The engines are quite amazing, in this video I didn’t want to hit the throttle hard but that’s probably what viewers want to see. Thank you for watching be safe more to come 🙂
Seriously I’m glad you like…respect the bike. I like them all. I love those country roads my god do. I hope you’re enjoying roads where ever you live….thank you thank you 😊
Tim thank you, what a great comment. The more I ride the better I become, I totally agree with you. Be safe and many thanks for the supportive comment.
My main bike has been a HD Ultra CVO for the last 12 years. Love the bike but I too decided I wanted something a bit more versatile. I spent a few months going back and forth between a BMW, Ducati, Africa Twin, and Tiger. Came close with all of the bikes but ultimately I realized I missed the power of my old ZX11 but wanted something with an upright seating position, power, wind protection, and the ability to go out and explore forest roads. Your video sounds like my exact same though process so about a week ago I went in and bought the 2024 MSV4 Rally . I'll keep the HD for cruising but I think this next summer will probably be mostly spent on the Ducati. I look forward to getting to know the bike.
Eric, I could go on and on how my Ducati exceeded my expectations. I believe the quality of this motorcycle is as good as any motorcycle including the Japanese brands. My dealer service department has been excellent. The ride and performance on this motorcycle is unsurpassed that kind of makes me nervous because every time I get on this motorcycle, I’m driving it faster and faster. I truly hope you enjoy your motorcycle. It is a great machine as is your Harley Davidson. You probably have the best of both world please ride safe and in peace thank you for supporting my channel. God bless.
@@maraudermitchelliThank you for the nice response! Yes I’m truly excited and at 59 it feels good to be looking forward to spring even if it’s months away!!! I’m going to be day dreaming all winter about my summertime rides!!! Great channel you have here and I really like the way you’ve described this bike and how you ride it. This is more like the way I’ll be riding mine. I’m a pretty tame rider as my speed days were fun but not nearly as necessary anymore. Although now and then it’s fun to test out the HP! Anyway God bless you too and stay safe out there!
Boy are you lucky and I have to upload an update on this bike all the accessories are mounted. Be safe let me know when you get your bike...happy birthday.
Boy you have a great bike...very great bike. The Rally puts a smile on my face every time I look at in the garage and it is so great to ride. Let me know when you get your next bike. Ride safe.
It's well worth the wait. All manufacturers have their issues as does Ducati but Ducati is so innovative and consistently launching new designs in categories new to the company. They are so technologically and ultra performance oriented. Please let me know when you get you bike I'm sure you'll love it. Ride safe and thank you
Mitchelli you have to ride a Vespa and do a video on it!! Please!! It wud be your best video ever!! Go to Erie County Scooters and charge your batteries!! I look forward to your Vespa video. 😎💪🏽✌🏽
James I had to put 60 miles on the Duke to get her first oil change so I jumped on the thruway. The wind was horribly inconsistent with a crosswind which I did not enjoy. I pulled off at a rest stop my hands were cramping, and I parked to make a phone call and a Vespa pulled in the stop as calm as could be. I felt like such a wimp...gosh. Those machines must be impressive I believe generally scooter owners love their machines. I would like to ride one we'll see. Thanks for watching the video and commenting be safe.
I’m could believe when I was editing the video I don’t even remember the plane, I cut much of the b52 numbers out what the hell. Thank you I appreciate you be safe 😊
Congratulations on the absolutely beautiful bike, its very capable and just a hell of a bike, it does need an exhaust though, the engines are so suffocated these days with the large cat. Ill suffer with my 2017 multistrada enduro 1200 for a few more years though, i can't justify the price of this brand new.
@@maraudermitchelli Once a biker, you are always a biker, it's in our blood! There are times where I thought about quitting riding and then every time I ride it takes me into my happy place, no stress or worries and just pure fun. Stay safe out there and keep the rubber side down, Riding keeps us young! From a fellow biker across the pond (UK).
@@Jjengering Truthfully I got little choked up when I read your comment...thank you I needed your comment this morning. I'm greatly to have fine people like you watching my videos. Ride safe
This bike is made for tall people. I’m 6’2” this is not a small persons bike you can raise the seat if needed it’s adjustable. Great motorcycle my height is in my torso also. Ride safe always willing to help. 🙂
I've been looking at the V4 Multistrada as more of a sport touring bike. I have an Aprilia Tuareg that I really enjoy for adventure riding and it is great offroad but it really isn't comfortable for long highway rides. I want something that I can ride the Ozark mountain roads and can take on gravel roads but nothing more that maybe a Jeep trail. I would keep the Tuareg for more serious adventure rides, but want something I can ride for a week on a multistate tour.
Bill I just posted a video how my multistrada Rally is better than the multistrada grand tour I’d suggest you watch it. It’s a fantastic sport touring bike and with the 8 gallon tank it has awesome range. Please let me know if your watch that video. Btw I average 42-48 mph on a ride using adaptive cruise and cruising in higher gears. Tuareg is a great bike. Ride safe thank you 😊
@@maraudermitchelli I’ve been doing my research. Looking for something more road oriented but I like the adventure type bike with the upright seating position and higher seats. I’m a 60+ rider returning to riding after retirement. Also, looked at the BMWs including the R1250RT sport touring model. Ride with a bunch of GS riders. Like the Ducati and live near my Aprilia/Ducati dealer!!! Has looked at some of Big Rocks videos on the Grand Tour.
Tim I purchased the GPS with the bike as an accessory. The mount is expensive it maybe hundreds of dollars the unit although it says Ducati on the side is Garmin. I could find no videos or pictures to show how this is mounted...dealer originally told me it is mounted on the bars...ugh. It is mounted on the windshield brackets and is just amazing. The highest marks for this unit. Although I can program destination i need to learn how to map my own routes. I hope this helps be safe.
No I haven't search. I'm sure there's several companies that make pegs...not sure about the levers. A desertx peg maybe the same as this bike...I'd ask the dealer. Please let me know what you find. Ride safe
The stock one has two threaded holes in it, and comes to us in the lower position. Having said that, it still didn’t go high enough for my adventure boots, so I purchased an adjustable one from Ducabike. It’s perfect
So I made a temporary one with an 8mm bolt. It was the best size to slip fit into the existing peg hole. Works pretty good for now. I can post a pic if anyone wants to see it. HNY all :)
AHAHAHAAA.......you got corrupted my friend, power absolutely corrupts Pete. Nice bike, it is what I aim my next bike to be also when my tractor is paid off in 25.
I knew you’d like corruption can be fun. She’s in for an oil change now and they checking the front brakes. More to come and as always I love you comments. Be safe 🙂
Nothing like the sound of a Ducati and the weight savings it brings. Tech is just a bonus.
The engines are quite amazing, in this video I didn’t want to hit the throttle hard but that’s probably what viewers want to see. Thank you for watching be safe more to come 🙂
I’ve driven those roads a thousand times when I lived there. Holland NY. Great bike!
Seriously I’m glad you like…respect the bike. I like them all. I love those country roads my god do. I hope you’re enjoying roads where ever you live….thank you thank you 😊
Beautiful bike! Congratulations! Ride as much as you can!
Tim thank you, what a great comment. The more I ride the better I become, I totally agree with you. Be safe and many thanks for the supportive comment.
as always the best wow that bike is like the sports car for bikes amazing stuff
Oh that was not my goal…but you are absolutely right, so right you are 😊 be safe man

I have a 2018 Ducati Multistrada 1260 Pikes Peak, the V4 Rally will 100% be my next motorcycle.
Boy you have a great bike...very great bike. The Rally puts a smile on my face every time I look at in the garage and it is so great to ride. Let me know when you get your next bike. Ride safe.
Waiting for my new Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour to be delivered and can't wait.

Suffocated to only 170hp. Jesus wept.
Great video. How tall are you? I’m 6’3 with a long torso wondering if I’m too big for the bike

Can you comment on the GPS set up you have please? Thanks for the review.

Aviate, navigate and communicate :)@@maraudermitchelli
Any trouble seeing over the gps? @@maraudermitchelli
Non Tim...but my height is in my torso, I couldn't be happier with the setup. Others may have issues if their shorter.
I'm looking to add an extended gear shift peg. Have you seen one aftermarket? Thanks!
No I haven't search. I'm sure there's several companies that make pegs...not sure about the levers. A desertx peg maybe the same as this bike...I'd ask the dealer. Please let me know what you find. Ride safe

@@Multistriding I rode the Duke with my ADV boots for the first time 2 weeks ago...I may have to buy that lever. Thank you very much for sharing.
Thanks for the lead on Ducabike! @@Multistriding
So I made a temporary one with an 8mm bolt. It was the best size to slip fit into the existing peg hole. Works pretty good for now. I can post a pic if anyone wants to see it. HNY all :)
