Excellent vid. I have owned and ridden a Multistrada V4S Full since September 2021 and covered 9000 miles. It is my do it all bike. Last year fitted a decat link pipe and remap from BHP UK priced at £1600. It sounds amazing and the remap is the really clever bit, the engine is smoother and pulls stronger at low rpm. Luv it. I would like to try a Pikes Peak.
Thanks, Yeah they are such good bikes , as you know , we have obviously fitted the Akrapovic to loads of Multistrada’s and with the map yeah it really does make a massive difference , the Pikes Peak is very different to ride handling wise to the V4s , you know with your bike you’ve probably never though it need to turn quicker as they handle so good , but the spikes speak is crazy for a bike like this
Id love the Rally as Ive owned my 1200 Enduro for three years now and love it - just a bit top heavy but its not really meant for off roading. Great video as always!! 👍🏍🏍👍
Yeah the Rally is a great bike , really like the way it rides and looks .. I’ve never ridding one off road as such , and if I owned one I probably wouldn’t due to the cost , I wouldn’t want to drop it and probably couldn’t pick it up😂
I've just got back from a 9,000 mile road trip across the USA on my UK 1260 Pikes Peak. Never missed a beat on the entire trip. It's a 'forever' bike now, will never be sold or p/x'd. Just about to do a post tour full detail and service today. The RS looks perfect but £37k is ludicrous.
Awesome , the 1260 Pikes Peak is still a great bike , I totally understand that the RS is a lot of money, the bike is £32k and then the exhaust system will cost nearly £3k .. but what a bike..
@@hypermotardking we’ve all done it , you live and learn from things like that mate , yeah I bet they bike and parts ain’t readily available at the moment I guess
Thanks mate, yeah next will be the ride ,Liam is the only other person to ride the RS, I think?? Hmm maybe Paul has done a PDI ride on one, but thanks mate, appreciate everything
I've been riding my RS since February having had all the other lesser models previously. The RS is what the Multistrada range has been missing. It’s stunning.
Thanks , glad you enjoyed it .. yeah definitely come to see , you get a different experience compared to every other dealer :) oh and we actually just won an award from Ducati for best customer satisfaction… they only gave out 10 awards world wide …
Pikes peak for me, enginebetter suited to fast road riding, more midrange, 36000 miles servicing . Comfy I’ve done 15000 in last 20 months, love it. 😊👍👍
I have a 2018 multi enduro, I absolutely love the look of the new v4 rally in that black, but at 5.10 I think I would struggle with the height. I also take mine off road a bit so would be petrified of dropping a £28k bike . I’m thinking a desert x would be ideal but just not for touring on . Great vid 👌🏻
Ok , yeah it’s a little bit taller then your enduro I think as the seat is a bit different, that could be changed though , I know what you mean about taking such an expensive bike off road , So I’m 5,8” and ok on the rally but that’s just on the road , the DesertX is a great bike … but I want the rally to tour on my way to somewhere and the DesertX for when I got there to ride around on
Yeah in an ideal world would have them both as the enduro is good off-road but has its limits , but is perfect for long tours, we went to Morocco via Spain earlier this year . The desert x looks insane and would be perfect to go off-road. I’m going to the abr festival this month so going to take the desert x out 😎
It is high but I don’t find it a problem myself .. get to a Ducati dealer and have a sit on one, or better then that have a test ride, it’s the only way you will find out
sat here waiting for an onboard ride with a v4 rs, ended up watching someone eating a dry biscuit, nothing left to do but read the comments now about how good the rs might be, bunch of little teasers you lot are
Liam...Levator Scapulae injury from dumbell lat raises mate....exacerbated by too much inflammatory sugar....🤔...wonder where that comes from? Great vid lads....thanks
I was never a huge fan of the Multistrada until I started riding them tbh .. the pikes peak and exhaust are a perfect combination.. the new RS will be in the next video :)
@@ProjectMoto I saw a recent video of an RS on the dyno; it made 180+hp at the rear wheel. I think Ducati have undersold it. Having done 5000 miles on mine, I can tell you with no uncertainty the RS has more than 10hp over the lesser models.
The RS is an amazing bike mate but also a lot of money, will do the ride in the next video .. we ran out of time with the amount of biscuits and chocolate we had to eat 😂😂
@@ProjectMoto I’ll wait patiently 👍😃👍 I guess if it’s the perfect bike, I could sell all the others and buy one of those…….though I guess it would still be heavier than the 701 on the really tight stuff, and the 350 does it’s own thing…..so I’d end up just swapping the V4s 😃
Nonsense. Buy a used V4S with 2k miles for $19k usd or £14,480 , save a ton of cash. And enjoy. It’s essentially the same thing minus the unnecessary bells and whistles. These multis depreciate fast! That’s RS will Be £20k next year on the second hand market. ❤
Depends what you like and use the bike for , the RS is totally different to ride compared to the V4s , they are both great at what they do but very different.. and of course if you buy any used bike/ car you can always get it cheaper if that’s what you want to do
@@ProjectMoto com on man. You know that’s not true. They both have 2 wheels. Essentially the same engine and horsepower. Same body design. Same styling. Same LCD. 95% of bike is identical. Don’t be a Ducati sales rep for a minute and just say it the way it is. For example my K1600GTL is a completely different machine to my Multistrada V4S. That’s a true statement. Nothing is the same about those two. Change sprocket size on V4S and it will be even faster then RS due to more low end torque. The V4 S runs a 16-tooth front and 42-tooth rear sprocket. The RS, however, runs 15/43 numbers On top Of that several members are already having issues with the dry clutch on the RS and one member has converted his RS dry clutch to wet clutch. Only difference in engine is the lack of springs in the valve train system. desmodromic valves don’t have springs which allows RS to have higher revs BUT you are giving up longevity and reliability for the long run.
@@E39M5SPEED ok in equipment (although the full V4s has more equipment) Dash , but they are very different to ride, if you ride them both and can not feel the difference between the 2 engines and the handling then you either have no feeling and knowledge of what’s going on beneath you or you ride very different to me , the pikes peak is so different to ride then the V4s with the suspension and smaller front wheel , if you ride them back to back the difference is massive.. and the RS is different again to the Pikes Peak in speed and handling again
@@ProjectMoto yes I understand what you are saying but no way in hell it’s enough changes to justify double the price. I’d rather have 2 V4S than 1 RS.
@@E39M5SPEED of course there is a massive price difference, that’s just down to what people can afford or are willing to pay for a bike, don’t get me wrong £32k is a massive amount of money for a bike… but if you can afford it the RS for me is a lot better, especially for what I want to do on it, but I’m sure the V4s is perfect for what others want it for , normal riding and touring the V4s is better being more stable and better equipment, luggage etc..it’s still a brilliant bike… but I’d still rather one RS then 2 V4s’s :)
Who is Martin the biscuit aficionado? He gets to ride all the posh Ducatis, he borrows everyones bikes, I'm sure he gets discount at the cafe, and he doesn't have the longest eyelashes... He's not Henry the mild mannered janitor...
😂 ha I think most people in the UK put the captioning on 😂 but thanks for watching it all.. and yeah they never were my thing until I started riding them , they are great to ride
@@Ecotec2 Unfortunately not. However, I don't have an issue with the V4's engine. It's the size and weight of the new Multistrada that's a problem. It's huge even when compared to my 1260 Pikes Peak which is big relative to my M1200R. The reason for having a Multistrada has now changed. I'm now considering going back to a sport-bike to pair it with my Monster.

Motorbikes makes men smile all the time..
Yeah they do , sometimes cry but mainly smile :)
Pikes Peak all day long for me

When’s the rs ride video uploading then. I’m still in 2 minds. As I’ll be trading in. Pikes peak fully load new or RS fully loaded new argghh
Will be on soon , just got a few bits to do on the RS video .. what are you trading in ? Or you already have a Pikes Peak?
How much is the desmo?
Unfortunately The Desmo is not for Sale, it’s just on display in the shop
