New Ducati Multistrada V4S | Everything You NEED To Know!

Durdle Door, Corfe Castle, Swanage, Poole sweet memories!

[@dp7016]

Full respect leaving that in, we've all made last minute misjudgements like that, very much appreciate the brutal reality during the review. Great production, awesome content as usual. Well done mate 💪🏼

[@grumpsrides42]

Fair play Chopsy, leaving the "slight error in judgement" in the video 😳 Sooo lucky nothing was coming the other way! But we've all done it. Great review of the bike, very clear and concise. Ride safe and have fun mate, Grumps.

[@whittlad]

Thanks for the review Chopsy. Certainly a soiled underwear moment at that junction but the bike looked great and I loved the bark it gave when opening the throttle. Nice features like the sat nav integration, massive distance between major services and heated grips that actually work are a first for Ducati. Overall, a really nice bike with a four year warranty👏🤩

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah it was haha 😄

[@paul.vanhout57]

Nice save on that left-hander - major pucker factor! Wonderful area for the views and the ride.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Paul 👍

[@johndickens5370]

I felt my ass ring tighten up on that bend chops 🙆🏻‍♂️, you were lucky on that one, just shows you not to panic and keep cool and 9 times out of 10 you should be ok, a great recovery 😎✌️

[@stevekirk6399]

you have 2 sat navs going and you still missed the turn! lucky guy. good video :)

[@filippoavellino2499]

Wow what a moment at 16:45, worthy of a Hitchcock thriller. BTW signage on that road was awful, devilish junction, imagine it in the middle of the night! And the final touch, cherry on the cake, the fuel light roulette, who hasn´t done that? So you did get a few extra miles beyond "zero" range, good to know. I am seriously thinking of acquiring one of these, now that the teething problems have (hopefully) been ironed out - 1300GS anyone? - and your comments really helped. Pikes Peak would be THE bike but the price tag... Congrats for the vid and how you managed to keep it upright, AND that you didn´t edit it out.

[@davidellis2021]

Like your reviews Chopsey. You get to the heart of the bike like few others do.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks David 👍

I know you posted this over a year ago, but I have just bought multistrada v4 and agree with your comments about the seat comfort and stood up a few times to relieve the pain

[@MotoTvWoodsFarm]

[@mardelplatalimousines3423]

Great review! I believe this machine is serious competition for the GS 1300, king regards from Catalonia!

[@mikejgriffiths]

We've all been there Chops. Looks like it suits you that Multi V4s, you looked very comfortable on it. Maybe a bit too comfortable :D. Nice review and nice dronage

[@driveandsurvive]

Thanks Chops - your vids given me more to think about - I had practically ruled out an adventure bike (on dirt wishing I was on something lighter and on the road wishing for something more capable), but that bike is really impressive. I note in the comments below, it all falls on you, for the overspeed on approach to the heart starter T junction. It would have preferable for better signage (larger - to account for setting sun), placed further in advance of the intersection. Particularly, in a road layout that partially obscures line of sight on approach. It's also a really good example of why you ride at the pace were carrying on the day - being not familiar with the road layout - not giving it 'all the beans' - leaving a lot in reserve for the unexpected. Well done, as always.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks buddy, yes the V4 is quite an amazing bike and so agile! Without doubt my favourite adventure bike but seat would have to be changed.

[@davewalton2358]

My bum almost sucked the upholstery off the chair as you cranked hot into that intersection! Another great ride as always Chops, really enjoyed the chat along the way. Very nice bike and sounds great quick shifting through the gears... Cheers!

[@christopherjones3422]

Enjoyed dude, christ that was close thought you were gone for sure.

[@stuartchaston6592]

That route to Durdle Dor is almost the perfect ride, I know it well by bike and always enjoy it!

[@lynsmith1096]

Another good video Lamb Chop. My heart was in my mouth when you almost came a cropper. Nice drone shots.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Lyn, yes was a close call! 😅

[@ChristopherD-M]

Awesome vid!! Agree with other comments, good on you for leaving the “oh Jesus” moment in there! We’ve all done it! Love that you took an adventure bike on an adventure.

[@ninja12lawbreaker]

That junction wake up was dealt with very well. I once came unstuck coming from 200 miles of Motorway speeds down into my home town and could not slow for the roundabout and had to go round it the wrong way. Luckily no other cars on the dual carriageway

[@michaeldolan9812]

Lol 😂 we've all been in that brown pants situation Mr chops, a good test of breaking I like to call it 😄 Great vid 👍

[@LambChopRides]

Haha yeah, thought 'I'm coming off' I was so lucky the road was dry, otherwise never would have stopped. Brakes are very impressive, had no choice but to tug them harder than I wanted too and managed to stop. I'm blaming the low sun.. I glanced at the satnav looked up and realised I was in a spot of bother 😄

[@michaeldolan9812]

Handled it like a pro 😂🤣 All the best to you Mr chops Look forward to more videos

[@krishnack79]

Amazing review , I actually saw the pikes peak video first and then this series , nice comparison. Its a nice route, I might try it out. Well done on the save and for not coming off , good of you to leave it in the video

[@theonlyredspecial]

It’s a cracking bike. Loved my test ride recently. Motor is blinding but Ducati make some of the best engines on the market.

[@RevZolution]

Chopsy what is going on!? This is not on par with 44teeth content...i know I said your last one was but honestly what has happened? I think your review of this bike is better!! than many reviews the lads have done over at 44teeth😄you've literally taken your review to the next level. Well done Chap. Get some tracking shots in (the icing on the cake) and you'll have become one of the best reviewers out there at the moment.....Next to myself obviously 🤣(jokes) well done on this review and the edit.

Cracking review Chopsy. Sounds like the perfect bike, especially for us with shorter legs. Glad you made that bend and the Give Way and didn’t have to switch to off road at that point. Cheers.

[@tolob]

Jeeesuz Chops! That was surely a brown trousers moment.I would’ve had to change more than just batteries!

[@whizzbang8023]

Wow, what a code brown moment. Nicely handled though and as a new rider it was pretty educational. Great video as always.

[@pricklypunter]

Oops, missed the sign, we've all been there, thank the motorcycle gods for ABS. I swear I could hear you farting for 10 mins afterwards ;>) Pretty much the same thing happened to me on my second last ride of the season, going round a tight right hander. Having completely missed the sign and coming in hot, I went across the road, through a gate and into a muddy field. I've never been a Duck fan tbh, they always seemed a bit too expensive to me compared to what the competition were putting out, but that is a beautiful, well built machine I must admit. That roar as you roll on is almost hypnotic. I'm glad you didn't get hurt bud 👍

[@simonbowen6653]

Had to laugh, I know that piece of road where you had your clenched moment. A guy in a Beemer overtook me there, couldn't make the bend and went straight on down the one way the wrong at ridiculous speed. Merry Christmas Chopsy.🎅

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah it's a bit of a dangerous junction that one. I bet theirs quite afew acidents there... Me nearly included!! 😄👍

[@IanTed]

Observation Mr. Chops, we’ve all been there but you kept off the grass, god bless abs and Brembos. Too much power for me but testing the V2S soon, she’s a bit lower too as I’ve got short hairy legs. Glad you enjoyed ‘Doodle Door’🤪, love that coast.

[@Ctaff63]

Brilliant review👏. That junction , let’s call it a moment 😳😂. We’ve all had em, an unexpected right hander on the ride up from Grasse (south of France as I’m sure your aware) rings a bell heading back from Bol Dor many moons ago . Great vid, great content as always . You always make me laugh out loud 😂👍. I really can’t wait to get my pikes peak version in next few months. Looking forward to seeing what you think of pikes peak when you take it out. I’m going to watch this vid again now. You’ve made my day Chops. 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@JIMMER15]

[@LambChopRides]

Yes Dan very nasty indeed. Not much warning it's coming either until your there. Defo needs to be some slow signs or yellow banding on the approach. Thought I must have missed signs on the approach but rewatching I didn't

[@keyboarddancers7751]

I bet all the other reviewers will be ribbing you about that turtlehead moment at 16:34! Possibly the ultimate real world ABS KZbin test. Looked almost identical to what happened to me in a car about 10 years ago. One lives and one learns!!

[@blueyondermoto]

Bit of a hike down from the car park. We did it in 2020 post lockdown. Loved the review and the oops moment. I'm one of those shorter guys and seat is the same on the XR, not comfy for us shorties either.

That will bee coming this year if it ever dries up around here. OH, great handling of that beast in the turn that made me clench up a bit. Whoo buddy!!

[@checker3694]

Absolutely fabulous review, so true when you said this engine is wasted not being in the street fighter V4 ,how many tracks in UK where you can bring these 200bhp plus bikes on straights for any length of time to peak power, never mind on the road. Lowering the power on this engine, opening up midrange and low end, so engine can be enjoyed, even lower it to 150bhp then it would be fabulous. Torque everywhere.

Carpal tunnel syndrome you meant. The only two occasions I've experienced that was after riding a guy's BSA Lightning 650 with clapped out main bearings and, much more frustratingly, a first year model of Yamaha I bought in 1983, namely a shaft driven XJ900 of 853cc, which left me with numb fingers at anything above 80mph for a longish spell. The subsequent nearer to the actual 900cc was reportedly silky smooth. As it happens, that bike almost killed me with an almost lock to lock tank slapper at 120mph, due to a design flaw of nosecone fitment. Still here, despite cervical myelopathy and a bloody stomach ulcer. Old age cometh not alone, as they say.

[@ginoruggiero7616]

Your all wrong on the Streetfighter V4S , I own one, as well as a M1200 R and an M1200S. Although the SF V4s is a digital bike, Ducati engineered the fastest most comfortable naked machine, that will go up against any other Race rep / naked made on the street, its that simple. Its also the best looking bike made in the world. It would not be better suited with the V4 Grand tourismo motor . Ive got 11,000 miles on my SF V4 S, and I have no complaints. All in all I have 8 motorcycles in my stable, from a big block Busa to an 84 GPz 1100, so I know what Im talking about. Great test on the Multi !

[@chadgruver4423]

Great review! I believe this machine is serious competition for the GS 1250. BMW better take notice and stretch those service intervals. I mean 6k oil change and 12k valve service, I'd be doing two oil changes a year at $150 u.s. dollars each and one valve check at $600 roughly annually. I just priced a 2022 GS 1250 and out the door here in the US it's just shy of $32k fully kitted out, bars, bags, trunk, gps (which is a $1,000 add on)... So the Ducati is very competitively priced and comes with much of the kit already included. BMW need to get those service intervals to 10k oil and 24k valves.

[@oldtimer3824]

Neither a new GS or V4 S is for a man on a budget, money cant matter if you want a new top tier machine. Used Vstrom 1000 is ideal budget machine without any electronic gizmos.
