Riding with Radar! 2021 Ducati Multistrada V4 S Review | Daily Rider

[@RevZilla]

Read Zack’s first-ride article on Common Tread: rvz.la/3dlvy0P

[@WickedCerberus]

When is the new Rebel 1100 getting a daily ride?

[@sganzerlag]

Yeah, please review the Rebel 1100.

[@RemboUSMC]

Did they turn the radar on just for the demo? Not available to be activated yet in the US so I am told by the dealer.

[@Roy_Godiksen]

I always wonder: How would the Ninja1000/Z1000SX stack up to the Versys 650 LT on your board? I ride a 2018 Z1000SX myself, but i have never ridden the Versys 650 (i have ridden the Z650 though, and i love it). MCN has for years given the "All Around Bike Of The Year" award to the Z1000SX/Ninja1000, so it is a legitimate question.

[@stephenjpauls]

My Panigale V4 has a heated seat too... I just wish I could turn it off.

[@SauravSingh-wj5pf]

"This might be a 45 minute long episode" Don't worry Zack, don't you worry at all.

[@thinkdunson]

you just let me worry about that zack. you bring me the content, and i'll decide what to do with it. now if we could only convince the manufacturers to let zack and ari both have a loaner at the same time, so they can do a daily rider twofer.

[@lovelessissimo]

Just 42 minutes.

[@camt2626]

Im noticing a theme. Zack loves sport touring/adventure bikes for daily riders. I think you should rank the V-Strom 1050 sometime soon.

[@winstoncundiff]

Amen!

[@arjenbootsma6881]

These kind of bikes are indeed very good for every day life, these bikes have a very broad spread of practicality and usability. I own a Kawasaki Versys 1000, and it's very good for multi-day touring, running errands, commuting, leisurely rides to nowhere, an Iron Butt ride, etc.

[@gnumel]

I can rank it from my garage: bloody excellent every day ride. :)

[@angelocardoc]

Tracer 900 GT

[@gnumel]

@@angelocardoc ah ha, that is my previous bike, just changed it for the Strom :) They both get 10/10 as daily rides.

[@jothain]

I'm usually not that into electronics on bikes, but that blind spot indicator is really nice feature and all bikes should have it.

[@jasonjayalap]

We're still working on getting rid of flimsy, small mirrors.

[@jothain]

@@jasonjayalap Even more the reason 🙂

[@darylclifford]

Car owners don’t think a lot about having it, but on a bike it’s almost a game changer. You’d still shoulder check, but with more confidence

[@okrigerx]

Check a 3rd party system called ride vision, not sure if it’s available in US thought

[@jamesoren7238]

To be honest most of the electronics turn me off, and I've literally never needed a blind spot detector thanks to the ability to move my head, but it's one of those things that in spite of what auto makers make out, is insanely easy and cheap to install. I don't want any eletronics in the mirror/stalk though lol. but yeah, a few cheap sensor around the bike and some LED's in the dash isn't going to cost much or have any impact on people who don't want to use it ... so long as you can turn it off.

[@RikkyTang]

That was the Gold Standard of first ride videos! Also, a great introduction to the tech that many of us will probably have on our bikes in 10-15 years time.

[@kacperk886]

Bring back the Cool vs Expensive chart!

[@coolhandchunk]

Ditto

[@Jagknorr]

This! We know opinions are different for each person (in terms of coolness) but its in relation to what YOUR opinion was so its easier to gauge. It was fun! Bring it back!

[@anthonysilvestri4946]

I actually found that systems to be very enigmatic? LOL

[@darylclifford]

This bike could be in both sections. Cool AND expensive!!

[@jamesoren7238]

I feel like the old Top Gear rules apply - it is a very cool bike, but it will be made uncool by the average owner

[@willyray5976]

The radar cruise control looks like an amazing feature! Hopefully that technology trickles down to more affordable motorcycles in the future.

[@MVFRNinja]

I will never, EVER, get tired of Zack giggling like a child while doing wheelies and backing in a nearly 600lb motorcycle. I gotta hand it to Ducati on that engine and finally getting rid of the pointless desmo system and hugely improving the service intervals. I know they still use desmo in most of their other bikes, but a big, adventure/touring motorcycle NEEDS those long service intervals and it was a brave step to bring this engine to market. This is an amazing machine, and an amazing motorcycle no matter how you feel about it.

[@darylclifford]

I thought I’d skip through most of a 40 minute review, but watched every bit! This bike’s truly remarkable! It’s almost in a class of its own.

[@mriegger]

Its a great day when you get a new video from both Zack Courts and 44Teeth.

[@alexyleigh]

Heated seats on a Ducati might be the most redundant feature ever.

[@jsboening]

Yes. It’s always a relief to fuel up the tank in the summer. At least my nuts get cooled off for 20 minutes or so.

[@ksheehan330]

OMG THAT’S FUNNY! They do run hot! (But not THAT hot). Crack me up tho.

[@PaulsMotoZen]

The giggles tell me that you are having way to much fun. :)

[@Lexlugr]

Probably one of the best motorcycle reviews I have ever seen. Literally getting a complete functional reference for the thing....other than, y'know... actual seat time. Great work Zack

[@Caffeineracer]

Zack's got a thing that's called radar love.

[@darylclifford]

Showing my age, but I remember ‘Radar Love’ being over-played on radio. In fact I think it was on AM not FM radio too!

[@ksheehan330]

“I’ve been driving all night, my hands wet on the wheel…Its a half past 4 and I’m shiftin’ gear…ONE MORE RADAR LOVER GONE!” I’m feeling it baby!

[@michaelcarroll2447]

Despite this being about the V4S specifically, it helped me decide on getting a Multistrada 950S (currently in the works).

[@thor8640]

Mine is almost at my dealer, can't ride it for another 6 weeks anyway due to temperature and snow but I am very excited to get the bike. Ordered the day after it was released.

[@wkinnie5234]

Was that a Royal Enfield tease for next ride?

[@scottstetson2879]

Hi Zach, I watch a lot of your reviews and often think, I need to tell Zach he is doing a fantastic job. Well, I am telling you now. Good job 👍🏻

[@TiniFugative]

Loved this episode Zack, Any chance of a Desert Sled Daily Ride in the future?

[@ShipReK66]

spoiler alert.....for some people

[@TwinGunner72]

The constant giggles and sheer enjoyment of the Ducati speaks volumes above specs and features. The sheer joy this bike brought is enough to justify it's top ranking on the leaderboard 👍

[@Supperup40672]

That adaptive cruise control and blind spot warning on a motorcycle is absolutely crazy to me such amazing features on a motorcycle

[@delararesadv9140]

Adaptive cruise control in cars are amazing, look forward to more bikes having the system 👍🏻

I give you major credit, no way I could trust the electronics like you. I've seen The Terminator way too many times.

[@jalex19100]

Great write-up and video, as usual from Zack. Actually surprised that it is living up to the specs. Ducati really stepped it up, as a road bike (with very light off-road use) at least. Very impressive bike, Ducati - I honestly can’t believe you pulled this off as well as you did! I think this makes the whole motorcycle industry better... I’m excited to see this tech trickle down to lighter, more efficient bikes. 10/10 giggle rating.

Be careful and take the time now to develop strong riding skills. They will save your life. And the r6 is fantastic, I got one last year as an downgrade from a tuono v4. Much more fun, and less stressful to ride. The R6 is more bike than the majority of us will ever be able to use 100% especially on the street. Enjoy it!

@@JustinHeilman Try a more upright bike and you will never look back bro. We all make the same dumb mistake and buy the sexy 600 supersport bikes, but they are track machines, not street machines. If all you do is ride around town for 30 min trying to look cool, then it's ok i guess. But if you start doing real riding for hours at a time you will realise how stupid your bike is. You can get more useable power, comfort and fun out of a more upright bike, especially with all the other bike choices available today. Good luck , stay safe.

The only ride where Zack had to twist the throttle less and worry more about the palm and feet hovering over the levers. Lol love the review mate!

[@angelocardoc]

One of your best reviews. I like it when you explain the features of a motorcycle. I'd like to see more indepth explainations of the mechanicles and why they are good? For example...why are Brembo calipers better than Nissin, or why the Goldwings new front suspension set-up is better than the previous set-up. You might need Ari's expertise. You and Ari would make a great duo for the Daily Rider show. Doing side by side comparissons of similar bikes, like the Tracer 900 and the Turismo Veloce. This segment of motorcycles is highly under rated. I call it the 'urban adventure' type of motorcycles. Perdomanitly street orientated but also able to tackle some urban terrian, like hopping over a curb or easily crossing railroad tracks and pot-holes..

[@jamesoren7238]

20% how the bike rides, 80% explaining all the features ... I think that sums up the multistrada and it's target demographic fairly well.

[@uscscjohnson]

Your comment is a perfect blend of insightful and oblivious. Yes, I think the Multistrata appeals to people who want "features." They want a Ducati. They want speed and performance. They want handling. They want "Superbike" tech. They don't want to hunker down into a sport-bike pose. They want performance and a style Harley can't give them along with features that help them to enjoy that spirited performance without killing themselves. They want to utility and everyday ease of the Versys 650 with LOTS more power AND safety farkles that allow them to have a faster more capable bike than a 650 with more safety and aids than a 650. Sounds good to me.

[@dsm02c]

@@uscscjohnson you nailed it. Nobody buying this bike needs it, they want it. Bike blows my mind, adaptive cruise and blind spot. Wonder if it gets head shake, I had a 1290 SAR and without a steering stabilizer it sucked on the highway.

[@laz1go286]

Best test ride so far Zack! The amount of laughter describes this bike completely. All it really needs is a little tweak of the radar to detect speed traps and then it's perfect 😉

[@roverjohn]

The heck with detecting radar, I'd rather jam it.

[@Jagknorr]

I own a versys 650 and LOVE IT. But watching this video and knowing your comparing a 9k ish bike to a 25k ish bike....honestly the Ducati better win LOL. The versys is fantastic but this is everything that bike is but amped up to 11 (because of the technology cost). Its such a huge gap. Like a honda civic si vs a lambo. They do the same stuff, but they don’t do the same stuff :D

If a motorcycle makes you laugh under acceleration, than it's a strong buy 😉. Nice review.

[@ppdwizeguy]

Great video! And I believe this is the first Duc I'd ever consider owning (if I could afford it). The service intervals are incredible alone.

[@fernominal]

Ducati might suggest to have extended service intervals, but these bikes have a wet clutch. Which means; the dirt/debris coming from the normal wear & tear of everyday riding, goes in the oil and distributed throughout the engine! Just that suggested service interval, would make the engine, wear out faster! (Shorter engine life) Paying the retail price, (25k) means; you have the cash to do services more frequently! Make a good thing last!

[@ashokparmar5580]

Just bought this bike - your review was critical in me getting over the fence line! I watched a bench other - this was so much more helpful! thank you!

[@jeckyll71]

Always enjoy the reviews. This is why we need to have both an overall and a 'value' or 'reasonableness' bar instead of just a stack, because that thing will not be a better daily rider for the average person due to the cost. :)

[@themillionairebiker9381]

Great review Zack. The radar is nice, but I feel like the blind spot monitor is a lot more useful. Sounds like the price and range are the only two negatives. I'd love to ride this back to back with the BMW. I wonder why they made the GPS so complicated🤔

[@thinkdunson]

i have a manual vw gti and the cruise does not mind me shifting. and the vw adaptive cruise will go at least all the way down to around 5 mph, that i've seen personally going through a crowded off ramp. i don't know if it would actually come to a complete stop, i've never tested that.

Personally wouldn't want to pay for some of that adaptive tech and any maintenance/repair gotchas. Motorcycles aren't that type of thing for me. Too risky to get comfortable. Gotta build in habits and always follow them.

[@boonboom3528]

I couldn't agree more, I'd still look over the shoulder for blind spots and I'm always going slightly faster than traffic than to leisurely follow or maintain the distance with the car ahead of me. Cruise control, for me, is usually off when there's any sort of traffic with my fingers on the clutch and ready to brake or quickly accelerate. I wouldn't ever want to get too complacent by relying too much on the radar to maintain distance with vehicle ahead of me. I love cruise control, of course, but personally don't see a need for radar on my rides.

[@Jovi_97]

I’m not going to fully disagree with you. But, I think it’s great tech and really helps push it into a safer place for the people that want that. They once said the same thing for cars. But cars have never been safer, and I absolutely Love ACC in my own car. But I get what you mean. Gotta stay extra alert no matter what safety thing you have on your motorcycle.

[@bernhtp]

Good review and I see what you like, but what we want from a sport-tourer are different. For my mountain twisty tours such as my tours through the Alps and Sierras and the upcoming 9-day June tour through the Pyrenees, the S1000XR is still my gold standard, especially the new generation. The XR is lighter, nimbler, and has better integrated luggage, electronics (e.g., nav/app), etc. It's better in all the ways important to me and this purpose. But there are a few new features the Multi has that are valuable such as the heated seat. The blind-spot warning is nice, though I keep my mirrors adjusted more outward so it doesn't benefit me much. I totally don't care about the active cruise control as I rarely use the regular cruise control on the BMWs I own or otherwise ride (S1000RR, S1000XR, R1250GS). The Multi V4S seems more aimed at the GS (and KTM Superduke GT), especially given the 19" front. I don't do offroad riding and so care less about this category than the XR's ability to delight through the hard twisties on long tours. For this latter purpose, do you prefer the V4 S or the 1260 S?

[@gix40]

Zack I want a separate video on the Nav system inwhich it covers the whole screen. I have a 2017 1200s Multistrata. Maybe upgrade or not? I ride sport touring but spirited. Fuel range is a issue.
