine in the middle of this both, not as powerfully nor good range, and dry clutch (requires way more maintenance)... it's ok for someone who wants an extra punch in a multi, but for me: useless cause tries to do everything, but can't do it perfectly. Perfect is, to use the types of motorcycles for what they are designed for. So sticking to my original plan, one for the insane speed pleasure (SP), another for traveling capabilities, with lower maintenance and inviting my girlfriend to it (rally). Btw very nice content!

[@IanTed]

Standard V4S enough for me, but then I’m happy with my V2S but if I won the lottery🤣

[@flyjets01]

Never once did I think my Pannigale V4 motor should be in my Pikes Peak Multi.

[@Gofr5]

Good lord the Pike's Peak version was already priced insanely high (almost double what my 1290 SAS cost), nevermind this version. It's $42k here in Canada, which would actually be double of what my 1290 SAS cost. Damn! That said, these are amazing bikes and I would of course love one, but it's definitely an exclusive piece reserved for the wealthy. I expect a lot of them will end up like most of these expensive limited pieces do, as garage queens in rich collectors' garages.

[@creedor]

It’s absolutely stunning.

[@robinsmiggy3884]

I feel like Ducati is running out of things to do lol Definitely would've liked to see some upgrades to the Diavel, Supersport and Scramblers. Feels like those get left behind despite having great sales potential based off market demand. Actually, the Multistrada V4 RS really makes me wonder what the point of the supersport is besides better looks lol

[@lohchenghuat6388]

Basically just a Multistrada PP with Desmo engine😂

[@Blackirish__]

Is this better than the pikes peak?

[@paul-joseph]

The shorter service on a touring bike will be a pain. The PP should have been called a V4 R. Unless you give it 200bhp like the up coming 1000xr this is a waste. You get the same bhp on the pikes peak with the full exhaust. I won’t be upgrading my PP as as I prefer my paint job.

[@dino5254]

Is there Adaptive Ride Height on this one?

[@Hugo_WP]

If it is a Desmo.. why not the Streetfighter engine with 208hp ?

[@camerongeater5404]

This is quite an odd bike. The regular multi already gets not-great mileage, and this motor is known to be even worse (and that's when it's in a 400lbish Panigale/Streetfighter), so in a 530 lbs bike I would it will be pretty bad. Between that and the dry clutch that burns out pretty quick (again in a lightweight sport/naked bike) I think this will be a maintenance nightmare! But hey, That's that Ducati owner experience!

[@my_ride_1157]

Thanks bro 🙏 great jop

[@UncleWally3]

In an era where motorcycles are often more sophisticated than aircraft I remain ignorant as to why most manufacturers still use solid tappets that require valve adjustments rather than hydraulic or some new type of “self-adjusting” tappets. Aside from manufacturing profit, can anyone explain?

[@viperq]

I picture a Ducati Diavel RS as well.

[@papadougpapadougsadventures]

Designers gone Wild!!! I was expecting a higher price

[@simonhenry4680]

More money than a SFV4 SP2, less power, no carbon wheels, no full akra

[@patrickhd34]

Plus, I hate the dry clutch (bag of spanners) timbre. The regular Multi V4 is a bit thirsty. This could be worse. I had a Streetfighter V4S, which was lovely, but spent a significant amount of time filling it up or looking for somewhere to fill it up. But, it made the Multi feel slow.

[@Gofr5]

Yeah, it's running $42k here according to the Ducati Canada website. That's nuts. I just picked up a new 1290 SAS at half the price and already thought that was priced pretty damn high. Even the PP, as you pointed out, is priced insanely high, nevermind this rich man's collector's bike.

[@alfiethefeline3311]

This is how the multistrada V4 should have looked from the begining ! single sided swinging arm and 17 inch front! lets face it NOBODY will take their Multi to serious offroad. Now they are brining this out and want top money, they will sell out as they find these odd people who doesnt ride motorcycles just collecting them. Well they might take the bike a few times a year to a race track. Beautiful bike. wish they will be able to do a Multistrada which is multi V4s price but with single swinging arm and 17 inch front. If i want an 19 inch adventure there are better options like KTM and BMW. Ducati miss the trick, they destroyed the multistrada. As an ex multistrada 1200s owner so dissapointed to see what they have done to this motorcycle. Ridden V4s multi (to buy) its awful, ridden V4 pikes peak its excellent but i wouldnt pay that money. So there for ducati is no go for me for years to come. This is why BMW is successful they never confuse or integrate the GS and the XR they are different bikes. Ducati should have kept multi On road and off road as category. But they are italian and they are high.

[@buldezir]

dude, its valid for all adventure tourers. like 2% of owners took them even on lite offroad. but look at ALL marketing materials, all of them are from some deserts or mountains or other places where u never actually take those motorcycles. dumb marketing makes stupid models.

[@alfiethefeline3311]

@@buldezir yea these are not adventure bikes as such.

[@Gofr5]

The PP and now this RS are literally DOUBLE what I paid for my recent new 1290 SAS. It's insane how much money Ducati wants for these bikes. They definitely aren't providing two 1290 SAS' worth of value or fun. I agree the marketing on the big ADV bikes in general is all screwed up. These are just comfy upright sport tourers that can do some dirt and gravel roads on the side. That's how I use my bike and I'm happy with that. Most people that buy these kinds of bikes I think truly understand that though. I'm not sure who they're trying to fool with the marketing.

Ridiculous price for 10h.p more over standard. And no carbon wheels like on their SP models which are considerably cheaper too. M1000XR will be lighter, has carbon wheels also over 200h.p and it'll be far cheaper. No brainer!
