@@KnoxArmour Yep, cinematography and editing are second to none, but you ruined the experience with the pointless invasive musac. Here are two thoughts you could apply to your decision making in this regard: Would I or anyone else sit and listen to that ‘music’? Do all motorcycles actually provide their own unique theme tunes? If you can honestly answer Yes and No respectively, carrying on with your present plan will no doubt leave you with your currently undeservedly low viewer figures. Ride safe. Peace
Great review. I’ve owned an original multi 1200S, the upgraded 1200S and the later 1260 Pikes Peak and swapped to the v4s a few months back. As you say the bike is stunning , refined but fun, great build, good Looking, comfortable. Best bike I’ve ever ridden
Ducati should let you do the next commercial for them ... awesome video! And even as a GD driver I have to admit that the V4 is a fantastic machine ... if Ducati would have launched the V4 at the same time like the 1250 I probably would have gone with the Ducati ;-)
I cant think of the amount of effort you put in that video. Thank you. Love my V4S, very comfy bike, the radars are game changer. Glad I chose the Multi over the GS.
Best bike I have ever owned. It is thursty if you ride it fast, but I have had 215 miles out of a tank cruising on the motorway at 70-75mph with panniers fitted, so it does depend how you ride it. I have the full Akra system fitted which not only looks great but it sounds awesome too, it's not too loud to be annoying on longer tours adds a bit of power and torque as well.
Glad to see you mentioned fuel economy. Just plain stupid. For24k touring /adv bike. . Deal breaker. I bought a Desert X instead. Major plus for both is 4yr warranty
I'm an early owner. Hit the 35.000km mark within the first about 1.5 years and still in love with it. I would buy it today again, without any regret. Thank you for this video, on the snowy days now, watching this kind of video is as good as riding itself :)
Fantastic video I applaud the production. I'm still in love with my V4s Sport after 14 months and 10,000 miles. Best bike I ever owned, smiles to the gallon👍
Yet again another beautiful review! I really admire the hard work you guys put into making the videos. The V4 is indeed an awesome machine, poetry in motion!
I have eight friends with V4S's (including my own) and we all get typically 160-165 miles until the gauge reads 0 miles remaining (very pessimistic). But then a further 14-15 miles until empty, so a real-world ('making good progress' - ahem) range of 190 miles. It's thirsty, but the price you pay for the best riding experience in the sector. Real world test: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sv712lzx3Kw.html
Loved the review, great quality. I'm lucky enough to own a 22 V4S and I've done around 3.5k on it this year but I've never had fuel consumption as bad as you mentioned. They are phenomenal bikes, I love it but hate the Ducati Connect and Sygic apps. I've fitted a Tomtom as I was fed up with the factory set up.
Test rode this but bought the V2S, in my humble opinion it’s over priced overkill for the road, the V2 only loses out on the autobahn. I personally wouldn’t take either off road but on the road they are both great bikes….just wish I had the V4 display.
Just got a V2S as a loaner bike while my V4S is in the shop for a service. The V2s is a great bike, but I definitely prefer the V4S. I also own an Aprilia Tuono 1100 and the Ducati V4 is the first to rival the Aprilia V4 as the worlds best engine for street riding.
Great review and im considering a multistrada myself so was so excited to see you actually tested it in my playground, around the lakes and Askham beach
Wow that range is a killer. For years I've been saying I won't buy something with less than 200 miles range. Before I moved to more adventure style bikes, I got caught out so many times with the Aprilia Falco SL1000 great bike, but some of the worst fuel economy I've come across.
Damn…. I need to chose between this and the Streetfighter V4SP. I’m 30. So I’m not old enough for a Multistrada, they say. But I do love how it rides and handles. The Streetfighter ist nice as well. And a thing of absolute beauty.
If you’re deciding between those two bikes, then you don’t know what you want to do on a motorcycle. Speaking from experience, that’s a problem. Any Touring? Commuting? Two-up? If those are all a “no” then get the streetfighter. Two or more yesses is the Multi. A yes on anything besides commuting: Multi. Done.
Tend to agree 👍 I’m getting one in December. I’m 90% sold on the SFV4 over the Multi. I do plan on driving Bilbao to Alicante once a year however. Short enough trip, I think the SF will be comfortable for that kind of ‘tour’ where I’ll be stopping every 1.5to two hours anyhow to look at scenery/take a pee😅. Will only be ever two up if my wife wants to go for a blast together without her bike…so not that often. Won’t be commuting at all, weekend/free time bike 👍 The Multis are incredible bikes non the less. I’m not overly sold on the looks however.
Brilliant video on some of my favourite roads. Been there a few times on my 1260s. Its like been in your own video game. Think it's going to be a v4 for me next.
get the Rally version, which solves fuel tank size to + 50% cap, and a wider phone charging bay placed on the left side; only defect left is the unsprung front breaking to deal with
I test rode this bike a couple of weeks ago along with another bike. I absolutely love it. If they gave it a 6 gallon tank I think you would hardly notice the difference looking at it, but it would make a huge difference as far as range.
Great machine. When it works. It is GOAT. I bought one a month ago and rode it until my first 621 miles service. Took it in for service, not problem. One next spirited ride oil started gushing out of the valves. Now its in shop waiting on "ducati expert" to advise them on how to "fix it". I paid $30k for this.
Quality vid as usual lads! Those roads you ride look fantastic, except that it seems to rain a lot! So is it better than the KTM SAS? I watched that review and you were very complimentary about that one too! And I'm wondering which bike you colleague was on in the drag race. Looks like it was slightly faster, but could also go on the beach!? Oh wait. Just saw you have a comparison vid. I'll have to watch that too
Thanks Perry. End of the day, they are both awesome and its difficult to make a definite call objectively. The Ducati probably has the edge though, but then again its quite a bit more expensive. Thanks, Aaron KNOX
Another great review video, really impressed by the production value here, especially from a new channel, way to go hard right from the start 👍 As an aside, I've finally worn my original Knox Recons to the point of failure. I've used then for everything from touring to trackdays as they're so comfortable. What would you recommend to replace them if I didn't want to go full Handroid?
I’ve had mine for a year and have regrets about buying it. It’s a great way to travel. It’s really only thirsty in Sport mode. If you’re cranking out highway miles, Touring mode can give you 350km (215 miles) on a full tank.
I'm now inspired to invest in some Knox riding apparel.... looks great with the MTS... maybe next spring need to get over the sticker shock of my Pikes Peak V4 first..LOL
I’ve watched this video like 20 times 😂. Yet, it is the main reason I am buying the V4S. I am taking delivery in the next couple of days, will send you pics 😊
The best Multistrada V4 review I've seen so far. Detailed review points, gorgeous footage showing an adventure bike being properly used offroad, no pointless blathering vlogging nonsense, and all this by a moto clothing company!
9:28 “Just little things make a difference “ I own the Hyperstrada 939, and I can’t hold back admiring the premium feels of the bike to pieces. For fuel , I would buy additional 6L fuel box mounting upon the top panniers so that the longer distances achievable
It's not exactly a hardcore off roader is it. It's more of a sports tourer/adventure bike with a slight capability of travelling on gravel roads with the stock tyres of course.
My first Ducati and I feel I got the best one. 2022 V4S Sport. Emotion sells motorcycles and the emotive feeling I get from your piece is how I feel when I ride.
Sounds amazing, but...what about the elephant in the room? What is Ducati's reliability like these days? I continue to hear stories about spending too much time in the shop.Who here has a late model Duc with some miles on it?
I think the Tenere or Africa Twin are more off-road oriented than this, and they are miles ahead in reliability than anything from Europe, this is more of a on-road luxury tourer.
The most important item that was not mentioned , how reliable is it going to be getting from a to b for many miles ,reliability has never been Ducati’s strong point , time will tell on the V4 . Of course the GS bmws have always been on top in the reliability and resale value in the European adventure bike market What is the value of a Ducati smile 😃
wish they made a kind of barebones version with fewer "extra" features and like 5k cheaper... would be much easier to own for someone who doesn't want to worry about the bike while riding
I mean your review contains emotions, i feel contected to machine emotionally, what a great job guys! i never found a better multistrada review on internet then this, it is second to none 🙌
