I don't understand this bike - how is it better than a Pikes Peak? You get 10HP that you will never notice (and less torque than the Pikes Peak, per the Ducati website). But it comes with a dry clutch rattle and shorter service intervals so it's a real Ducati! Cool I guess? If they had put a more aggressive tune in the engine I would at least see the argument. Give it the full 200+hp engine and then it's a streetfighter with some wind protection, which sounds awesome to me (even if I cannot afford it).

You don’t happen to have a 10% discount code for for the RS aswell Bob? 😬

“You know what the v4 Multistrada really needs … more power” said no-one ever.

Holy limoncello. Never expected the Pikes Peak to look the 'affordable' buy. I watched the official Ducati release in Italian a few hours earlier (English subtitles). Encourage those interested to give it a view. Repetitive early on, but it's nice getting a dose of that Italian flair (more to come Nov. 2nd).

How many version do they want to bring out of the v4 multistrada?😂

Total beauty. I rode the regulat V4s and it was strong, only small negative was engine heat. Brakes was one thing I cant forget. Such a pleasure when braking. If it would cost 20 k € I would buy one now 😢.

Price is over the top, really crazy.

What a beauty. Expensive yes, but nothing compared with an exclusive car.

10 bhp more than pikes peak , much shorter servicing . What I really don’t like is the Audi= R/S. logo, red callipers mmmm. Paint job for kids. Pikes peak looks way cooler and classier. I’d go for full system over dry clutch any day. I actually put down 1K. Deposit today before 3pm when it was announced. After being told about it by my ducati dealer . Glad it’s refundable. I’ll stick with my PP V4. with measleyb170 bhp, , grand tourismo engine is brilliant , kept me laughing in the year I’ve had it and covered nearly 12000 miles and enjoyed every minute. 👍

It is like the super bikes of old but with comfy riding position and luggage capacity. It’s kind of Porsche cayenne turbo of the motorbikes.

Never once did I think my Pannigale V4 motor should be in my Pikes Peak Multi.

Well... let me share you that I've got SFV4 SP version, and it's the best motorcycle I've ever had, but only for on road trips. Now I'm ordering also a multi v4 rally, to cover my long distance journeys, with better fuel autonomy and some offroad capabilites. So now, this RS with an engine in the middle of this both, not as powerfully nor good range, and dry clutch (requires way more maintenance)... it's ok for someone who wants an extra punch in a multi, but for me: useless cause tries to do everything, but can't do it perfectly. Perfect is, to use the types of motorcycles for what they are designed for. So sticking to my original plan, one for the insane speed pleasure (SP), another for traveling capabilities, with lower maintenance and inviting my girlfriend to it (rally). Btw very nice content!

Standard V4S enough for me, but then I’m happy with my V2S but if I won the lottery🤣

Good lord the Pike's Peak version was already priced insanely high (almost double what my 1290 SAS cost), nevermind this version. It's $42k here in Canada, which would actually be double of what my 1290 SAS cost. Damn! That said, these are amazing bikes and I would of course love one, but it's definitely an exclusive piece reserved for the wealthy. I expect a lot of them will end up like most of these expensive limited pieces do, as garage queens in rich collectors' garages.

Is there Adaptive Ride Height on this one?

Dear Sir, Any chance that when testing a Sport Touring or Touring Bike you can add a review of the, passenger accommodations, navigation and low speed, like u-turn, ability. Thank you!

Basically just a Multistrada PP with Desmo engine😂

Should we aspect a diavel rs as well? Or firts we'll see in order, the s, the PP, the gt and then the rs? .....there are too many variants, i'm lost

It’s absolutely stunning.

Thanks bro 🙏 great jop

Prefer looks of Pikes Peak tbh and save £6k! Not many would be able to use extra performance and even fewer afford it anyway!

How small is the front wheel?

I feel like Ducati is running out of things to do lol Definitely would've liked to see some upgrades to the Diavel, Supersport and Scramblers. Feels like those get left behind despite having great sales potential based off market demand. Actually, the Multistrada V4 RS really makes me wonder what the point of the supersport is besides better looks lol

I’ve got blind spot recognition, mirror extenders £ 15 plus , mirror look . Safety check ( turn head and look behind you ( nearly ) Save myself a fortune 😂😂😂🤪👍

Why the huge "RS" graphics? Why not something a bit more subtle, Ducati?

Why does it say desmo on the front beak when it's not a desmo ?

The shorter service on a touring bike will be a pain. The PP should have been called a V4 R. Unless you give it 200bhp like the up coming 1000xr this is a waste. You get the same bhp on the pikes peak with the full exhaust. I won’t be upgrading my PP as as I prefer my paint job.

Pikes Peak 🙋🏽‍♂️ Maintenance

Would still prefer the Pikes Peak. But a nice looking Bike for sure👍

What is the overall size of the tank Bob? I don’t think u mention it in the video. I like the big 28 litre tank whereas the Desert bike X trail was dropped to 21 litres. Cheers Bob 👍

Oh i coming to Eicma show in Milan Italian on 2024 in last year, the biggest bike on the world, will see you soon on milan

If it is a Desmo.. why not the Streetfighter engine with 208hp ?

We should say “ thanks Wolksvagen” I believe

i just got back from a 2000km ride on my GS, get out there people, use the bike for what its meant for.

dry clutch on ADV bike?

I picture a Ducati Diavel RS as well.

£32k 😮....I suppose if you can afford that, the damn expensive valve service won't be a problem !

need extrem one， with 240 v4r engine and single seat mtsv4 extreme

I bet this would look lovely in the garage next to the Porsche RS you've never taken near the track either. 😉

Lads at Ducati R&D are drinking petrol when they are thirsty 😂😂😂

What is shorter final drive? Smaller ratio or bigger?

So a pikes peak with a new paint job

Ducati's answer to the BMW M1000XR

This is quite an odd bike. The regular multi already gets not-great mileage, and this motor is known to be even worse (and that's when it's in a 400lbish Panigale/Streetfighter), so in a 530 lbs bike I would it will be pretty bad. Between that and the dry clutch that burns out pretty quick (again in a lightweight sport/naked bike) I think this will be a maintenance nightmare! But hey, That's that Ducati owner experience!

Looks like Ducati's answer to the upcoming BMW s1000XR M series.

I’ve had a few Ducatis, but the modern ones don’t really do it for me. I like the look of the M1000XR in preference to this and have a hankering for an inline 4 again. i’m keen to see both in the flesh to really get my head around this choice.

Designers gone Wild!!! I was expecting a higher price

In an era where motorcycles are often more sophisticated than aircraft I remain ignorant as to why most manufacturers still use solid tappets that require valve adjustments rather than hydraulic or some new type of “self-adjusting” tappets. Aside from manufacturing profit, can anyone explain?

I don't get it actually. However, I guess they created this to compete with the BMW 1000XR

Hahaha!! When I see this bike with this engine .. 21 and 18 wheels longer suspentión hehehe!! I would think to buy it!! Or anyway a Ducati Desert X V4 1200 !! Hahaha!! What a dream isn't it?

I don’t see how this is a few grand more than the Pikes Peak

Damn it looks like a scooter with these small wheels! :D

I’m sure this bike is incredible, but I’d just buy the Panigali if I wanted shear performance. This is not an adventure bike anymore and it still won’t run with the sport models.

Very² Nice..!!!!

So V4RS, M1000XR … Just waiting for Kawasaki to put the H2 engine in a versys

“Metallic timbre” = rattle 😂

So new paint, a minuscule few extra hp, and a saucy price - that's showing BMW's S1000XR Competition whose boss... not!

This is how the multistrada V4 should have looked from the begining ! single sided swinging arm and 17 inch front! lets face it NOBODY will take their Multi to serious offroad. Now they are brining this out and want top money, they will sell out as they find these odd people who doesnt ride motorcycles just collecting them. Well they might take the bike a few times a year to a race track. Beautiful bike. wish they will be able to do a Multistrada which is multi V4s price but with single swinging arm and 17 inch front. If i want an 19 inch adventure there are better options like KTM and BMW. Ducati miss the trick, they destroyed the multistrada. As an ex multistrada 1200s owner so dissapointed to see what they have done to this motorcycle. Ridden V4s multi (to buy) its awful, ridden V4 pikes peak its excellent but i wouldnt pay that money. So there for ducati is no go for me for years to come. This is why BMW is successful they never confuse or integrate the GS and the XR they are different bikes. Ducati should have kept multi On road and off road as category. But they are italian and they are high.

These prices are getting too much insurance will never cover for London the GT was a miss should have been 17 inch front who is going to take a MS off road get a Honda crf 250 u can pick up

$36k for a PP here in Canada. This one is more? I ride a lot, and see a lot of bikes on the road, but never these garage queens. This is nothing more than a rich man’s collector piece. “Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”

The King of African Lion Marvel Comic Superhero Mecha Tech Super Sonic Mega Monster Metal Machine Super Muscle Adventure Sport Bike is back, the all new Ducati Multistrada V4 RS, this bike is absolute super wild,

So, let’s make a 180 HP bike which is clearly meant for on road performance, but give it almost 7” of travel with a seat height of 850mm. So we can effectively rule out the population of 5’10” and under. Oh, and let’s price it at $41K. Canadian.

But why?

Not too much Vanos...

Am I missing something...10k more for 10hp more?

3kg , I’ll just eat less doughnuts 🍩

More money than a SFV4 SP2, less power, no carbon wheels, no full akra

Can't see many of these getting bought.

At this point just get a Panigale?

I can't wait to see CF Moto copy this for 12 grand

Too similar in spec and looks to the Pikes Peak and a small power increase. No thanks I’ll take the Streetfighter SP2.

So nowhere near a match for the M1000XR, why bother?

Ridiculous price for 10h.p more over standard. And no carbon wheels like on their SP models which are considerably cheaper too. M1000XR will be lighter, has carbon wheels also over 200h.p and it'll be far cheaper. No brainer!

Plus, I hate the dry clutch (bag of spanners) timbre. The regular Multi V4 is a bit thirsty. This could be worse. I had a Streetfighter V4S, which was lovely, but spent a significant amount of time filling it up or looking for somewhere to fill it up. But, it made the Multi feel slow.

and you use 10% of everything on the street without breaking the law, or putting your life at risk

Juat get a pikes peak and flash it for christ sake. All that extra dosh for 10hp Extra.

Nah, gonna stick with the Enfield

🔥🔥🔥❤️🇧🇬

Who needs 180hp on an adventure bike? This is why the BMW R1300GS is x10’s better than its rivals and you don’t boil your eggs😂😂

Most of commercial videos are from sport track, who can afford multistrada and want to go to track can buy panigale for that reason. Don’t see the reason to have this bike for touring…

I actually don’t get this bike. I mean, it’ll get pasted by other ADV bikes doing proper off road (KTM 890R for example) and on road, it’ll get pasted by Paginales and Fireblades. So who is the target market? The V2 has a clearly defined market, the road biased tourer.. but not this.

£32K bare, Ill buy 2

I guessed £32k what a joke Ducati are off there heads at the moment with the price of their bike.

Pfft... Only 180hp?

Awesome- cause the one thing that bike needed, was more power… LOL

rs.............

V2 V2 S V4 V4 S V4 Pikes Peak V4 Grand Tour V4 RS V4 Rally 🤦🤦🤦

meh, this is not really something you would want, trade it reliability for 10 extra hp, not worth.

Completely unnecessary. Why not just get a panigale or streetfighter. Multistrada will always be comprised in performance enverioment just like any other SUV that's trying to be a sports car.

nice, but too much money. Bye

First Viewer And First Comment In This Video😢

$40k... I can literally buy a Tesla for less than that. The bike still lacks everything the Grand turismo added, has every problem/fault that the V4S has, fuel tank is too small, and now it has lost the signature 36,000 mile valve check. For the price of this you can just buy a regular used Multistrada V4S and a Panigale.

Track day garages will be full of these. Not. This is like a giraffe wearing runners trying to convince you it is a cheetah. A pointless motorcycle. Ducati is clearly trying to milk the last pennies out of the ever shrinking demographics left with disposable income. Oh, and they needed to pad out this years launches.

Its a top heavy tank and ugly , its also over priced . better off buying 6 dr650's

bullshit every year new model for no reason wasted money
