- Did 1000 kms on various types of roads and surfaces and traffic with two Ducatis. I also show you a full tutorial of how to use the console to change various riding modes etc. The Multistrada has something different to offer.

I had a question about the saddle bags and highways. Do you feel the weight on the highway, especially when it's filled up. Does it affect your aerodynamics? Overall, good detailed informative video!
Yes. It makes a big difference. You are carrying easily 30-40 kilos extra. The wind resistance is quite big. The riding dynamics change. The aerodynamics change. It changes everything.
I talk about it in 6:55.
Thank you for your appreciation.
This is literally the best multistrada review on RUclips. You go over things that so called "Motorcycle journalists" don't go over. Showing the controls of the bike and taking it into serious off-road conditions really shows a lot about the bike. Thank you!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I have seen reviews of powerdrift, motorbeam, autocar, zigwheels, motorcycle magzine, fortnine say what not but this one was amongs the best reviews of a motorcycle so far, got to learn so much.
Wow! Thank you so much.
Now that's the kind of information anyone interested would be looking for... this is amazing!!
Thank you
It is unbelievable the number of views I got on this and on the Bobber reviews. And I did not even want to do it in the first place. Maël pushed me to do it :D :D
I thought the title was too good to be true. You lived Upton to it. Thanks
Thank you so much. :)
Beautiful test and beautiful bike
Thank you so much. :)
Great review.... I am a big fan of Ducati... Though I cannot buy now but my eyes are on this... I will buy one eventually.
It is worth having your eyes on. Great bike!
So great that you post these thoughtful & thorough reviews. It’s very interesting to hear how various features may affect you in India. It’s not impossible to end up in sand here either. Please keep posting. Brilliant video work/editing. Thanks from the USA. Subscribing!
So nice of you to appreciate my work. It inspires me. Thank you. 🤘🙏🙌
Now I'm in the USA too. I'm in PA. Where are you?
fantastic review all things that I needed to know were covered. Thanks for taking the time
Thanks man. More coming up soon. :)
Great review. The music is a bit of a distraction, though. It looks like a great bike for doing long distances.
Thanks. It is an amazing bike.
Another great bike and great review.
Thank you so much. 🙏🙏
Wonderfully explained :) But irritating background music.
Thank you for your feedback. :)
Nice video
Thank you so much for your comment. Much appreciated.
nice info Ken.. 21 kms wow not bad.. and i really like the engine start button its kinda different as you mentioned.
Actually over the highway I got almost 25kmpl. But then I did not want to say it over the video and raise expectations.
Awesome review, thank you.
Thank you so much for your comment. Means a lot. We worked to make good reviews.
Nice video , tnx💯👍
Thank you so much
Watched ur all videos..
Awesome content sir...subscribed
Wow! Thank you so much. I am touched. :)
Quality content for an excellent review!
Please I am passing my license here in Morocco (we get an unlimited license "A" after succeeding) and I would like to know your opinion on the multistrada 950 for a beginner (controlling, maneuverability ...) in motorcycle but who has traveled tens of thousands of km with an SUV car (I'm 1.79 m and 90 kg). Thanx a lot. Cheers.
Hi friend,i am looking forward to buy this beautiful Machine...i was little afraid to buy this because of my height am 171 cm, but after watching this i feel confident..what is the standard seat height of this? Are you using a lowered seat or standard seat ? I will book a test ride as soon as possible
I was riding the standard seat height. 84 cms. The seat height cannot be adjusted in the 950. I had no problems. And you are taller than I am.
Do leave a comment when you get your test ride.
@@KrishnenduKes for sure ,,thank u❤️
Great review ! Please do the updated 2017 Africa Twin next ! Subscribed !
Thank you so much. Wish to do it.
Thank for the info sir😘
Nice review. I may have misunderstood you but the Cons. feature refers to fuel consumption as either an average value or instant value. I think I heard you say constant as opposed to consumption.
You are absolutely right. It is actually the consumption, both average and instant.
Awesome review! Covered pretty much everything in this video.
One thing I would like to know is does the multistrada 950 get unbearably hot in stop-and-go traffic of India?
Edit - Also do you plan to test the 2021 model?
Edit 2 - Just checked the Autocar india artice and it states that the bike doesn't throw heat on your legs to the point it becomes bothersome but I'll still like to know your opinion.
Thank you for your comments. It is true. It does not throw heat anywhere. That said, I tested in spring when temperatures were not that hot. But I was in Jaipur where traffic was pretty bad and heat was not an issue. No, I do not plan to test the 2021 model. I live in America now and ride very different bikes at the place where I work. Lol.
Good review
Thank you. 🙏🙏🤘
Krishnendu... when you get angry do you shout SHORYUKEN! ? Lol besides that would you punch me if i would buy this bike as a total beginner? Im in love with it but i feel like its a big jump from 1000 km with a 800 ktm duke to a 1200 multistrada eventho im a fast learner. what do you think?
I suppose you mean the Duke 790. If you have been on the Duke 790 for mille kilometres... heck, you can punch who you like! I am not the one going to punch you, lol!
Besides, if you see closely, this review of the multistrada... it is not the 1200 version!
Good to see you arund Drunken Pirate. Thank you for your comments! Much appreciated. :)
And no... I do not get angry.
I'm also 167cm so I'm interested in the possibility of buying this bike and if I can handle it with my heigh. Do you use the low seat option on is it the standard seat ? (sorry for my English ;) ) . Simon
Your English is perfect. I understand everything. To answer your question, in the Indian version, there is just the standard seat option. In other countries, there is the lower seat option for the 1200 Multistrada for some years. www.ducati.com/accessories/multistrada/seat_with_lower_seat_height_749/index.do
Simon Mignol o
Ducati MS 950 Vs Triumph Tiger 800- Which will be comfortable riding,both in City and out of it?
Amazing question. Not much to reply. There is not much to differentiate in the ride quality between the two.
I daresay that the Tiger has a wee bit edgier throttle response. Beyond that it is a tough call. I suggest you go with the bike that has better after sales in your area.
I started looking at this the r1250 is a bit more i want to spend....nice video. i might pick one in a month or two when 2020 come out the 2019 go on a bit or a sale.
Great. Do let me know when you buy one about your impressions.
Is the seat comfy for long journey, and what about passenger seat, is that comfy too?
Very comfortable for both.
Thank you for visiting, watching and participating in the comments. 🙏🙏
Good!
Thank you so much. :)
can you plz say the service cost of this motorcycle?
Usually the service cost of most of these "big bikes" is a little less than that of cars. It will set you back by around 4-6K including parts like oil, oil filter etc.
When I had my R1, I used to service it myself.
from where we can get the panniers and top box for ducati multistrada 950 in india??
plz tell me
Sorry to reply this late, but you can get the panniers from Ducati.
Interesting. You almost got stuck in the sand with this bike, and you heap praise on it because it did so much better than the 'other' bike you were with. Is it just me, to does it look like you're comparing it's off-road, deep sand traversing ability to that of a (and it looks like a...) Ducati 959 Panigale. :-O I'm sorry, but that makes as much sense as putting a snooze button on a smoke alarm.
Excellent
Sheldon Dcruz Hey. Thanks. Let's meet up.
Multistrada or bmw1250gs which one do you recommend
Or the Tiger Explorer 1200 or the KTM Super Adventure. Good question there.
They are all superb motorcycles.
I would base my decision on who gives me the best after sales service at my location.
can we lower the height of the seat for shorter riders
Pramod Felix There are options in some countries even for the 950.
For a long time I was looking for a lifestyle bike with a occasional road trip and I am confused between more VFM NINJA 1000 or Stylish multistrada 950 but worried about Ducati Reliability against Kawasaki bullet proof engines. Can you shed some light on this
I'm sorry I was not notified by RUclips of this comment. All bikes these days are pretty reliable and solid.
Finally it boils down to who has better after sales service in your locality.
The Ninja 1000 is a great bike. But the Ducati has way more torque.
Much better with stock plastic cases! ;)
You are probably right. :)
How do you keep this bike standing with no side stand or center stand and both feet on the pegs? :D
Tenktory Don't tell me I just did that! 😆😆😆😆
I am only 1,73 am am affraid that the seat height is too high. My previous bike was a 1200 gs but i managed to reduce the height with 2 cm. What do you think. Does Ducati have a similar option?
You are 8 cms taller than me. If I can do it, so can you.
No, Ducati India does not have this option for this model.
@@KrishnenduKes thanks a lot. What do you think about the new bmw 900 xr in comparioson with the multistrada 950 s.
@@andreipop8313 Good question. As much as I am a fan of BMW Motorrad, I'm not particularly fond of the XR. Though I have not ridden it yet. But I somehow seem to hold a bias.
However I love their boxer engines and can highly recommend them.
hey i have a 1200s mts cann u tell me which brand paniers are you using?? annd will it fit my bike
Those are OEM Ducati panniers that the company have me with the bike. If you watch through the video you will see the speed limit and load limits of the panniers of the bike that I was testing.
Yes, normally they should fit the 1200 too.
Turn off the birds please.
Lol 😂😂😂😂
Hello sir..... does this motorcycle has a lowering kit / lowering seat.... thay can be used to reduce the seat height? .... plz reply @krishnendu kes
There is a low seat option. But it is very expensive and not worth it. Despite being 5'6", I used the standard seat.
There are after market options to lower the seat.
@@KrishnenduKes am 5'5... 165cms.... would that be manageable??
@@joshuajo9099 Oh very much. If you have some experience in biking, you will be just fine. I'm 165cns.
Right now own himalayan.... planning yo upgrade... thx for the support bro.... 🤗
@@joshuajo9099 let me know when you buy. If I'm in India, maybe I can do a video on your experience. It would be great.
Do you recommend this bike for long adventure trip that includes light to medium off roads with adequate tires like 60/40 ??
Absolutely. Without the shadow of a doubt. I would.
@@KrishnenduKes Thank you for honest reply, take care.
@@mohammadF640 Let me know when you get your bike. Eager to know your impressions. :)
@@KrishnenduKes Yeah sure, actually I've did alot of search in order to decide what will be my next bike, I've already narrowed my options to this bike and triumph tiger 800, to be honest I like the tiger more but the problem is there is no triumph dealer where I live (eastern province of Saudi Arabia) the nearest dealer to me is in Dubai UAE which is about 1000 kilometers away from my place, so it seems that I will stick with Ducati because the dealer is only 10 kilometers away from my house :)
Normal fuel or high octane fuel?
Good question there. You can use 91 octane fuel in India. That is normal in India for a decade now. And that is good enough.
@@KrishnenduKes Yes but be prepared to change the spark plugs soon often, I do that, guilty of it XD
@@revoconner You may be right. Which fuel do you use and which country?
Krishnendu Kes India, I use regular 91 octane but i had to get my spark plugs cleaned by 6500 kms
@@revoconner Yes. Make sense. I change my plugs every 8k.
What will be the fuel economy of this bike
Thank you for watching and asking a question. I think I said it in the video. I was getting more than 20kmpl on this particular ride.
Is there cruise control in this 950
I am thinking to buy multistrada , any advice sir
Just go ahead and buy it. You will enjoy. Ride it to the mountains and go camping.
@@KrishnenduKes i live in himachal so its a mountain area but not sure about service cost and other info
@@Tinagervais123 Where in Himachal do you live? How far from Gurgaon?
@@KrishnenduKes it's i think 400 plus km
@@KrishnenduKes manali to be specific
Do a review for t120 bonnie
That is worth it I reckon.
Your height is 1.67m, what about your inseam??
And then the time comes for the Desmo service ! Show Me The MONEY !!!
Lol yeah. 😂😂
But yes, since the Desmo is not spring based, your first valve related service would still be the same or later than a non Desmo engine.
too much background noise
You don’t look 1.67 metres at all!!🤔
But I got the information
Thank you 😀
166 now with age setting in.
Hehehe
This bike is for big guys
Thank you very much for coming and commenting on my video. It means a lot.
However, I did not understand what you mean by "Big" guys. I am not very "big", I measure in at 165cms.
I think that this bike is for tall People 1,90cm +
@@nedarayt That makes it more clear. Just for the record, as I said before and also during the video, I am 165cms. I had no issues. None whatsoever.
Sir, may i know your height pls. Thanks
I'm 165 cms. In the old system, 5'5".
Thank you for passing by and asking relevant questions.
Krishnendu Kes Planning to buy this. Owned a Versys 650 now (lowered). I’m just 5’4’’. Tried this MTS in their showroom, both legs tiptoed. Ducati staff said a Low Seat option (not available) is an option, plus a little adjustments on the suspension might do the trick on me. Thank You for the your review though, very helpful.
@@tagpisecu2303 I honestly do not think that should be much of a problem. You just have to get used to the bike and you will be fine.
How tall are you ?
Freddie Riboni I am 166 cms. 😇
I thought I showed it in the video while describing it. 🤔🤔
@@KrishnenduKes awesome sir how you handle this beast!
@@Evolcanova Thank you so much. Not a big deal really. 🙏🙏✌️✌️
MPG is the currency of fuel consumption.
Around 55MPG for this baby.
That's the currency only in America.
There are other worlds my friend.
From the world that I come from, 1.2 Billion people use the metric system. 🙏🙏
@@KrishnenduKes I am in England. The pumps sell litres but we still use the MPG to estimate economy. Great video by the way.
@@ScragNath Really? Good to know. And your MPG is probably the "Imperial Galon" which is again different from the American!
Thank you for the appreciation. :)
@@KrishnenduKes I correct you. It is Gallon. Miles per Gallon is what we judge fuel efficiency here in the United Kingdom.
Is it the low seat? Is lower seat then EU version?
Al Pap No. This is the high seat version.
Krishnendu Kes thank you. Is it the 84cm one? I am 1.73 and it felt more tippy toes than you. It is very informative standing on the bike for people to see how tall it is. Congratulations for doing it.
You are 173! You are a giant compared to me. :D :D
Krishnendu Kes 1.73 with 77cm inseam (30.3"). Maybe the European version of Multi950 is taller than the Asian or my shoes had a very thin sole. 165lbs 75 kgs with gear on.
Krishnendu Kes or maybe you've grown a bit taller since last measurement (167)?
2:52 Whyyyyy are you taking a road/track bike in the sand??? Seriously???
1. Because we were lost. The villagers guided us this way and we found ourselves in the sand. It was not deliberate.
2. We were together, we could not have gone our own separate ways. We were doing a travel vlog together. :)
It’s a tall bike to me even though I am 175cm ... :(
Thank you for your comment. It is actually a tall bike for anyone. But you will be fine riding it.
Good review but terrible camera work.
Very good video! Thorough, detailed, concise and comprehensive. Especially going through all the bikes functions and external features. Unlike other videos I've seen. Please review another dual purpose bike that is equally or more focused with off-road bike abilities.
Thank you so much. I would love to do another review. Waiting for a bike soon.
Very good very good 🥴🥴🥴
Thank you very much
The luggage is hideous!
Lol, it is tough to make luggage "beautiful" unless you see the luggage of the Ninja 1000 SX.
@@KrishnenduKes
The color matched Ducati luggage is made for,and looks awesome on it.
@@travelinben1966 Which country are you talking about?
@@KrishnenduKes
No country.The bike is Italian,and the accessory lugage is provided by Ducati.
You need to turn the music off Geoff
1st
meh
Please review a dual purpose bike that is an all rounder, with equal abilities off-road, on-road (rough unsurfaced roads, pot holed city roads to smooth tarmac), also capable of commuting, touring and cruising. Something that is reliable, dependable, and comfortable that can also handle various weather conditions. Would be great to hear your review and recommendation on such a bike. Basically something that can handle anything and everything India has to throw at it. If it works there than it should be to handled anything, in UK, Europe & US. Thanks.
Amongst the bikes available in India, the Tiger, the Multistrada and the V-Strom, they are all equally capable.
