I love my 2021 Ducati Multistrada V4S, just an amazing motorcycle & so lucky & happy to own one. Everyone ride safe 🙏

Nobody mentions huge heat generating from the exhaust. I own this bike, when temp is above 20 degrees Celsius, even with high speed, I feel my left ankle is almost burning.

Really nice review, well done 👍🏼 One question: I am 190 cm tall, so around 3 cm less than you. I wanna order the bike with the higher seat (875cm). Do you think wind protection will be ok? You mentioned for you it was really fine. Thanks for your feedback 😊

Idk how the sygic navigation is working for other people but it seems completely screwed up to me. Also when you have it running you can't play music to your headphones as the music on ducati connect doesn't look for itunes playlists. PITA

The fins on the side have little to do with downforce and all with leading engine heat out and cooling to your legs in.

Having had 2 multistrada i lived them both but the V twin even with vati valve timing is not a smooth engine. Ive moved to a BMW K1600GT but would now consider going back.

I have a multistrada 1260 pikes peak with a full termi and not sure whether it’s worth the cost to change

You should be concentrating on the road when your riding, not playing with all the bells and whistles this bike has.

I don’t see this as an update on the old bike. It’s only a Multistrada by name. It’s a V4 not a twin. It’s like saying it’s an ultra glide with an inline 4 cylinder engine. Dah. Not. This is a different bike. Wrap your mind around it. The only mistakeDucat made is that they called it the Multistrada and not the VS4strada
