I think we all knew that this bike would go fast and handle the twisties. What sets this review apart and makes it great is that the reviewers even considered what is involved in removing the luggage. I rarely see that in any review of any bike. Genius.
I've owned my 2013 Multi since February and I still come back here on days I can't ride just to see her in action. To say I love that bike would be an understatement.
All joking aside, this video review is hands-down the best I have ever seen on ANY bike. I'm an Aussie so was interested from the first few words I heard. The production quality, script, knowledge of the bike, video sequences, opinions and humour were simply first class. The comment made before about Gizmo being better than some dedicated bike reviewers is true. I would most definitely like to see more bike (& car??) reviews from you guys. I'm currently looking to buy a Multi, so thanks guys!!
Mate, I love your bike review, they're probably the best on RUclips I reckon. Just a small correction though: the Testastretta 11 is different to the Testastretta Evoluzione. The 11 degree model is used in Monsters/Hypermotard/Multistrada etc because it's the more agricultural engine. The Evoluzione is the superbike engine, much different kettle of fish, higher compression, overlap, timing etc etc. Just sayin' - keep up the good work.
You guys produce the best motorcycle reviews on youtube. Great sense of humor, covering all important aspects from a owners point of you and great camerawork.
I love this review. I had the pleasure of riding one of these a couple years ago when my Ducati Monster was in for a rear wheel recall and I found myself weeping uncontrollably when I had to give it back. A couple weeks ago my Ducati dealer gave me another loaner bike overnight and this time it was a 2014 Ducati Multistrada S model... and I find myself obsessing about it all over again. I really need to stop riding Ducati demo bikes. BTW-The windshield is better on the newer models.
I've seen this review a number of times.. Well, I've seen all of 'em a number of times. You make the best damn reviews in the business! I'm surprised that I don't see more from you.
OM(F)G! What a brilliant review! You guys have nailed it. Perfect length, (I could have kept watching btw) decent amount of useful detail, you didn't even repeat yourself which I thought was mandatory for motorcycle reviewers. AND it was funny. AND you're in Melbourne! Man this is great, I'm going to subscribe and see what else I've been missing!
I 've seen so many reviews and this is by far the best one. Keep on with this good work guys , and as someone bellow requested , a Tiger 1200 explorer test ride would be much appreciated. Regars from Greece.
I don't see why people think these kinds of bikes are ugly (the v-strom included). It honestly looks cool to me. A jeep doesn't look as "good" as a corvette, but jeeps are so useful that you stop caring that it doesn't have chrome 20 inch wheels with black leather interior and instead appreciate it for what it can DO that a corvette can't, then you start thinking the jeep's versatile abilities make it LOOK good too (ground clearance, knobby tires, roll bars, headlight guards). Same goes for these bikes.
Subscribed. You guys the best in depth bike reviewer guys on the youtube. You guys do bike review justice. Sorry for my bad english though. Love from Nepal.
Really great review! Best review I've seen of anything ever. I was 90% sure that this was going to be my next bike and you've pushed that up to 99%. Thanks!
Absolutely loved the review. You guys are funny and knowledgable. This one, along with that of Ducati Diavel are the best reviews I have ever seen. Keep it up :)
This is seriously the best motorcycle review I've ever watched on RUclips. Informative, good cinematography, no idiot reviewer going "and uhhhh the uhhhh brakes uhhhhh, ummmm duuurrrrr," cheesy music is kept to a minimum, all relevant points addressed, and finally (and most importantly), it's FUNNY!
Great review and spot on! I just bought one of these and it's being delivered tomorrow. YEA! I went to the dealer just to kill time on a Saturday to look at the Diavel. When I found out they do test rides, well sign me up. I took the Diavel for a ride and WOW, smokin fast! But if you are tall (6') the seat jams you up too close to the tank and it throws off a boatload of heat back on the rider. :(. Before leaving the dealership I was eying the MS. Another ride. And WOW!!!! I'll take it. Sold...
Fantastic review -- really enjoyed it and it was very informative. I wish all motorcycle reviews had what you folks do. I'm so subscribed. Thanks and cheers
really a very entertaining and informative review gizmag. keep up the good work and more sportsbike reviews please that are this funny and informative.
Being retired and now making less than $150 000 made me give up my BMW's and drove me to a V-Strom - which after 40 years of riding was the best thing that's ever happened to me. Sure, there are "better" bikes than the DL650 - the Multistrada being one. But I can ride my "Strom and even push it over without crying. Nope, over 100 000 km's on two 'Stroms, not one problem and a smile all the way. All that said, this was a great test / review . . .
You guys put very competent moto mags to shame with these tests. Why is so hard to understand we want the facts, with a little cheeky humor mixed in? A+ guys and gals and keep up the great work!
Great review - Ducati City kindly loaned me the exact bike you used for the review over the June long weekend. I had problem with my ST4S & needed a bike to run a Ducati Owners Club ride. Guess what two weeks later I'm proud owner of a Multistrada - having sworn they were to ugly to own. I agree don't test ride one unless you can afford it!!
imidiate Like! I've come 03:24 and can already say that THIS IS Spaaathe best review so far! This makes me want to trade my DUC streetfighter S to a multistrada. I would be able to ride all year with this bike compared with the SF. Time to watch the rest and GJ on the video.
When Australians say "four wheel drive", they mean a truck or SUV by assocation, NOT the literal drivetrain. ;-) Similarly, Americans also distinguish between 4WD (with offroad features like a low-range, locking differentials and hubs) and AWD (typically not always-on, with squishy center differentials, like the Ferrari). See also, "let's go four-wheeling", "just bought a four-by".
You may have testet it, but i've been watching these reviews and still stuck with my 125cc (15HP) bike, i seriously can't wait till i grow up so i can get myself a "proper" bike! :) Great review though
Your reviews are the best...and laugh-out-loud funny (not fake LOL funny). I've experienced that fake neutral on my GT1000 a couple times...sad, but glad to know it's not just my Duc.
The shots of the rear-view mirrors appeared to be "vibration free". Mine shake like a first timer on her honeymoon. Any idea if the test bike had some kind of mod to cure this?
this has to be the best ever review on the MultiStrada
I concur 👌

You really do excellent bike review videos. Factual, emotional, funny - it's got the lot. Well done guys.
MCN could learn a lot from this review.
Great review, I'm strongly considering getting this bike.
fantastic reveiw and i love the humor you guys put into it !!! keep up the great work

Best review I've ever seen, why do anyone but auzzie's even bother doing reviews? Love it
Surely the most enjoyable review I have ever listened to. And my favorite bike too!
You guys nailed it! Enjoyed it very much! Good video and sound, nice review, pros and cons, no overpowering music, and fun! Keep it up!
Best review I have ever seen. Covered all the things I wanted to know with all the humor and honesty I could hope for. Nicely done!
Please, please, please keep it up! I wish all reviews were like this one!!!
I tried it last weekend, it was the first time I was driving a Ducati. Result, I fell in love and bought one. Im gonna have it tonight.
10 years on. What a great review.

This is one of the best reviews I've ever seen. NO... it is THE BEST !!!
Bravo, Bravo!!!

the best and more fun review i have seen. congratulations guys
Wonderful narration and wit, nice job!
Brilliant Review!!! The "biking" mags and sites should take a note form you guys on how to carry out a comprehensive review.
Fantastic narration! Nice review!
@gizmag Diavel's the most interesting bike I've seen lately. Not the specs, but the design, and the imagined feel of it...
This is a great review. Very funny and still informative at the same time. Excellent work, keep it up.
really a very entertaining and informative review gizmag. keep up the good work and more sportsbike reviews please that are this funny and informative.
you guys should just test all the bikes out there. You're the best!
Wow, comportent perfect, just staring in awe of this absolute review!
You guys do motorbike reviews better than dedicated motorbike reviewers!
Please sir, can I have some more?
Want it so much!
Great review guys
Awsome review, love the velvet glove reference lol.

Love the review, absolutely brilliant!
The end is so funny 😂
Thorough review though, thank you.
Love your videos guys...so much better than our UK poop efforts (MCN look and learn)
You guys put very competent moto mags to shame with these tests. Why is so hard to understand we want the facts, with a little cheeky humor mixed in? A+ guys and gals and keep up the great work!
Fantastic review guys! Loved it!

Best bike review I've ever seen! (I haven't seen many.)
Best, amusing, entertaining, useful review I've seen. Great video and editing. Speedo blur too bad.
FWIW I loved this test, it was like listening to a mate I trust talking. And I'd never heard the bloke before. Brill.
Woah .....good one guys - all reviews should be as good 👌👌👌
Surprisingly good review!
Great sense of humor, nice review.
"Honeymooner's Dilemma" - pah! Brilliant work. Make more video reviews.
Amazing review. have you done one on the Scrambler 1100?
Saw two reviews, S1000RR and This one = Subscribed !!
i love these reviews, seeing roads I normally take daily in melbourne. Yayyy citylinkkk and 250s. One day I'll upgrade. One day....
awesome! i wish there were more reviews like this out there :)
Fantastic review!
You have done the Multi and the 1198.... time for the 848 Evo :)
imidiate Like! I've come 03:24 and can already say that THIS IS Spaaathe best review so far!
This makes me want to trade my DUC streetfighter S to a multistrada. I would be able to ride all year with this bike compared with the SF.
Time to watch the rest and GJ on the video.
You are boss! Your way of reviewing is awesome. Thanks
0:18 Ferrari do have a 4WD. The FF. And it looks quiet good.
When Australians say "four wheel drive", they mean a truck or SUV by assocation, NOT the literal drivetrain. ;-)
Similarly, Americans also distinguish between 4WD (with offroad features like a low-range, locking differentials and hubs) and AWD (typically not always-on, with squishy center differentials, like the Ferrari).
See also, "let's go four-wheeling", "just bought a four-by".
Hey, what's happened to you guys.
I really liked your reviews and the humor is brilliant.
PLEASE come back..........
You may have testet it, but i've been watching these reviews and still stuck with my 125cc (15HP) bike, i seriously can't wait till i grow up so i can get myself a "proper" bike! :)
Great review though
Great review, great humor, great bike, I subbed! :)
That was hilarious guys! Great job!!! And it convinced me that yes, I need one of those.
great review, I enjoyed every moment, thanks...
Best review I have ever seen. I am on the verge on putting myself in debt for 5 years to get one. Is the 's' really worth the extra?
Great review of my fav bike.
Your reviews are the best...and laugh-out-loud funny (not fake LOL funny). I've experienced that fake neutral on my GT1000 a couple times...sad, but glad to know it's not just my Duc.
you are a total crack up mate, cheers for your reviews. the ducati carbon one was off the hook
Nice work, great video and writing!
entertaining, informative, interesting comprehensive , great review thank you
best review ever guys thank you
Excellent review, thanks guys
The shots of the rear-view mirrors appeared to be "vibration free". Mine shake like a first timer on her honeymoon. Any idea if the test bike had some kind of mod to cure this?
Indeed a VERY good review, and with a good laugh, that's the spirit. Then i almost forget this incredible Ducati........NICE machine!!!!
What camera(s) did you use in the making of this video?
