Great video as always, your passion for motorcycling comes across every time, great ambassador for us all. Love the workshop banter and tea time and biscuits. The best entertainment on the net.
You’re a top bloke Martin, shared a top video. Lovely bike, good on Andrew for lending it to you. I’m with you on the BLT, always dump the lettuce, that’s what food eats. Ride safe mate
Thanks , appreciate it, yeah Andrew is such a nice bloke , ha Lettuce is one of my worst foods, even shake it out of a Big Mac if there’s too much .. but I’m getting better , thanks :)
Cracking video again, loving the banter at the end in the cafe 😂 I love my V4 Pikes Peak with the full system, just done the NC500 round Scotland and it was bloody awesome! Can’t convince myself I should change to the RS, but who knows, I’ve said similar before? 😊 One day perhaps…? 😏
Thanks , yeah it bet it was a great trip … very hard choice especially as the Pikes Peak is so good … maybe get the RS when it’s time to change the Pikes Peak
I need another job, that Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak with akrapovic exhaust sound so sweet, great vid once again ps nice seeing Paul doing the washing up 😁
Awesome , the Akrapovic is a must have , yeah I really like the tail piece on the RS, if you don’t use a top box I think the RS tail piece looks a lot better
Excellent vid Martin! That bike was amazing! I've just got back from a week touring Scotland on my Multistrada Enduro 1200 and it was wonderful, the bike was a credit to Ducati. I wish I could afford the RS but would mean selling the six other bikes I have and I like variation so that wont work. Keep the excellent content coming! 👍🏍🏍👍
Thanks glad you enjoyed the video… and your trip to Scotland , yeah all the Multistrada’s are so good , the RS is an excellent bike but a lot of money for sure :)
That no luggage method of travel is great. There was an old bloke who rode his bicycle from Sydney to Adelaide, and he mailed his fresh clothes to each pub he planned to stay overnight, so it was waiting for him. He would post his dirty kit back home.
I like the banter between you and Paul 🤣 Iam 60 years old and a Thai boxing instructor, but before I started that I won the 350 production championship on a YPVS ,😎😎 had a RD 250 E ,a 350 LC 😉 me and Paul are very alike . Love the videos and tea talk bud
Ha thanks glad you enjoy it , Paul used to race RD350’s can’t remember what ones though, and Paul does boxing training 3 or 4 times a week and goes gym, but tbh seems like he’s been boxing for 12 rounds every morning he comes to work , never know wa tone so tired as they get to work😂😂
Be nice to cyclists, man, they don't slow you down nearly as much as those cars do! I love these videos - the joy that these bikes give you really comes through.
Thanks, glad you enjoy the videos , sorry just not a fan of them on the road , I sit in more traffic I think due to some guy peddling his way to work with 50 cars behind him in the mornings then anything else , but each to their own .. but he really should get an engine 😂
I think if I had a choice all over again, I'd go for a Pikes Peak, but I'm still in love with my V4s Full after 3 years. I do like a change of clothes when I tour. 😂😂
Yeah I get that .. I don’t think the Pikes Peak was out when you bought your bike as you got one of the first ones I think ?? For the Majority of the time the V4s is a better bike , definitely for touring.. the PP and the RS are just better for the twisty bits :)
Thanks.. they are both awesome as each other.. but for me the RS just edges it with that engine and how smooth everything is.. but it is £5k more then the Pikes Peak..
Mind blown, never thought they’d top the Pikes peak. Got a 996 sps itch to scratch but hope to get a RS for WDW 26. Next step is talking the Mrs into knocking up one of her Lemon drizzle cakes.
Ha yeah it a fantastic bike, not massively different from the Pikes Peak , but smoother engine and gear change and feels faster , especially as it’s getting higher int he revs , it’s just right for me
What a flippin luvly bike. Owning a 21 MS V4S I couldn't afford the cost to change for a RS so it would have to be a Pikes Peak so I have the looks and the chassis.
Yeah it is, the Pikes Peak is not a lesser bike, it’s just different, some will still prefer the Pikes Peak over the RS, just for me I like it more.. just a little , they are both so awesome 😎
When you look at power curves laid over each other--the "regular" Pikes Peak dominates this all the way to 10,000 rpms. I love to see some roll-on races between the RS and Pikes Peak. Would the added revs from lower gearing be irritating as it would turn maybe 1000 extra revs at same travel speeds?
As you know What’s on paper does not always relate to what actually happens when you twist the throttle , the RS feels faster, has that fast acceleration feeling , it’s smoother,especially on the quick shifter , it’s not going to be for everyone I’m sure and at £5k more then the Pikes Peak some won’t see the value or the point of it, remember the one I rode had the full system so it is 192bhp or something so yeah it should feel faster
@@ProjectMoto I am mostly trying to talk myself OUT of a future RS and adding full race Termi system with included Ducati mapping helped--but a re-map with OFT gave me the punch at the throttle I was missing on my Superduke GT. I add pipes to all bikes regardless--but the OFT re-map gave me some of what I imagine the RS delivers--at massive savings.
@@tomtraynor5384 swap sprockets on the pikes peak to have shorter gearing like the RS since that is the only reason why anyone says the RS is quicker with the engine that makes less torque everywhere and less power until the non desmo runs out of revs, but then fuel economy and range will be even worse 🙃 and fit rosso IV corsa tires, or go for supercorsas. I was kind of pissed off because RS got announced within half a year of me getting a pikes peak after my dealer was telling me there wouldn't be a desmo multi since I wanted to wait for it.
@@volodymyrshoniia2424 What I did was get the ECU restrictions removed by one of the aftermarket tuners--I picked OFT/Shiv Patec, and that really woke it up. I'm pretty happy with it. It literally made 4 more HP than the Ducati tune on the full system at peak and also a big bump between 3000-4500 RPM--right where you want to just roll on and accelerate in any gear.
Realmente encuentras mucha diferencia de la Pikes Peak con el full sistem?Creo que la Pikes Peak debería tener mejores bajos en el recorrido que has hecho , que opinas? Saludos desde España
The full system makes a big difference .. to be honest I didn’t really notice the bitten end difference.. they are both fast and pull hard.. the RS just picks up faster from about half way through the revs
There is a difference in the way it picks up speed and accelerates, the engine and gearbox are smoother, like a Panigale really, I don’t think there is a huge enough difference ( especially how most people ride) to warrant changing their Pikes Peak in early .. but for their next bike yes get the RS if you can afford it
They are kinda the same power I guess , a supercharged engine obviously works very different to the V4 engine, guess it depends where your riding and how you ride , I know I’d be faster on the RS personally
@@ProjectMotoI just got to ride one 2 days ago , not even close the Ducati sounds good when throttle is open and is slightly more comfortable but is got nowhere near the pull of my kwacker, the blower makes rediculous tq and very broad across from 4600-11500 it feels like my Tesla electric and smooth. Although similar in weight and power they have different personalities.
@@MrRevinto7 did it have the full system on it, that changes a lot , yeah they are very different, depends what you want it for and how you ride , speed is very deceptive on different bikes and used in different places , you would need to be out with someone on both bikes to see where each one works better
Two years into my ownership of the Pikes Peak V4 with full akra system, I'm currently in two minds about what to update to for 2025. Having watched you 'properly' ride both the PP & RS (man after my own heart), would you say I'd feel the performance improvement on the RS over my current bike, again with the full system? Also wondering if the engine note on the RS is louder with the full system vs the PP 🤔 It's either that or I go back to Super Naked ownership go for the new SF V4S
You would definitely feel the performance difference, the RS probably feels the same up until about 7/8000 revs then it changes, it has a fast part at the end of the revs up until 13,000 rpm, the engine sits right between the Multistrada and the streetfighter when it comes to power deliver and performance, personally I love it , for me it’s the best bike out there
For me it’s a dry clutch, they are noisy but I like them, they are a bit Marmite for people I have found but for me they perform better so it’s a plus for the ride
Yeah it’s awesome , the problem is the cameras doesn’t pick up the sound.. the 1260 with termi’s is louder , and probably pops more …. But this does have such a good sound when you are on the throttle 😎
Bit of advice needed please. Never ridden any ducati but im fancying a multi. V2 though. What the best value for money, a tidy 950s for 9k or a spanking v2s for 15/16k? Id take finance on the new bike which really wont sway my choice either way. Just wondering if the small inprovements are worth the extra couple years of paying
I’ve watched your videos on Pani’s , SFV4 and Multi’s. I’m coming from ADV bikes and don’t want the multi :/ I KNOW they’ve got 170 hp etc etc but it’s still looks a little like a wingless bloated mosquito 😂 The Pani and SF and amazing on demo drive but I’ve heard nothing but heat issues and burning with the Pani :/ The SF seems to make more sense and from what I gather is the ultimate for you . If you could only have the one bike in your garage… choice Pani or SF. What would it be?
Well I get Multistrada’s or any adventure bikes are not the best looking bikes for everyone.. sports and streetfighters are nice to look at Now that is a very hard question..especially when I don’t actually ever have to put me hand in my pocket to buy one.. from standard Pani’s/SF all the way up to the SP2 models ( which for me are the best models) they are awesome , really the SF is probably better on the road for sure… but and there is a but.. the Panigale is just so good, I think it’s just personal to each rider to want the want .. the Panigale does get hot though, like really hot at slow speeds and in traffic , but who wants to go slow on a panigale anyway ???
I’ve got a Pani v2 which I only use on track as it is entirely impractical for anything else. My SFV4s is brilliant for everything except track where the lack of fairing is a real issue over 160mph. Had a Multi v2 and much prefer the Streetfighter for everyday riding. Heat issues on the v2 both SF (had one of them for 6 months too) and Pani are real but I genuinely don’t get why there is so much drama over them. Betty swallocks isn’t the end of the world when you are riding such beautiful bikes.
@@stevekonrad6092 haha 😝 fair enough. I think I’ll be going Streetfighter V4s. 160mph (257kmph) means nothing to me on the road ffs 🤦♂️ that’s nutty speed and I’ll probably do that for 10 seconds a month on an empty motorway being realistic. I’ll never track the machine. Especially when new! 30k € is an expensive drop to have.
It’s an awesome machine, but you loose the servicing interval of the pikes peak and gain not that much on power, so I keep pikes peak and a track panigale 😎😎
Here is you a bad thing (or a couple) to say about it or pikes peak: It is not engaging or visceral due to weight, size, ergonomics. Comfortable, fast for what it is, but not really fun. It is loud and buffety as hell There is no front end feel due to the ergonomics and electronic suspension that doesn't give any precise adjustment settings (just preload and softer/harder for front and rear) The handling can be improved by sticking more weight on the nose via adjusting the clamp vs forks, cranking up the preload, and fitting a taller profile rear tire since there is not enough weight on the front to begin with (maybe that can help the front end feel too) At least the quick shifter in the rs is probably better than the pikes peak tractor shifter and there is engine braking adjustmemt, it revs more, and sounds more exciting. Ducati should make an actual traditional sports tourer that doesn't have the size, weight, noisiness, or ergonomics of adv nonsense.
@@SP-xd8gs @SP-xd8gs not engaging or visceral at all compared to a tuono or a streetfighter or something else with less weight, less size, sportier ergonomics, and more sensation of speed. It's all relative. Sure, it's still much more characterful and exciting than an XR and many other things. Sure, it can make decent progress up to a certain point where the weight and size with awful ergos and zero front end feel make the experience fall apart. Sure, it's ok if you're into wheelies and skids. It's too big and heavy for tighter stuff, there's too much buffeting at higher speeds and the ergonomics aren't suited to them. It's just too far to the comfort side and too far from the sport side to be fun for me. Great when I have long commutes or highway, never really have much of a wish to go carve some canyon roads with it since it's rather underwhelming whenever I give it a shot.
That bike looks frikkin superb!! I’m very tempted. I’d seen that they have slightly less torque than the V4s, and hit their sweet spot slightly higher up the revs, so I thought I’d stick with the S for easier road riding, but yer making me second guess 😃
It is awesome , you know I didn’t really notice if it had less torque really , if it is is marginal .. what I did notice it how quickly it starts accelerating over the V4s engine at mid revs and onwards, it’s a lot of money for sure.. but a lot of bike at the same time
This is a 3 in 1 bike. Adventure, sport tourer and a sport bike. If you have this bike. You'll only need 1 other bike. Off road bike like a ktm 500 ex or 890 adv R
Yes exactly mate , just does everything so good, it’s a lot of money but if you already have 2 or 3 different bikes to do what this does it’s not that much really

@@SP-xd8gs @SP-xd8gs not engaging or visceral at all compared to a tuono or a streetfighter or something else with less weight, less size, sportier ergonomics, and more sensation of speed. It's all relative. Sure, it's still much more characterful and exciting than an XR and many other things. Sure, it can make decent progress up to a certain point where the weight and size with awful ergos and zero front end feel make the experience fall apart. Sure, it's ok if you're into wheelies and skids.
It's too big and heavy for tighter stuff, there's too much buffeting at higher speeds and the ergonomics aren't suited to them.
It's just too far to the comfort side and too far from the sport side to be fun for me. Great when I have long commutes or highway, never really have much of a wish to go carve some canyon roads with it since it's rather underwhelming whenever I give it a shot.

That bike looks frikkin superb!! I’m very tempted. I’d seen that they have slightly less torque than the V4s, and hit their sweet spot slightly higher up the revs, so I thought I’d stick with the S for easier road riding, but yer making me second guess 😃
It is awesome , you know I didn’t really notice if it had less torque really , if it is is marginal .. what I did notice it how quickly it starts accelerating over the V4s engine at mid revs and onwards, it’s a lot of money for sure.. but a lot of bike at the same time
This is a 3 in 1 bike. Adventure, sport tourer and a sport bike. If you have this bike. You'll only need 1 other bike. Off road bike like a ktm 500 ex or 890 adv R
Yes exactly mate , just does everything so good, it’s a lot of money but if you already have 2 or 3 different bikes to do what this does it’s not that much really
👍
😎
Sounds exactly like my streetfighter v4 😅
Salad cream with lasagna is the perfect combination.
Oh yeah .. maybe il try it , I always think I don’t like salad cream until I have it :)
Geez wots da go…… now it’s in the kitchen wiv fanny cradock and Gordon Ramsey discussing blt Sammie’s😂😂😂😂
Ticking all my boxes.....apart from my money box 😢
Yeah same here 😂😂
them bmw drivers in 67K motors snailing 24mph in a 70 zone. Get a BMT from Subway, line of mayo extra cheese and dash of chili, full salad, mint! Just don't tell lucy.
Ha yeah they do crawl about .. mmm sounds nice , better try it on my day off so I don’t get in trouble 😂
Fruit in cheese ruins xmas......fuck me😂😂😂
😂 Mate it’s the biggest thing that ruins Christmas for people ..
Multistrada V4 Rally best all roind.
The Multistradas have gotten fat around the mid-section. The RS is only the best until a V4 SuperSport comes around.
See when you say it's good (the RS) it bloody well should be for the £32,000 asking price 😅😅
Yeah your right it should be.. but luckily it is , Awesome bike 😎
You guys need to learn how to speak proper English 😂
@@FastRu-kl7iy we know our English … but there is subtitles in English 😂
M xr better
Each to their own mate , They are all good tbh
@@ProjectMoto rode the M.. want to do a back2back with a multi b4 decision
@@kevinmill7965 the problem is you probably won’t get a test ride on a Pikes Peak or an RS and they are different to the any of the V4s Multistrada’s
Cool as
Yeah it is for sure 😎
