I have got my Rally in April and since then took it around Italy including Sicily and Sardinia as well as Corse in France. Max. average fuel consumption was 5.7 ltr/100 km which I found to be very very good. All this thanks to the rear cylinder deactivation feature. Overall, this bike is a fantastic long distance tourer. Its a mighty machine when you first step on to it but after a few kilometers you feel how much confidence the bike provides. The fear of dropping the bike when moving it around disappears after a few weeks.

Just traded my Multistrada V4S for the Rally, it’s the best bike I’ve ever had and looks very SP in the black/red-Alu.

Great review. Slick edit too 🤙🏻

Your videos are fabulously informative and super-slick. Thank you so much!

That's right, the only thing holding me back from choosing this bike is the price.

There's a reason the Danish police ordered 250 of these stallions for delivery in the next 7 years.

Impressive engineering and the price to go with it🙂. That said too heavy and bulky for my use whether on or off the pavement. I am a year on with the DesertX and it has proved to be a great all-rounder.

I can always appreciate a great bike like this.

Shaft drive would have put it over the top.

Awesome bike! But what I expect to hear soon is!! Could be a dream .. but why not!! It's.. DUCATI DesertX V4 Rally Sabage .. or something like this! I would jump on it right away! Letting my KTM 1290 Super Adventure R' behine! 🎉

I had front radar on a ktm 1290S, quickly turned it off. I dont sit in traffic and I dont train myself to rely on systems rather than old fashioned attention to whats happening around me. Sure, it has some value, but my 23 model GS Rallye doesnt have it and I do not miss it.

We got all the review kit specs and features in the March reviews. You’re supposed to add something new

I feel like this bike is a bit...cynical? In that, its perfect on paper, of course reviewers will love it for all its stat stuffing and "all-things" appeal, but for me this would be a nightmare real life bike. Expensive to buy, expensive to own, wouldn't dare drop it off-road, would never use an ounce of its power because its very illegal, can't really change anything about it post-purchase...just not practical at all! I understand the general super car mentality of build showcase bikes to drive demand within a premium sector...but that market/buyer/hype machine...is it really beneficial in any way to the rest of us?

All the negative comments posted on hear are from people who either cant afford one. Or worse have never ridden one. Trust me test ride one. King regards from Catalonia!

Love no soft limiter.

Fantastic but expensive. Any upgrade on V2 engine?? Please give your thoughts'

I think this bike is awesome except for the spoked wheels YUK! Best wheels on a Duke are the Diamond edged ones on the Diavel Bob did a video on the bike, after the V4S panigale these are my two favourite bikes Keep up the great work on the videos friend 👍

that reaction system doesn’t sound like it’s a good idea imo. after years of running you know the two front cylinders will wear out so ones than the two rear. common sense. if the system happens to fail, you could get stuck with half an engine. this would be a deal breaker if i was concerned this bike. the automotive industry have engines that completely shut down at a red light, and automatically start as you press the gas pedal. this is undoubtedly the worst idea ever implemented into an internal combustion engine. other than that the multi-strada is one awesome machine. looks good to. and 170 HP, holy crap. it’s a beast !

Forget the 1300 GS, I want to see a S 1000 XR Rally.

I miss the old deep sound of a twin., great bike though. Probably my next purchase.

Lovely bike, but really don't get the mega adventure bike off road thing ? My pikes peak 1200 multistrada is still Fab love the L twin. More than enough power two up fully loaded and high 40s mpg to. Just enough tech for me skyhook is Fab switch between sport on touring . Really don't need urban or off road . Plus forged 17 inch wheels 👍

Just had a test ride on the Rally. Thinking of having a change from my trusted Beemer 1250 GSA TE. In some ways it lived up to expectations but in others it just didn't. It sounded like a sewing machine (euro 5 I know), the seat was uncomfortable, the engine braking did not make for enjoyable flowing rides, the switches were just pony, especially the turn indicators. Plus the top end bike was over £27K but you had to pay extra for tyre pressure monitoring, keyless fuel cap and engine bars - really!!!! Am I missing something after all the rave reviews or is it just me

Before I got my Pan Am S I looked at the V4 Rally, too bad I didn't have dealer less than 100 miles away. I didn't look at fuel economy or capacity & I'm surprised at the numbers. 30L is 7.92 gallons. My Pan Am has 21L=5.6 gallons. I've been keeping track & I'm averaging 47mpg, 260mp tank. If the V4 R is getting 286, that's only around 36mpg. Can that be right, 11mpg less? I find it hard to believe (with the V4 passing Euro5) that it wouldn't be much higher. A 7.92 gallon tank would see me to 372 miles on my Pan Am, I would've guessed the same for the V4 R. I know it's a weird thing to glom onto but, it's a ADV touring bike, I expected way better mpg due to the "touring" part of the description.

Nice

disregard my question, I answered it. Leaving a commend here for the algorithm.

There is one big thing that makes this bike NOT perfect. It's expensive. The same goes for ALL Ducati, the reason why Ducatis are not perfect motorcycles because they are overrated status symbols of excessive lifestyle and "bragging" rights. Expensive to buy, expensive to run, expensive to maintain, expensive to repair, expensive to modify, expensive to insure, expensive to be just itself. An overly unreasonably ridiculous expensive machine that only the very few can appreciate. Don't get me wrong. I like and love Ducatis and as pure riding machines, they are perfect for what they do but the "price tag" ruins the perfection.

Showa is a subsidiary of Honda 👌💯

❤

Perfect for going to shops for a coffee with that joke fuel range 😅

I love it apart from the ugly heat shield over the exhaust silencer - it looks awful! I think there’s a reason they photograph the bikes in publicity and had all the launch bikes with the luggage mounted on! Why on Earth didn’t they attach the shield to the luggage box, instead of the bike. 🤦🏼‍♂️

This bike isn't close to perfect. What are you on about? It's 2023 and outlets still have the same issues with bike reviews (they've evolved) and manufacturers. The host presents well and there's nice editing and production on the video. It's undermined by the title and some of the slants. Why isn't it close to perfect? Well, many of the reasons are mentioned in the video. Some aren't, which include details associated with the company and maintenance - which should be part of every review, along with history, if it's not a new bike.

ducati is too pricy I could buy two advs

I heard the features are all on a "pay as you go" system. they are all free until you reach 1000kms and then they switch off. You need a Ducati monthly subscription to turn on your chosen features. Is this a true story or all rubbish??

Cylinder deactivation = problems. At least in cars it does. No thanks. Not willing to see how it does in a motorcycle. No mention of the heat that cooks one's legs? That alone is a deal breaker for me. Especially since I live in Texas. Poor fuel economy. One poster said that 5.7 ltr/100 km is pretty good. For a Ducati I guess. I routinely get 5.0 ltr/100 (47mpg) or better on my R1250RT and can easily go 300+ miles on a tank. And the RT does not cook it's rider. 170hp? Meh. My 136hp R1250RT can send me straight to jail without passing go. On the street, low end and mid-range power and torque is where it's at. Of course, the GS and GS Adventure have the same engine. Part of why BMW continues to out sell Ducati and everyone else in the large adventure market by a large margin.

This big guy has another downside: fuel consumption

How is the fuel consumption?

Cool but unless you have disposable amounts of money it’s not worth it. I could buy 1 of every style of bike…..

No good for me; I'm only a 30" leg. Can't touch the floor.

Ducati is for someone who likes to be spoiled, overindulgent and pampered. Ducati is only for the super rich few.

Yes perfect...when it works. Brand new bike, with already many troubles

Consuming too much oil😅

The BMW GS Adv goes close to 400 miles on a tank, is bullet proof, costs much less to buy and own.

But if you’re never going to do anything more gnarly than a groomed dirt road, why not just get a pure touring bike? Makes no sense to me. Get a desert x or just get a street tourer

When I see this reviews about this bike, I can only imagine how it would feel, to the heart and pocket, when you drop it..and it only have two wheels 😂 it will for sure happens

Looks bland and sounds crap for a Ducati and like all new bikes from them is way to expensive IMHO, good job it was another great video though.

😎 ducati 30.000 € vyrus 130.000 € ... ducati is not perfect

You will need a fuel tanker to accompany you on your Touring on this bike..😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

It has everything to be a world class bike but it is just just not for Off Roading journeys. The mighty KTM 1290 Adventure R fits the bill.

A _genuine_ penis enlargement operation would be less expensive (i guess 😁) and then still you would have money left to buy two different, great bikes to ride.

"Rally" huh? They seriously put whatever they want in motorcycle names these days💀 The best dirt this thing can do is my garden.

The same ugly selfmade sidebags as BMW. Bathroom closet from the brand ' Allibert ' from the senventies. Such a shame, Ducati can do better.

Poser bike.

Owned the normal V4S w radar for about 7 months, hated it... Over priced, Over powered, Overly tall, and too damn heavy. Also, to me this bike lacked character.
