New Ducati Multistrada V2 S - Test Ride Review with Comparison to Multistrada V2 and 950

I tried out the brand new Ducati Multistrada V2 S for two days and in this video I tell you all my thoughts on the bike, including differences to the Multistrada V2 and the 950.
Thanks very much for watching. Take care and ride safe!
Cheers,
Juliane

Very complete review with a lot of information, great bike, one of the few that really transmits sensations

[@pebbles8360]

Quality review packed with facts, info and opinions. Love the way you say it as it is! Good or Bad!

[@artmchugh5644]

My wife and I love our 2015 1200 s !!!! It is the most wonderful thing I have ever ridden!!! We are heading to California from Pennsylvania next summer!! 😁😁😁😁😀😀😀🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@molward]

Finally I was able to find a review in English ;-) Well done Julianne as always! It is a bike I am really eager to test-ride. Seems like a very refined construction.

[@dukiemoto8676]

Another awesome review👍 keep it up you are doing great!

[@paulred158]

Excellent review and I appreciate seeing a reviewer who is my height. Thanks

[@stauroskon6118]

You covered pretty much everything in this review! Nice work!

[@jamesdonoghue5907]

Good review, thanks. I don’t know why I’ve not come across your channel before - subscribed now 👍

[@conscious4895]

Great review, Julianne! I really appreciate the pillion info you covered and the addition at the end. My wife and I tour on our S1000XR so I'm always interested in this info and it is rare to get that in a review. I also share your reviews with friends who have a similar stature to you so they can get a sense of how the bike might fit their ergonomics. They always appreciate how they can "see" themselves on the bike and are inspired to try it. Well done!! 👍

[@ridenroll.juliane]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@rjsalameh]

Really like your reviews! please keep them coming!!!

[@maheshajnkya]

Great review superbly structured on the technical front, in fact it’s far superior than the original Ducati company review. Keep up the good work.

[@matiasc.6277]

Excellent video and review Juliane. Thank you a lot for the effort to explain so many things about the V2S. From Argentina, best for you!

[@BlackThor15]

What an awesome review Juliane, well done!! 👍👍

[@ianthepelican2709]

Wonderful review and covered those (to me) all important points. In 2017 I test road both the 950 and Triumph 800 XRT, when I matched up the configurations and naturally accepted that the Ducatti was going to cost a few dollars more the two biggest things that put me off were the seat height and the throttle response at low speed especially from start in traffic (forever stalling). The Triumph won out in the end. That said each ride I regret not having that wonderful Testastretta engine beneath me. With both these items now addressed I think it's time I took another test ride.

[@richardfu776]

Thank you so much for the detailed review, especially the comparison to 950 and V4. I'm thinking to buy a multistrada for longer trips. I've been riding a Ducati Scrambler 1100 for 3 years and I really love the character of this Italian machine. However, it's not comfortable after an hour riding on highways due to the lack of cruise control and wind protection. Your candid review is super helpful for me to have the multistrada V2S in my garage. Love your reviews. Keep it up.

[@maijapoppanainen]

Excellent review, thank you so much! Fell in love with this bike immediately. Now I just need to get the money for it somewhere :D

[@chadgruver4423]

I think that was your best review yet! Nice to see a guest appearance by Schaff, he talks! 😂

[@jamiemui5186]

Very good video, super informative.

[@markkennedy5754]

Thanks for the review!

[@stephenbrody2717]

Just found your channel. What a great review. You provided answers to every question I had plus some things I didn’t think about. Great video. I’m a sub

[@ridenroll.juliane]

Thanks so much! 😊🙏

[@kamui330033]

Thank you for a great review. I have been looking for the difference between the standard and the s version.

[@bobridestwowheels]

Really good review, very detailed.

[@GazVanDyk]

I had a 2018 950 MS, it was a great bike. Looks like it has grown up a bit and improved all round.

[@pistolpete6321]

Excellent review, looks like a great motorcycle!

[@christal-clear4505]

Oh what a lovely bike! Suits you 😊 too. Thanks for a very detailed review, no questions, just jealous! 🤣🤣♥️👍🏽🏍

[@dermaschinist2596]

It's always a pleasure to watch your reviews and get all the interesting details you describe. And it is also a pleasure to see the famous Valentin at your side - topped with a famous "Brennraum"-Mütze from the Zonko-Universe. I also appreciated your Multi V4-Review very much. You go girl.

[@ridenroll.juliane]

Thanks so much! Very happy to hear! Rock on! 😁🤘

[@Porsche996driver]

Right I used to watch his wild videos on the old Honda 750 custom ha. He can really whip a bike so fast and always in complete control.

[@andrew.storriemclean403]

Yip, bought one (S) awaiting her arrival late July. Thanks for the review 👍😁

[@brianegan5372]

Best review I have seen, Julianne. I have owned a 2013 Hyperstrada 820 since new and have loved it. I can't wait to get my hands on this bike when it lands in Oz soon. Such a great package.

[@anxiousappliance]

I have the hyperstrada 821 too, and I think I'll just keep it. Wish they'd developed the hyper further, still nothing like it. They plonked this engine into the multi in around 2017, and it still weighs in the vicinity of 500lbs. KTM is reviving the SMT, but...KTM.

[@billvick7011]

I just noticed the red stripes on the wheels that look quite cool when watching the bike go by from the side. It's almost a red flashing effect. Neat. Oh and towards the end where you were talking about low rev operation, the English word I've always used to describe that is to 'lug' the engine or 'lugging' the engine where the bike struggles to accelerate and it's almost like you can feel the individual power pulses.

[@Porsche996driver]

Hey hey there’s my man Schaaf aus der Schweiz! You guys have to watch Schaaf’s channel - amazing rider + pure motor sound videos! Great review and perspective J and a great smile bonus ha. Peace all! ✊🏼🏁

[@amalm3574]

Best part is that you keep your narration biker experiance oriented than being bike oriented. Was just contemplating this machine , when i stumbled upon your channel. You got some really nice content ma'am . You seem to leave a gap of few months every now and then on uploads . Hope you come up with more content. HONDA AT maybe . Luv from India.

[@yorkshire1290DUKE-R]

Great review. Looks like a good do it all motorcycle.

[@Brad-RB]

Great review. Beautiful bike.

[@paulwallner472]

Juliane you are a pretty not an average size girl and your reviews are allway the time to watch it worth! 👍👍👍

[@MrTone41]

Excellent detailed review thanks

[@billfish5913]

This another bike on my short list to buy this spring 2022. Another helpful review. I especially like that you ride pillion and share your experience as a passenger. I’m looking for a bike that my wife can enjoy with me. Thanks.😎

[@tommyboy1377]

Nice review thanks

[@Thorsten_Kueppers]

15:19 der Schaaf ☺️☺️ schön, euch beide mal wieder zusammen in einem Video zu sehen! 👍🏻 Einen tollen Dialog habt ihr da über die vielleicht wichtigsten Dinge an so einem Bike, hab ich bis jetzt so noch in keinem anderen Review gesehen. Top!

[@ridenroll.juliane]

Vielen Dank! Immer eine Freude mit Schaaf ☺️

[@Porsche996driver]

Two good humans, bestimmt.

[@chirag4]

I Love Schaaf's videos, watch every one of them, he even replied to my comment once. Thanks for featuring him here, Juliane, i like you & your reviews too, very much so.

[@ridenroll.juliane]

Appreciate it! Thank you :-)

[@ProphetAndLoss]

Schaaf is a madlad! He made the NC750X look sexy! 😂

[@ianchamberlain1631]

What an excellent review! I'm looking to test ride one of the V2s next year and swop from my 2020 Monster 1200s to it (if the test ride is satisfactory) Liked & subscribed !!

[@ridenroll.juliane]

Thank you! 😊🙏

[@keirreeves766]

Excellent review, the bike is beautiful as are you.🙂

[@borilapostolov7474]

Another great review from you, dear! To be honest I like this one better than it's " big" brother. Somehow I feel the S version is more like for me. Great info from Mr. Shaaf as well. Thanks for enlightening me on that new piece of technology! Keep being sweet and smiling, we all love that. P.S. looks like another rival for the Yamaha's tracer 9 gt, hm...

[@andrew.storriemclean403]

Yip,great review and now awaiting delivery. S model in red of course

[@afrikachris9083]

Ich glaube es gibt niemanden, dem ich lieber zuhöre wenn sie Englisch spricht, als der wunderbaren Juliane! Lovely and informative at a time!

[@lanzabrandao]

Great review, Juliane! I wish the V2 S had heated seats, that's a godsend during colder times...

[@Alfra1324]

Awesome review Juliane! I was thinking about a Tiger sport 850, but seeing the Ducati, Its a hard decision, moneywise, but you get what you pay for. I'll go with the Ducati because its a lot more loaded , and since I'm 5'7 I can flat foot, ride safely.

[@ianclark4547]

Great review

[@shibajiroy89]

Superb genuine review 👍

[@c.g.c2067]

Funny since I heard other reviews saying the quickshifter works flawlessly. Great review by the way.

[@Kevy263]

Thank for the great review! You answered a lot of questions I had about the bike since it's on my list to buy. Also you mentioned "the tail Change" @ the 2:30 point in the video, could you explain what change was made. Thanks again!!

[@leonv1553]

Hi Juliane. Nice job on the comprehensive review. Especially as it was only a two day intro ride. The small data pop-ups you included worked well and didn't distract much. Sounds like you need to take a V2S for 2 weeks of real traveling. Norway or Canada West would sure do it. Then use it for another week just running around. Canada riding secret? Avoid the busy major roads, loads of long, quiet, curvy side routes. When on long dirt or gravel sections we lower tire pressure quite a bit, like 30%. Did the Ducati reps mention that? A small air compressor easily hides in the luggage till needed. Be sure it will run off your power port. Engine running while pumping air, bike batts are small. Ducati offers spoke wheels for real off road use, perhaps because light alloy wheels don't like rock hits at all. Thanks again. Loved your Mona Lisa smile while TurboBoy was talking. Leon.

[@harlekin3399]

Great Review of the Bike Juliane! I already ordered the V2 S Travel at my bike store in Wr. Neustadt. I tried out the Monster+, got her in the middle of July and i have to confess the Testastretta is one of the best engines i have driven so far. 10 000 km till end of October! I am sure the V2 S will satisfy me the same as the Monster+! Cya on the austrian roads Juliane! Kalte Kuchl forever! 😉

[@ridenroll.juliane]

Nice! Have fun with the Multi :-) Yes, Kalte Kuchl rules! 😁

[@donaldsoncole3095]

Thanks for putting the specifications in American measurements !!! I noticed !!!! I do not use nor understand Euro measurements ! I can't afford the repair and maintenance prices for a Ducati, but I can dream !!!!

[@Maggieismydog]

Always an awesome review and pleasure to watch. How does this compare to the Tiger 900 GT Pro in your opinion?

[@pookiewookie7679]

That's a really beautiful bike!

[@rihorsburgh]

Great review, in fact best one out there so far. Question; now you’ve ridden both the V4S and V2S, which bike do you think suits you (and most riders)?

[@takenbythewindNdrivenbythesea]

Oh man, I really need this bike. Ducati improved a lot ❤❤❤

[@capngeo2002]

Tuscany on a Ducati? WOW!

[@peterADL]

Thank you Julianne, I appreciate that you added the fuel consumption/ range comparison. I love the sound of V4, but the mileage is a bit worry. Definitely here Down Under you occasionally need 400 km to the next petrol station. I’m also a bit concerned about the heat of the V4 - if I understood correctly, V2 does not warm up the rider that much

[@kylecolmar964]

Thank you Julianne

[@peterrooney8236]

Looks like a fabulous bike. I had a 2018 multi 950 and this looks like a very decent step up. Would I trade in my 2021 S1000XR? I would consider it but the Ducati ownership/dealer experience isn't the best where I live. Still...I love the look of the Multi, just something about it

[@TheAgalmic]

I love your Triumph Trident 660 review and also this one, much more than your Harley reviews. Maybe you can do a bit of a cross-over and review the Ducati Diavel 1260s which has a seat height of only 780mm.

[@mikehackett6353]

At 5’6””, Did you ride with the standard seat height or was your bike equipped with the low seat. Great review video. Thank you

[@thomasdonohue2952]

Bike looks great wonder how it compares to the new tiger 660

[@stephanefrancois793]

Very good video. I am french; i own a 1250GS I would like to know if the quickshifter is better than the 950s?? Thanks

[@varshniveralevel8347]

Nice viedo.. Have u ever ridden R15?

[@tahoehiker]

Great review but even with the upgrades I still think my next bike is the Tiger 850 sport.

[@liesbetvanneste2069]

I used to ride an Multi 1200S bbut after 60000km and a few touchdown's I did no longer feel comfortable; the bikes seamed too heavy for me to control at low speed and especially while have to park and move the bike whiile standing still....Is this model more easy to handle then ? I now ride an Supersport S since almost 3 years and I really love it but to behonoust ....sometimes I miss my MTS....

[@RJadventure]

Thank Julianne. I really enjoyed your review on the V2. I am only 1.70m in height and I believed I am as tall as you but can you show us how your feet touch the ground when you are on the bike?

[@fallinginthed33p]

Was Julianne riding on the standard seat and suspension setup? A 5'5 or 5'6 rider could probably tiptoe on both feet or have one foot flat on the ground with the other on the peg.

[@ridingdreamer]

Hi Juliane, thanks for sharing this wonderful review. Recently came across your channel and subscribed! Your reviews are very informative. BTW, apart from the power difference, is there any difference in overall comfort level between the V2 and V4 in case of two up (pillion) riding? The V2 has plenty of power for a pillion plus luggage itself I am sure, and you would only feel the difference if you ever ride a V4 I guess. So is there any reason to go for a V4 just because you do occasional two up trips?

[@kylecolmar964]

I would like to know the answer to this question as well

[@fallinginthed33p]

Tank range too, the V4 runs out of fuel faster.

[@Eds_PanAm]

have you ridden 950s? do you think it would be worth to upgrade to the V2s? I really like the 950s and might upgrade due to the seating, I'm unsure yet....

[@iansian829]

Miss beautiful give me honest advice for comfort stability safety and speed ....triumph tiger 900 vs ducati v2s vs bmw gs850

[@whizwheel9436]

Hello Juliane! Just one question on the wind screen - how does the wind noise compare to other sport tourer models you have experienced? I have heard mixed reviews on this from other reviewers, but would love to read your impression. Thanks and tschüss!

[@idskidmore]

Can you fit a helmet in the panniers? Thanks.

[@AC-id6rf]

Thanks for taking the time to make your review. It was great to hear your thoughts on the V2S. It’s interesting to see how Ducati have evolved the Multi over the last 10 to 12 years. I can’t help but think that Ducati is going backwards. If you compare power, weight and handling, the old ones had higher spec cycle parts (single swing arms and ohlins) developed more usable power lower in the rev range, had better fuel economy and we’re basically much more fun to ride. The 2010 model’s engine was derived from the WSB 1098 after all. It was literally a superbike on stilts. Even when the new bikes do generate more power they need 1800 more rpms than the old bikes. That’s literally 20% more rpms ! Below is the V2 from 2010-2015 compared with the current V2 (there was no 950 back then) and then compared with the V4s Capacity. 1200 950 V2 Weight dry 189kg. 199kg Power. 150hp @9,250 113hp Torque. 87.5.lb@7,500 71lb lb ft Suspension.

Brembo Front wheel. 17. 19. Panniers. Yes No Price Now. £6000. £19,000 Maybe the golden age of Multistradas was in the 2010s not the 2020s?

[@marra988]

I see here that you all were riding with this x-lite helmets. My question is what is the wind noise on multi with this helmet? I have 950 2018, and tried several helmets and noise is killing me.

[@passeiosdemotopaznaestrada7480]

Parabéns muito top!

[@travelinben1966]

It’s a great looking bike as adventure bikes go.I would certainly have given it serious consideration if it were shaft drive.

[@ibryamibryam1623]

Superrrrr

[@yogid21]

My heart and mind were already locked on to this bike, but Honda released their new NT1100. Now I can't decide...

[@iansantos7808]

the panniers size is the same as v4s?

[@mrakmal6978]

Niceee

[@ibryamibryam1623]

superrrrr motor!

[@ankitraturi2219]

Appreciate your work 👍 You're really Beautiful too 👌❤️

[@thormenucci]

They keep the 19 inches wheel because the v2 will have the option for spoked wheels as well and an off road package.

Hallo Juliane, ich hätte dir gerne ein Abo da gelassen, aber sorry, warum englisch und dann mit den selben Untertiteln 😮Wieso nicht zumindest diese in deutsch? Hätte nämlich gerne auch mal die Meinug aus Seite der Motorradfrau gesehen. Schade😢

[@andreasriedel-ef]

Liebe Juliane, gabs Deine Videos nicht früher auf Deutsch? Schade keine mehr dabei...

[@michaeldobson8859]

It was a good review. Nice to hear a girls perspective on what can be a woman’s bike. Nothing nicer than traveling with a female rider who takes it seriously.

[@nmitrev]

you are lucky girl you can test multistrada but in Bulgaria we can not. Ducati provide only 1 bike for showroom and noting more. Only you can touch the bike in the shop. :D :D
