Inseam & Ducati : How two different sized people fit on Ducati's. 

Great video! Don’t be intimidated by some of the taller Ducatis if you are shorter like me(5’6”). I bought a 14’ Hypermotard SP from Marty years ago and it was a blast commuting on it everyday.

I’m 5-6” and grew up riding motocross bikes. The Hypermotard is what I have my eyes on. It’s shorter than my dirt bikes and I don’t think I have ever ridden anything that I could touch both feet to the ground. Looks rowdy

5'6 here with a Streetfighter V4 SP and Multi V4 Pikes Peak. Tiptoes all the way but no problems whatsoever. Careful with the Multi though it's a bit weighty.

This was very helpful for a vertically challenged man like me. Thanks for putting this video out!!

Great video. Thank you for doing this. It’s extremely helpful for us short folks. 👍🏾 I sat on a Desert X this weekend and was completely surprised I could one foot it with the other on the peg at 5’6” with a 29” inseam. It felt a lot lighter than I thought it would be too.

Thanks for this. Very helpful in setting expectations across the models.

just a great video. its like youre reading everyones mind in content we need. especially these days when a lot of dealerships (especially in korea) dont have a lot of display models due to the problems in the global supply chain. cant say enough as im binging all your videos. cheers

Great video. You deserve all the success in your business.

Best video of the channel yet.

8:07 on the multistrada I think you said "left foot down, not supposed to, gear side." Actually, what you did is correct in most cases, left foot down and right foot on rear brake and in 1st gear.

Hi guys, what a great idea for a video. You are so right about not being able to check riding ground clearance on a complete range, Ducati or otherwise. I am still waiting for my V2S after waiting 6 months and have been concerned about the standard 32” seat, since I have been riding a Multi for 8 years with the 33” seat. Checked with the dealer and they recommended I go with the taller seat, but they never suggested that when I ordered. I am 6’3” so was worried that when the bike arrived (God knows when!) my riding position would not be optimal. Your video has pretty much confirmed my concerns. I note your comments about the current delivery situation. It is the same here in Western Australia where Ducati can’t even give me an accurate delivery!

Perfect video. Exactly what I was searching for.

This was an extremely helpful video! Thanks!

Really informative video; thanks from here in Scotland.

Well done guys, this was a great video and really informative. Also love the discipline you have in the way the showroom is laid out. All 1st class!

Thank you very much. Please do more videos like this!

Nice one guys! Always nice to see how the bikes fit for shorter dudes like myself!

That's a very cool video. You should do one showing your body position from the side on each bike to see the lean angle and the hip and knee angles.

With my 28” inseam, I’m envious of both you guys. This was a very cool video, though.

I’m 6’3 33” inseam…. I’ve been looking at the monster. Thank you for this video!!

Another great video, such a great line up of bikes….. and very interesting for us with little legs 😂

Super helpful video. Thanks!

Man you are my inspiration as short rider department! I love the Hypermotard 950 but this life is not for me, but I already bought Hyperstrada 939 2016 and, man I am so excited to ride anywhere anytime

OMG thanks. Im currently on Tracer 9GT but I think I'll go multistrada v4s next year. I was riding streetfigther v2 of mine friend for few weeks. I'm 175cm tall and it was looking exactly how you look on streetfighter. Now I'm 100% sure multistrada will be ok in case of my height :)

Nice video, it gives me an idea what Ducati I will buy.

Excellent video thank you.

I got the lower seat on my 22 Hyper and makes such a massive difference for confidence 👍🏻👍🏻

I’m 5’2” and got the 21 supersport with lowered seat I ride it perfectly fine

Thanks for this video.

Magic video!!!!

Thanks for this. Really helpful. Going from the Multi 1260s to the Panigale v4s -what is the rider triangle like on the v4s? Distance between peg and seat? I am also vertically challenged 5’7” - no problem riding the older Multi. & no problem on the short test ride of the v4s. Just wondering what you think?

This is awesome guys. I was about to call and ask Marty's height as I am part of the vertically challenged crew. Want a second scrambler but this time a Desert Sled...Desert X is sick but way too big for me. Hello from 🇨🇦

I'm 5'3". You ain't vertically challenged bruh.

Very helpful. Thank you.

The standard seat on the hyper only doesnt have a lot of padding because of the plastic shaping inside of it. The lowered seat has a different shaped plastic molding and has just as much cushion, if not slightly more

Very helpful. Thanks!

Good video. I would of liked to see a side profile of all the bikes

Im 5ft 6 with a 29inch inseam. Rides a 2021 1290 SAS, all standard. 850mm seat height. Same as my previous bike, 2018 v strom 1000.

I have a 2022 Hyper SP and and a 29in inseam. Of course I ordered the factory Lo seat which is a little better. But still way too tall. So what I did was I took the factory seat and modified it just like I've had to do with every tall motorcycle I've ever owned. Right now I'm sitting on one cm of jell straight off the seat pan this may sound uncomfortable but it actually isn't now I wouldn't want to do any 300-mile trips on it though. What you got to do is take some Gorilla Glue spray adhesive glue the factory foam down to the seat pan and then you take a bread knife and carve it all the way down to the pan you have to do this because the Ducati factory seat pan is not flat like most motorcycles. Got A large piece of gel off of eBay and laid it in the cut out area trimmed everything to fit. So now with just one centimeter of gel I can get my one foot down pretty well on the pavement not so much of a balancing act anymore when I come to a stop. This modified seat is about one and a half inch lower than the factory Lo seat. Which is about as good as it gets.

Thanks for this. Would’ve been even better if you had a third with a longer inseam and then also showed the rider triangle from the side of the bike with a foot on the peg.

From my experience, it's not just about the seat height, but also how wide the seat is. A few years ago, I was on the market for either the Ducati Hypermotard 950, or the Aprilia Dorsoduro 900. Despite the Hypermotard 950 being lower than the Dorsoduro 900 by the specs, I can't tippy toe both sides of the Hyper, but I can on the Dorso so I chose the Dorso 900 in the end, and never looked back.

Hi Marty / Colby. Great Video! I belong to your club Marty, i am also 5"7 and i would like to know what are the options for lowering the MS1200 as i am aiming to buy a second hand one. Less thicker seat? Suspension? Thank you

Good video, thanks

Thank you

Thank you very much for this video, just a question, where could be located de v2s in this line ? Higher or lower than the v4 ? Thank you. Just added another question, I thought that the multistrada lowers the preload more when it is stopped (or going slowly) and running? Or is it at the minimum when stopped ? Thanks again.

If possible, could you show videos sitting on the bikes with the low seat options. I’m especially interested in the Streetfighter v4

Re: Multistrada V4S, what would the overall seat height be with both the low seat and the factory low suspension option installed?

Hey guys. Thank you for the great video. I’m the same height as Marty. Can you give any feedback on Streetfighter 848? And also how good is it for a two up ride. Thank you.

Wish these companies make them all low seat with a high seat option. Some of these bikes have no more room for low seat but you can alway add height.

This is super helpful. Vertically challenged person myself. Have an Aprilia with a 31.7 in seat height with the 30 in inseam. Looking heavily at the the monster and street fighter v2 as my next bike but was worried about the seat height. Besides me sitting on one this is the next best thing.

I want the Ducati on the display orange and yellow bit of white looks like onroad off road the only one you didn't sit on behind you..... How much and is it available?!

Is there low seat sold seperately for the Multistrada Pikes Peak?

I am 6.5 and the desert sled is perfect

Did you now that the Multistrands S models can have the loads changed in all three modes urban mode has the lowest load settings, which will lower the bike too.

Thanks for the info finally not intimidated by the seat height but can't afford it anyways

Can i know how seat height of panigale V4S? Btw it's a great video😆

hyper is the beautiful one!

nice video but left out the desert x! 5'10 but 30'' inside leg do i need just the lower seat or get the lowering kit? i do want to flat foot it if possible

Can you put gold shox in monster???

I'm 5'8" and I'm on my tip toes with my 21' V4. Trying to park it on any type of incline while walking it is a huge pain. It's a small inconvenience really, no issue lol

Dude u tall to ride anything all that matters is size of ur heart!

Hey sir what is the brand of your hiking boots?

Sent a message through your website… trying to locate an oem scrambler cafe racer seat from the first gen version (dark brown) for over a year with no luck. Can you help?

I'm an 8'0" swamp monster from the mesozoic era. I reckon the Hyper will git er done.

I have an M1200R and a MTS1260PP both tall bikes. I also have a 30" inseam with no issues. In fact, I set the Multi's seat to it's highest as it provides more legroom comfort. Taller bikes should not intimidate anyone with a short inseam as you have a riding comfort advantage.

5 foot 5 here and was going to buy a multistrada but my 28 inch inseam just let me down, could not get it off the side stand

How much does the first service run? And a desmo service on any of the L twins?

What bars end mirrors are on the monster

I’m 5’6” with 31” inseam, what’s your opinion on how the torso/arm reach is in “feel” to the HYPERMOTARD handles?

Hi guys would someone that is 6,6 be able to fit on a street fighter?

Hi, i’m 6.2, what Ducati fits the best?

Best Monster I've seen....wish you guys had a Chicagoland store.

nice

It sucks having a 27 inch inseame. I'm 5'5 and i have to get up on the pegs when I get off.😂 swinging a leg over is a problem for me. 😂

Any bikes for someone who’s 5’2 on their best days? With maybe a 28-29 in seam?

(Me being 5'2") Ok i need leg extensions now.

I have a 30” inseam and I have to stand on the peg and swing my leg over, otherwise I cant clear the bags on my Multistrada.

Could you record another video for tall people, please?

What tall grey tshirt in cm

Want the bike on the box the one you didn't sit on.... How much....

What would you recommend for someone that’s 6’10”

At 6' 2" im saving for the hypermotard

How to measure inseam for motorcycle please reply anyone know about it

The eternal size issue. I'm 6.2 and got so frustrated that my different Ducs all looked so tiny with me on it 🙄 qexcept fot Ktm 1260 and co, bikes that are not dissapearing under you are as rare as non intimidating bikes for shorter riders.

Coaby is an interesting chap with some great suggestions and ideas there. :)

How would a supersport compare... 29 Inch inseam...

Kobe perfect height and size

Height is not always a factor. I'm a little over 5' 9'' with a 33.2 inseam so same as the 6ft guy in this video and should be able to flat foot anything he can lol. Height doesn't always equal longer legs it depends on your overall proportions.

Lol I’m 5’10 and in my vans and on my V2 sitting straight up I’m on my tippy toes. The seats are super high.

I'm 6ft 1 and been told any Ducati supersports bike would be too small for me :(

so i am lucky to have 32 inseam (no shoes) at 5'8''

Is it possible for you guys to find this part: 96880051A (lowered seat for Multistrada 1200s 2014)?

5”8 hear , tear tear

Btw , 5 foot 7 is not even that Short

Moral of the story is.. its all good if you're 6ft plus.

How to measure inside leg for motorcycle can anyone please tell me as it is urgent.

ughhh, 29" inseam and the bike I want has the tallest seat height (hypermotard). Colby is angry at something/someone.

Dammit I came here to see the 1100 scrambled lol. Good vid though

Come on!! guys, motorcycles are characterized by riding skills. They are never categorized by weight and height. Riding skills only make the bike bigger or smaller. Not your height. Cheers!! Just learn to ride the bike you love most. Rest everything falls in place if you keep working. I am 5'4" and ride anything on my way. Currently riding desert sledge.

Perfect 👌🏻
