I have done about 35` miles on my 2016 and I 100% agree with you, but I recomend a 14 teeth sprocet in front to make it stronger on low rpm, instead of the 15 teeth OEM. And I got new foam for the driver seat from Seargent. It lowered the seat hight a few cm and is more comfortable.
@@4KMotoring yeah it’s interesting the V4 have a bit more power but less torque than the V twin. And certainly in Sydney where I live the V4’s are definitely not cheap!
Thank you for these videos on the 1200S. Plenty of useful information in these videos while I was doing my research. I just traded in my 2015 Monster 1200 and picked up a 2015 MULTISTRADA 1200S. Appreciate these videos in aiding my decision. Thank you
Hi M8 I recently bought a red twin :-) I am not a tall guy and I see you also lowered the seat, however now there's a gap between the seats, did you put something there to cover the gap ? i.e. rear and front
The bike came with a trim piece that screwed into the rear seat to cover that gap from the factory, you can probably visit your local dealership or eBay to find the piece

Excellent multi-year long-term owners review. Agree - much better looking than the V4. Thanks for doing this!
Good video mate. I bought a 2016 1200S just over a month ago and absolutely love it, they certainly are awesome bikes!!!
Agreed! I've been looking at the new V4 but I'm not sure the upgrade is worth it!

Enjoy it! Out of all the bikes I have ridden, the only thing in my mind that still tops my 2015 Multi is my new 2022 Multistrada
Great bike, congrats
Great video. Ive got the normal 1200DVT without the skyhook suspension. The best bike ive ever owned, by far.
Not a bad choice! After experience the Skyhook suspension for a few years, I can't go back!
Thanks for great vid mate 👍🏻
Totally agree with you about the look mate🤟 but 2022 pikes pike litte bit better looking than first genetation v4s
Have you seen the new V4RS? Now that's a looker
No not really.. i have a look
