After lusting Multistradas for a number of years, I succumbed to the temptation last fall when a 2023 Rally arrived at a nearby dealership. Such an amazing motorcycle that in my opinion would be close to perfect if Carplay was in play. A previously owner Africa Twin Adventure Sports spoiled my with Carplay and I passed on a V4 in 2022, hoping that Ducati would heed to the Sygic complaints from owners. I did buy a Carpuride for my Tiger 900 Rally Pro, which works well, but still would prefer avoiding the add on. Thanks for your vids Chris! Keep up the good work.

Nice honest review. I may have commented on your paint/decal scheme in one of your other videos, it looks awesome. Be interesting if Ducati, and other manufacturers, will simply have their bikes work with Apple CarPlay (or the Android version like the Goldwing does) which would make life easier. The low gas mileage is a bit shocking, but 95% of Adventure riders are usually not that far from a gas station. And once you reach a certain age you're going to be stopping every hour and a half to take a break anyways.

I have the 2023 Multistrada Rally, mostly used for sports touring with some gravel in rural areas. Love the Multistrada!!!! My first big bike over 1000cc!! I was parked next to a V4 and we were comparing the bikes and it looks like Ducati made some slight changes to the evaporation canister. I wasn't aware of the issue and the V4 rider mentioned he had some problems with the evap canister. He looked at my Rally and said it appeared the evap canister was slightly different. I haven't had any issues, but had read about overfilling the tank causing vapor lock so I don't try to fill too full. Plus with the 7.9 gallon tank, I have 250-300 miles per tank depending on type of riding so i don't have to fill to the rim. Glad to hear that even after 20,000 miles you still love the bike.

@4KMotoring Ай бұрын

It's great to hear you're getting such good mileage from your rally, I have been toying with the idea of getting the large gas tank for my v4s. $250 to 300 miles per tank seems perfect for some of the road trips I take. I wouldn't be surprised if Ducati did make iterative changes to the evap canister, they are continuously improving their products as they go which is something I'm not upset about. Glad you're enjoying your Mult, thanks for watching!

@sgomez3047 Ай бұрын

Chris thanks for the vid.. I love the Ducs. I have a 1200S Monster and love it. I looked at the Multi to add to the table but decided against it and went with the GSA... Because of all the BS issues that you have with yours and honestly. Ducati doesn't give a **** so...I went with the Beamer. I disagree with the heat dumping on my leg, and...they go 300k miles with no problem and I can do the valve adjustment myself.... The 1200s dumps the heat on my right leg and that's another reason I decided for the GSA..... BTW, I was at GP on the monster at Duc Island all 3 days. Lunch rocked on the 3rd day. Maverick rocked it and Marc sucked!! Enjoyed your vid and keep em coming!!

@regulatorg573 Ай бұрын

Great video! I bought my multi in March and love it! You’re right…That V4 is the crown jewel! Working on getting the Road 6s next. I’m still debating if I should get the full exhaust. Like the idea but very expensive! Keep that V4 content coming! Thanks!

@4KMotoring Ай бұрын

My only regret with the exhaust is not doing it sooner, the little bump and power is nice, but it's that noise that makes all the difference. There's nothing like this screaming V4 and the little pops you get with the quick shifter. In my opinion, you can probably save a little cash and get a catless b-pipe to shave off some weight and get better sound for less than the full factory race exhaust

Just got a 24' rally. I'm so happy to hear the bike has been holding up well. I was actually in the market back in 22' but i went with the BMW GS due to their heritage.

@4KMotoring Ай бұрын

The GS certainly has been around a while, but the Multi has existed since 2003! The generational refinement is certainly present!

@itsboomtime Ай бұрын

@4KMotoring Yup the multistrada as a bike has been around for a while. I had a 2006 multistrada 1000s. The v4 grand tourismo compared to the bmw liquid cooled boxer was definitely newer all around in comparison.

Reasonable and justified recommendations! I heard that Ducati is working on its connect app to get rid of it always staying on top. I use Ducati connect only as a backup. I am delighted with my 2023 V4 Rally.

@4KMotoring 27 күн бұрын

Unfortunately I've heard that the behavior of the app is directly due to requirements from Bosch, who makes the module Ducati uses. I would not expect to see any significant changes in this generation. On a side note, what fuel range are you seeing in the real world with the Rally?

@hansjorgmoser1371 27 күн бұрын

@@4KMotoring Re Ducati connect, I guess that Ducati tries hard because the situation sucks. Here is my consumption data: My usual range when topped up is around 280 miles. Max. range so far was 320 miles. My typical consumption is 47 - 50 mpg when riding at 3000 - 5000 rpm overland at speeds up to 68 mph (max. overland speed limit in Italy, France, Switzerland is lower). Very often, in road conditions in central Europe (narrow, twisty, small towns), my typical touring speed lays between 15 - 40 mph depending on road conditions. Very often the Rally runs on 2 cylinders in these conditions. This figure gets up to 39 mpg on highways. It is of course possible to get the consumption way up when revving higher. I do this short term when overtaking or on highways which I try to avoid. On high alpine roads (Switzerland, France, Austria) my consumption is more on the 47mpg end. I am delighted with the consumption I see!

Great review 👍👍. You have far more kit on your bike than mine, but I think I get slightly better fuel range. I also found the full akro exhaust improved the range slightly. 100% agree with you on needing a taller 6th gear, it’s probably my only complaint except maybe for the heat. Of the three tyre types, which do you think are the best? I think it’s an incredible bike and have never regretted buying it. The amazing thing is when I tested other competitors I found them “asthmatic” when passing at high speed up long hills, especially the GS, but this doesn’t even feel the hills 😃

@4KMotoring Ай бұрын

The tire debate is a difficult one to qualify. The Anakee Road tires really feel like a mix between the stock pirelli's and the road 6 tires. If you stay 99% on road with nothing but light dirt or gravel roads, The road 6 absolutely brings this bike to life. If you still want to maintain some slight off-roading capability, the Anakee Road get my vote.

@alanprice9938 Ай бұрын

@@4KMotoring I never take it off road, got a 701 and FE350 for that, but I just really don’t like the pattern on the road 6……the anakee looks so much cooler 😃😃

@4KMotoring Ай бұрын

🤣🤣 I'd be lying if I said that wasn't a consideration I made too. I've used the Road 6 on my work BMW R1250RT-P and did some impressive off-roading with it. Realistically it's probably the best tire out there for most people. That said, the Anakee Road shares a lot of the same construction, and I've been pretty happy with it as well

Thank you for the video. I think you raised a lot of valid points especially the rear end of the motorcycle. Where did you find this stuff you put on ? I thought that was interesting thank you, maybe somebody at Ducati will listen. I too am an ASV lever fan. I guess I won’t be buying anyone. I have a 2024 model. I came from 2016 pikes Peak model. I missed a little start up button on the right hand side to turn the bike on. Just below the start kill button. I really dislike this switch by the handlebar. It’s not user-friendly to reach for me. Another thing I wish this bike was able to do is GP shift or reverse shift. I also wish that the heated grips were standard. Again, thanks for the video. Maybe somebody will listen.! And likewise, I also don’t use any of the BS apps, useless garbage. I did just install the xt2 today. I can’t understand why Honda has a Goldwing with Apple CarPlay and no other motorcycle does,….. I think the new road glide does maybe? Interesting you bring up gas mileage. On my way able to get 173 miles on the tank. I made it home with 5 miles to spare.

@4KMotoring Ай бұрын

About a year ago I posted this video about adding the reflective vinyl to the back of the bike, I'll post the video link here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o8d1a5t8p73LmGw.html I'm glad you brought up the switch gear, I also greatly missed that button when I first got this V4, it was so convenient and I think a big miss for Ducati not carrying it through to this model. 173 miles seems very "on-brand" for the Multi. Glad you're enjoying it!

You talk several times about rear cylinder deactivation but from all my research only the Rally does that, the V4S and V4S Grand Tour don't do it.

@4KMotoring 15 күн бұрын

The V4s and the V4s Grand tour do it only when stopped, the rally is the only one to my knowledge capable of deactivating the rear cylinders while moving. It is helpful in all cases though.

This or a 2015 Multistrada DVT😂😂😂

@4KMotoring Ай бұрын

I had a 2015 DVT for a few years before this, so I can definitely offer my perspective. The 2015 is undoubtedly cheaper at this point, so if budget is your ultimate concern then your decision is made for you. If the V4 is within your financial range, everything is better refined and better performing.

@@4KMotoring I have watched all of your videos about the MS 1200s and i am buying a new bike soon after a long time not riding. I found this Multistrada 1200S 2015 with 3000 Miles on the clock. The bike had 1 owner and has had the yearly service at ducati registered. The bike is going for $12K including all the options and luggage he had with it. He literatly ticked every option. My main concern about this bike is reliabilty and resale value down the future. There have been cases where people can't seem to trade their Multistrada's in for ''fear'' of maintance or the expense of it or could it be because of the V4? I definetly want to sell the bike later if it doesn't fit my need or trade it in, but because it is a 2015/2016 i am also fearfull about not being able to trade it in or sell it. I am really itching to ride and i can not make my mind up. Also, i have been looking at Hypermotard 950 2022 for the same price. I don't ride often, only with nice weather. I also don't do many long trips, but i like a comfortable and fast back. I have test ridden them both and i like them both and i can only choose 1. What do you think is more realistic for the longer term?

Not a Ducati. Ducati said goodbye to their own ID when they began to phase out twin. Ducati = twin and single swing-arm.

@4KMotoring Ай бұрын

That's the same line of thinking that led Harley to building tricycles instead of competitive motorcycles. Ducati is performance and innovation. They are dominating MotoGP and WSBK and they brought that tech to market. That's Ducati.
