1260S is fantastic. I do not like the looks of the V4 without the panniers, the mounts are too visible and the single arm rear suspension is way cooler on the outgoing 1260S model. The Desmo torque is addictive in the 1260, I can ride along very fast friends on sport bikes and even took it to the track. My two cents, Ducati Multistrada is awesome regardless of V4 or 1260 engine differences.

@gregorytragitt2208 7 ай бұрын

The V4 S sacrifes performance, handling and fuel econmy. To get a 17 in front wheel and signle side swing arm you have to spend close to 32 K to get a V4 Pikes Peak. More torque at a lower rpm is a huge advantage for the 1260 S. I have 25 k miles on my 2020 1260 S and have averaged ~ 50 mpg. The V4 has an advantage for off-road riding.

“I’m going to take my Ducati multistrada off road” -said no one ever. That’s what BMW and KTM is for. Losing that v twin Ducati sound is going to be a bummer.

@MotorDanko 3 жыл бұрын

actually, there is a lot of off roading marketing involved to the ducati, probably on the states will not be as common, but one of the most important off road school in colombia uses ducati (Capital Riders), and here in spain the Ducati team, took a group of people that i know and make them do some crazy off road stuff (cabras sobre ruedas, twin trail, trail dreamer) you can look them up, and they all have something good to say about the ducati off road, being all of them KTM riders... so maybe it will impress...

@JonBecker81 3 жыл бұрын

@@MotorDanko very interesting. Most people in the states wouldn’t even consider taking a multistrada out for any kind of off roaring. We consider them more of a sport tourer here. I don’t see many of them at all out and about. BMWs and KTM to a lesser extent are king here.

Bike of the Year. No question. But it's important to mention that to invoke the radar and blindspot features, there's an additional $850 fee (excluding labor and taxes), that is 'not' covered within the MSRP. Aside from the panniers being easier to remove, their main new benefit is they no longer fall over when you put them on the ground! The MTS is much faster than the old bike in roll-on tests, which highlights the V4 spins up faster and the gearing is better too. The Full model is more expensive than the travel and radar, but gets a dedicated paint scheme, carbon front mudguard, and homologated Akrapovic exhaust canister.

@thewheel69 Жыл бұрын

Um the key fob feature you talked about...? Same thing as the old bikes. If you want to unlock the bags or the tank... ya need to pop out your key and do it... otherwise if you are just jumping on and off the bike... same as 2010.

@herpderp1662 7 ай бұрын

To answer the title of the vid. Its not. The 1200, specifically 10 to 15 was the last itteration of the 1198 that was worth a shit, especially if you want to tune it, or have it last. Mines a 13, tuned, makes the V4 look weak with its piddly "170hp". Sure the new bikes got all the fancy suspension and goodies, but that engine breaks the deal for me.

It seems the main reason reviewers are getting such low gas mileage on the v4 is that they are whacking the throttle open a lot more often. I saw a video of some guys that did a road trip with one on a 1260 Multistrada and the other on a v4, and they said the range per tank was about the same.

The internet is a wash with reviews of the Multistrada V4 and some BMW or other European so called premium or exotic bike but they never seem to mention why these manufacturers constantly run at the bottom of the customer satisfaction and reliability tables .Have i missed something ? or is reliability not important anymore ?

I realize this is an old comment but my 2010 Multistrada passed 70000km today. Other than the useless Brembo rear brake, completely trouble-free. Much better quality all around than my 2016 Africa Twin.

I had a 2015 Multistrada. It was a POS. The Skyhook suspension wanted to do tank slappies at moderate cornering speeds. The throttle maps let any old lady in a Prius out drag me at the lights, but once in a while would go bananas wheelieing me into the car in front. At 5,000 miles there was a pile of metal filings on the oil pan drain bolt, the longest 3/16 inch. The clutch slave cylinder leaked so it had to be bled every month. The cost of maintenance and repairs was ridiculous. I now have a 1290 SAS. Better in every way. I hear VW wants to sell Ducati. Pity the fool who buys it.
