Great vlog, agree with your comments, I have owned my MS V4S just over a year and have completed 3900 miles - I luv it, as you say puts a smile on yer face. Tyre wise still plenty of tread on the Scorpions, when it comes to replacement I think I will try the Dunlop Mutants. The suspension is spot on for the road, I use mostly Touring or if I am getting a move on Sport which firms everything up nicely. Great bike.
Cheers Big Al, it’s interesting to see what tyre choices people are looking at I guess you’ve got to just bang them on and time will tell. I’m going to swap out the brake pads next week there literally nothing left on the front from the track day I did on it. It’s hard to see how they could better this bike. 👍
Thanks for that. I switched the fuel gauge to miles-to-go, and seems to be flawless for avoiding surprises. The SyGic is getting better. My only grief now is reconnecting the wi-fi when I stop. Or maybe I leave it on at a gas stop, but then accidentally walk out of range with the key. My tank box has my USB cable, registration, and spare key. No one will ever find it down there, or know what to do with it. Cheers from AZ.
Your welcome, I’m sure they will sort the navigation out eventually but apart from that it’s a brilliant bike. Ride Safe Alan. 👍
Angel GTs bro...
All road, weather awesome 💯
Nice review! I have the same bike and agree with all your comments (including the rather useless tank compartment !). I had a 1200S earlier and the V4 is better in all respects except fuel consumption. Interesting and impressive that you tried the OEM Scorpion tires on track - I replaced them with Angel GT IIs before my track day, but I guess this shows have good bikes and tyres have become these days. The Scorpions have slightly taller shoulders and I was using them right to the edge with no chicken strips left even on the road so I thought it was best to use something with a wider contact patch. I am going to try the Metzeler Sportec M9s next season (they come in 19" size) to see the difference. The suspension is excellent, I use Touring for 90% of the time and Sport only for active riding on smooth roads. For really bad and bumpy roads (and rain) I use Urban which makes it super-smooth and soaks up all the bumps (altthough becoming a little more bouncy).
Many thanks,I could of gone on forever with the review, the only thing I forgot to add was regarding the chain and sprocket change I did at 2,000 miles I did a separate video on that one. I’m going to try some other tyres next time just for the comparison. Fantastic bike for sure. Im still well impressed and I can’t see me changing for a good while yet. 👍
I test rode the V4s and I liked it. It is smoother than my 2014 Multi GT. Then I try to justify the extra 15,000 if I sell my bike or 20,000 if I trade it in and I just say no way.
I would spend the 15,000 on a nice used R1200RT for a second bike before I would spend the money on a new V4s. At some point the cost increases are just stupidly insane.
Love the new tech on the V4..... but personally I prefer the looks of the 1260s (review coming to my channel soon) Even the exhausts look better with the twin pipes, but would love some of your toys 😁
I think if you own a 1260 then stick with it. It’s a great bike and the new V4 is a lot of money, I really don’t think you get anymore pleasure out of a V4, the only reason I got one was because the 950s I had just wasn’t doing it for me on the power.
Great review! I'v had mine for a year and just completed 8k miles. Ducati London have been superb ; £289 for first service - cant complain. Tyres lack feel for me so fitting Road 6's next, have probably got 1k miles eft on the originals so again cant complain. Nav and connect is woeful , hopefully can get apple play one day.....Fuel consumption is what it is tbh , me and the missus did a European tour last summer and with us , full panniers and full tank of fuel the bike was 502kg (weigh bridge confirmed) and cruising at 130kmh we got 300km per tank which realistically is time for a break anyway! Around town commuting the consumption gets heavy but its still the best all round bike for me available. Mines the V4s full and its the only thing ive ever bought I use all the options and are happy with all of them. Can see myself getting up to 40k miles on this in the next 3 years then will replace it for another one without hesitation.
Hey Mark, many thanks for the comment.. it’s a great bike and im really enjoying it to. I can agree with the tyre choice, im
Thinking road 6 myself. Nice to see your putting the bike to some use, I really need to get some miles under my belt this year.. roll on the spring weather. 👍
Great video! As a side note, looking for another Dainese jacket. What jacket model is this one that you’re wearing? Thanks in advance!
Hi Tim, it’s called AVRO D2 TEX JACKET it’s been a good jacket and also zips to my bottoms, it’s not a gortex so if it rains heavy you’ll get wet. Apart from that I would buy another.
I've done 13000 miles on mine. I love it to bits. On track, I put the screen fully down, but I have a tinted MRA screen and deflectors as I'm 6ft 2. I have carbon mudguards front and rear, carbon heel guards and chain guard. I also use Calimoto on my phone.
That’s some decent mileage, on track I just took the screen off and it seem to work ok on the track. The Calimoto get some good feed back. The V4s bikes are amazing and really do come complete but it’s always nice to swap a few bits around. I certainly need to get some miles on mine this year.
@@thatbikersimon I have Spain in May two weeks touring in the sun. 👍
@@BIGGGESTAL excellent that’s my bucket list one for next year 👍
Simon I've dropped my bike on both sides and the crash bars really protected the bike. I simply used some wet/dry sandpaper to remove the scratches from the bars. Good as new. For me function over form and besides I like the look of the crash bars. I have also installed bar end sliders now that I know what happens when the bike tips over to either side.
Thanks for the update Mark, it really helps when we get feed back like this otherwise nobody know if they work or not. I might even get some bar end sliders myself. Hopefully going to ride some trails this winter so they will help.
@@thatbikersimon Simon of course. I appreciate your channel primarily due to your demeanor and approach. If you want to see something that will make you winch, perhaps give you nightmares as it did to me, just search "Ducati Multistrada V4/V4S Crash Bars Drop&Drag Test" and watch that video. Proud to say their stuff is made right here in my home state of California. IF I decide to aggressively use my bike offroad I will purchase their product to protect my bike. Since I went over when I had both panniers on the bike no damage happened to the rear. If those were not on the bike at the time then it would have suffered more damage.
@@markkitaoka8783 I just checked it out. that’s how to test a product. When I used to have my 950s multistrada I dropped it a couple of times and the panniers saved the bike and also makes it easier to pick up. I guess for the majority of guys they don’t want to get a scratch on their bike, I’m more relaxed about it these days and just enjoy the ride. 👍
@@thatbikersimon Right with you. A scratch or two took away the worry about 'if it would happen.' Because I owned a detail shop I have the skills to fix mine. I wanted to tell you that the mirrors held up well on both sides. I had slightly loosened both by an eighth of a turn to allow some 'give' in the stalks should I fall on either side. I felt that having them cinched down tight then places too much pressure and something would snap in the event of a fall. Glad I thought that way. A few scratches on the plastic, but nothing has broken on the mirrors.
You mentioned the "new feature" that allows minimum preload to be able to get your feet down. I'm a new MTS V4 PP owner. I'm a bit short in the inseam. Would like to drop the preload in city traffic. Are you talking of just dropping rear preload to Softest setting in the menu or...??
I’m unsure the PP suspension settings work the same as the multistrada v4s. The rear pre load drops to the minimum whiles under 70mph at one press of the suspension button. It works great for round town.
Check out my software video to show you
Ducati Multistrada V4.. Software Update.!!!

Different suspension I think, sadly. Might be wrong.
I have a PP and take the preload to 2 , when you ride off the suspension automatically adjusts to your riding style
Hi Simon you are still obviously still in love with you v4s I will give you some of my thoughts, at this time last year I sold both bikes I had a 1994 fireblade which was standard apart from a period scorpion can the other bike was a v4 turno with lots of carbon race mapped and full race exhaust totally different but both bikes brilliant in their own way the aprillia was obscene but hell what fun. I am 75 yrs of age and my wife god bless her is 67 she loved pillion on the blade but hated the aprillia any way they both went should have kept them had space and I ordered a v4s from Coventry which I had delivered for march this year. A little concerned about the height sadly balance is not has it was I had the lowering kit fitted along with full set of panniers. I know I’ve lost some ride height in doing this but I think my days of knee sliders are over. Absolutely love it 5000mls done couple of was ago trip to solo 10 hrs in the saddle in one day could never have done that on the other bikes this gets ridden. It has all the power two up loaded panniers no prob handles lovely tips into bends faster than the aprillia did the technology all gets used can’t knock it but have fitted a garmen on an iconic parts screen mount so enough said about that.could go on it is everything and more what I thought it would be but we are all individuals and we change our views over time the thought of something like a v4s a few years ago would soon have been kicked into touch keep up with the posts ged
Hi Ged, looks like your enjoying the bike just like me. They are bike bikes and seat night can be a issue,but like why you’ve done there’s always away around it. Im going to show my dad this message because he’s 67 and he’s always concerned about age and big bikes. It’s great that your living the dream. Im looking forward to some winter rides. Ride safe Ged 👍
Crash bars look great tbh. Thinking of getting them now aswell on my V4S.
I have fitted SW Motec crash bars to my V4S which look great in black and cost me £261..
There’s definitely more options out there now. I’m thinking about the bash plate to complete the mad max look and it depends on how often your trial riding or like me dropping a bike 😬🙄
@@thatbikersimonI installed that base plate and gotta say it looks really good. The original is a bit flimsy. Something you notice when you get the other one on.
Going for my 1000km 1st service tomorrow. Great bike, extremely happy with my choice 😊
Your bike is really shining even after 1 year. Have you done some sort of ceramic coating to maintain it?
Contemplating putting the tank + side pads, the original Ducati ones. Have you felt the need for it to avoid scratching the tank sides or front.
Please let me know and thanks for the video.
Cheers
Hey, I did do a ceramic coating. Check out my video on it Ducati Multistrada V4.....Ceramic Coated..!! 4K Video
ua-cam.com/video/pHNmA798hyA/v-deo.html
But I wouldn’t rush into getting the coating done just yet. I’m going to do a update on the coating very soon. Keep a eye out for that video.
The other option is the clear wrap which looks great. I would just get the front and the tank done for some protection.
@@thatbikersimon What about the tank + side pads, your thoughts please.
Thank you.
@@kurushunwalla I think it won’t hurt to put something on if your worried about wear and tear
@@thatbikersimon thank you.
I changed to Michelin Road 6 tires. They feel much better
Thanks for the info Rick. There’s so much choice 👍
Mostly ride mine with the wife on the back and i love it, the only slight criticism is the brakes need a lot of lever pressure when riding quick with a pillion, i think this is due to the pads which i plan to change for next year so would be interested to know what you fit.
Hi Simon, agreed I’m unsure about the pads, I’m going to swap them out in the next week along with some tyres, so il be sure to update everyone with my thoughts. 👍
Loving mine and don’t care what people think about it .
What do you what people think , it’s not a BMW where other riders won’t talk to you 💁🏿♂️
Do worries people still hang shit on it , because it's a v4 and water cooled . But I tell to look up the history on Ducati, and they'll find an early v4.
I wish Ducati would do a one helmet sized top box as the one I have is too big for daily use IMHO
I guess there should be a option for that I’ve always got a top box full of cameras ect but I can see what you mean.
Go to the Ducati metal brush guards and they won't wobble. Though I've only been to 100 MPH.
100mph was fine I was around the 130mhp mark and it was scary, but again I was fully loaded and it’s not advisable it these speeds. 😬
personally, I hate the Pirelli Scorpions. I found them quite slippery on the front in damp conditions, I'm just about to fit Bridgestone T32's.
I would be interested to see how you get on with them, I don’t tend to experiment to much with tyres, but I feel it try some different, I was considering the STRs for some trails ect this winter. I’m still undecided.
Never had any problem with the traIl 2s in the wet.
@@anxiousapplianceSame here, great tyre I’ve just ordered another rear…
I am so turned off by the cost of the Italian and German sourced exhaust slip inside and full system replacements. The slip ones do absolutely nothing for performance or sound so why throw away the money? The full systems are just so over priced. I am tempted to go the Chinese route for just a few hundred. Just a rip off if you ask me.
That’s not a bad Shout Michael a friend of mine bought a end can for his 950s multistrada and it sounded loud and absolutely fine for about £250. For me I don’t care about noise anymore all bikes are quiter now and it’s something I’ve gotten used to. 👍
or don't do anything. It's a good looking and classic ducati sounding exhaust. Get Akro sticker ....
Hi nice review. Where did you get the screen protector ?

Speed angles 👍
Ps SImon the 10 hr ride was a solo
trip to wales put typing down to brain not keeping up with fingers these days cheers ged
One of the worst styling changes on new bike designs is the failure to provide a real front fender. The poor designs of modern front fenders actually dump road debris and road salts right onto the engine and frame. This makes a mess of the bike and accelerates corrosion is you ride in the winter months. Ducati is especially guilty of this “styling” trend.
For 75 years bikes have had proper front fenders and rear fenders. Why practically eliminate them now?
This is very true, I’ve never thought about it but yes I can see why this is a issue. I guess looks have over taken practicality. 👍
I rest rode a MTS V4s. I wasn’t impressed with the front brakes. Lots of lever travel to get them to bite properly….
I totally agree Phil. I’m going to swap mine out in the next week.
@@thatbikersimon what are you going to replace them with?
@@philc7135 I’m going with SBS pads I’ve used these in the Streetfighter v4 it’s a cheaper option but I found them to be affective on the track so I’m hoping they’ll work well in the multistrada I’ve ordered the road ones not the track pads
Hola, soy Alejandro Ferrer de Córdoba Capital Argentina lamentablemente no se vende acá
That’s a shame. Hope you enjoy the videos here.👍
Was expecting an review of the motorcycle turned out to be explaining the motorcycle features and stuff
This is a older video. I was new to UA-cam so I’ll be doing a updated version soon as I’m approaching my 3rd year with this bike so hopefully the next one will be more detailed. 👍
@@thatbikersimon thanks and looking forward to it.
Was expecting an review of the motorcycle!!!!
I’m going to a new review very soon this was a older one when I were new to UA-cam. I’ve still got the bike and il be doing it’s 3 year review soon.
Co to za centralny kufer? Podrzuć link do niego. Pozdrawiam Kamil
Sorry I don’t understand the question? Central trunk?
@@thatbikersimonWhat is a central cutter?
How is everyone saying theres no shake to the handlebar with a top box? Im experiencing it too with my v2s.
The only time I’ve experienced it was when fully loaded doing 100mph on a windy day.
@@thatbikersimon how about when you're slowing down, does the handlebar shake?
@@Euvtoos I can’t say I’ve ever experienced that. Whats your tyres looking like? Since I changed to Michelin road 6 the handling is much better.
@@thatbikersimon stock tyres. But well, im upgrading to multi v4s soon.
@@Euvtoos cool the only thing you’ll miss is the fuel economy 👍 the V4s is a brilliant bike
To be honest when someone is continiously saying "to be honest" I tend to doubt the delivered message
Don’t worry I’m not on commission 😂👍
Just wondering why there is so much MS V4S for sale with so low milage, less than 5K miles, for about 35% depreciation on price 🤔
Don't understand, making long videos with music just explaining the accessories, man you ve it one year why not say about fuel consumption, maintaince cost and overall durability,, everyone try to be someone except himself
I guess I can’t please everyone 🤷♂️
True that
