New Multistrada V4S Bike Day (Full + 180 BHP)

[@jamieclarke7]

Lovely bike! Hope you’re still enjoying it. Thought I recognised some of the roads, looks like you’re only round the corner from me. Ordered a V4S full from Preston to replace my V2S. Get it on Wednesday. Can’t wait!

[@stevesherlockrides]

Where are you..let's catch up. What have you ordered?

[@gvnnbnm]

What a beautiful machine!!! well done!

[@AntonyKing459]

Beautiful bike Steve love the colour as well. The spoked wheels really make a difference. Ride safe pal.

[@stevesherlockrides]

Cheers pal, not looking forward to cleaning them though lol

[@Sion_Jones]

Stunning bike. Looking forward to seeing you have lots of adventures on this one 👍

[@stevesherlockrides]

Cheers

[@juliemcgillivray3394]

What a lovely bike. Well done. 🎉

[@whittlad]

top lad and congrats on the new addition

[@stevesherlockrides]

A major shift from the GT, just hope it's a good decision.

[@LickyDischarge]

I’m extremely envious! Planning to swing my leg over one at the London Excel show tomorrow 😊. Totally agree on the cruise control quick shifter thing as well. Enjoy 😎👍🏻👍🏻

[@stevesherlockrides]

Leave your credit card at home lol. It feels like a small bike when riding it but big when sat static. What you riding now?

[@MarkATaylor]

Looks and sounds epic, beautiful bike. Very tempted

[@stevesherlockrides]

Tbh I'm still getting used to it but have a trip to the Picos, Portugal and then the spanish interior in May and can't wait.

[@IanTed]

Love my V2S, so it looks like the V4S next time👍enjoy they are brilliant bikes, handle like a dream and I used to be a GS fan boy. PS. Used to live in Chipping, the Forest was my backyard😀rural Northumberland now, yes I’m spoilt. Even better a new Ducati franchise is opening in the north east.

[@leeh6816]

Great choice. Spoked wheels are perfect for it. Enjoy 👍

[@dalehawkes1698]

Beautiful bike Steve colour is fantastic enjoy every mile on it 🎉🎉🎉

[@stevesherlockrides]

Cheers Dale

[@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes]

That's the best V4 Multi I've seen yet, not a fan of the looks normally, but that is very nice, might have to get One for myself, after having had 2 of the 1260s on my channel, plus the 1200s DVT 😁

[@stevesherlockrides]

I'll have to subscribe and follow you. It rides as good as it looks. Glad I went grey now but at the time wasn't sure

[@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes]

@@stevesherlockrides I want yours! looks as though I might to start saving again 🤣

[@geoffsmith1616]

I’ve got one there fantastic bikes such good fun , squeeze the front brake twice to disengage the hill hold manually .. 👍 enjoy the bike mate great great choice

[@RobbieBLFC1]

Brilliant Steve, lovely ooking bike 👌🏻 hope to see you soon.

[@Amnirex]

Great looking bike that love the colour option. Is that Dennis from Ride Ability think i met him once at The Gasket.

[@stevesherlockrides]

It could be him but don't know about Ride Ability sorry. Ps are you Big Steve who knows Luke?

[@BIGGGESTAL]

Im a little jealous as I couldn't afford the FULL exhaust and decat. I have a few extras on mine. Carbon rear hugger, carbon chain guard, carbon heel guards, carbon heat shield, pike peak carbon beak. Tinted MRA screen and deflectors. I hope you love yours as much as I do mine. Im 3 years and 23000 miles in, and I'm off to Spain in two weeks. 😂

[@stevesherlockrides]

But at least you love it

[@davidberry2410]

Congratulations Steve ! Enjoy her

[@stevesherlockrides]

Thank you

[@ItsAllJustBollox]

Good choice you wont be disappointed 🎉

[@lovegar]

Congrats on the new bike looks very nice. Would love a Pikes Peak but stupid money. I'm waiting on 1390 GT now if there is gonna be such a thing

[@stevesherlockrides]

I was a minute away from buying a PP but thought leave it a couple of years and maybe the RS lol

[@martinnewman1967]

Hi Steve , how did you find the smoked screen extra protection etc. , was it the Ducati OEM touring screen with the letterbox in the same as the standard one you had?

[@stevesherlockrides]

Mine is the standard clear screen. It's not smoked. Does it look smoked?

[@martinnewman1967]

No it doesn’t look smoked , there was an earlier comment advising yout to add a smoked touring screen , I'm sure you responded saying yours had a light smoke, in later videos they all look clear and standard size not the taller height touring item, was just unsure if you had fitted one and didn’t like it , thanks for reply 😊

[@stevesherlockrides]

@martinnewman1967 I did investigate but couldn't find one

[@martinnewman1967]

Ah , I see , there are so many choices out there , Ducati, Puig, WRS, Ducabike. I'll see how I get on with standard 1st 😊😊 thanks.

[@stevesherlockrides]

I've just ordered a Pikes Peak that comes with a smoked screen. The lengths I go to to get a smoked screen hey 😆

[@garytaylor7611]

Hi Steve can you tell me how you find the range you're getting from the Ducati ? I'm thinking of buying one put people are telling me it's very thirsty . Many thanks Gary.

[@BIGGGESTAL]

It is very thirsty if you rag it. Taking it easy I get 40mpg +. Track days I get sub 30. Smiles per miles is the best ever. Expect 180 - 200 miles per tank, after that I'm due a stop anyway.

[@Otto-AutoPilot]

Congratulations.

[@matsrekdal3065]

Get the original touring screen from Ducati, had it on mine. 40 mm higher, and looks the same as the standard one.

[@stevesherlockrides]

Just ordered the smoked tourismo 2 I think it was called

[@matsrekdal3065]

@@stevesherlockrides Mine was 'light smoke'. Very nice, with decent visibility thorugh the screen.

[@inked-96]

I'd be scared of anyone breathing on it😂. She's a beauty.

[@stevesherlockrides]

She is awesome. Had my first proper blast last Sunday, wait for the vid as an amazing rideout with pals. V fast!!!! We were smashing guys on thou sports bikes.:-)

[@tobanhoffmann8347]

put the tinted screen on but lose the fork socks, they make it look a bit slutty. The hard panniers are Touratech ducati branded, but they make smaller size hard boxes that i think might look a bit more executive, not a fan of the plastic cases. those handguards look good on that model, they seem to suit it for some reason, it's very stealthy looking, very nice

[@stevesherlockrides]

They don't dona ducati smoked screen the same size. You can have either PP spec or the tourer size.

[@andyholmes999]

So, cherry flavoured pipe tobacco review next?

[@stevesherlockrides]

After the pink slippers Andy.... can you lend me yours

[@stocks7765]

Inhale thé sale singe March,I want my gs 1250 back

Interesting disclaimer on the 180HP Akrapovic exhaust on the Ducati configuration website ... seemingly UK is a 'lucky' country, where it's road legal. ............................ Attention The indication of the homologation of an exhaust/accessory in a particular country is restricted to that country only. For the rest of the world, the same exhaust/accessory is to be considered “racing” and therefore designed for racing vehicles used exclusively in closed circuits. It is forbidden by law to use the motorcycle with this exhaust/accessory installed outside of closed circuits, and it is therefore not permitted to install the exhaust/accessory on motorcycles intended for road use. The photos in the accessories section may refer to prototypes that could undergo modifications, even significant ones, during industrialization and are for information and reference purposes only, so they are in no way binding for Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A.,- a single-member company, subject to the Management and Coordination of Audi AG.

[@stevesherlockrides]

Lucky for us in the UK

[@twozup1098]

I had one of these out from Ducati Glasgow for a day. Honestly? I thought it was shit.

[@stevesherlockrides]

Everyone to their own hey. That's why there is more than 1 bike on the market. Enjoy whatever you're riding pal

[@JakeStrada]

The 1260s is a better bike

[@stevesherlockrides]

Why?

[@JakeStrada]

@@stevesherlockrides The 1260s and the V4 are completely different bikes, the 1260s being alot more sporty and fun (IMO) the V4 is great if your touring europe, but its not an everyday bike, its more like a GS. Don't get me wrong your bike is stunning

[@stevesherlockrides]

Hi Jake I get what you say. I've always ridden sports biased bikes. The v4s however if ridden calmly is ace butccan also come alive at higher revs. I'm not wedded to it but hoping the best

[@fiveplates]

Nice bike? no shit Sherlock.

[@stevesherlockrides]

Thank you. Off to the Picos next week and Portugal for 2 weeks to see how it performs
