Love all the comments on here from people who have never owned or ridden a Ducati, I bought a 2022 V2S after owning three GSs, love it and this looks even better, worth the price in my opinion.
This is now Ducati Multistrada that I would actually buy, love what they did with new V2, and other updates ❤❤❤. Would love to see Pikes Peak version 😊😂❤ Great video keep it up 🤟
Had waiting for this bike as a potential lighter eventual replacement for my current 1250GSA. Disappointed therefore to see Ducati have really gone for it in terms of the significant price increases pretty much ruling it out…..good job there’s plenty of keener priced bikes either already on the market
That beak makes the bike look like a Tracer 7 with a Puig aftermarket beak that some owners add. Not as pretty as the old one imo but I’m sure I’d get used to it. What I wouldn’t get used to is the old one’s behaviour at below 3500 rpm (aka around town and in traffic). Let’s see if this new engine is better there.
I think the new tiger 800 sport, and the tracer 900 are the comparos. It all comes down to the engines IMO. The Testastretta was a wonderful exciting motor. Let's hope both this and triumph, haven't devolved into soulless lumps like the BMW rotax twins.
Interesting developments, but not going with a 17” front will be a downside for many potential buyers given that there are absolutely no pretenses for “off road” requirements from the platform
I think that with the current state of the new bike market and th news of dealerships closing and big name manufacturers going into liquidation that nearly 16.5 k is a big ask . With the 2nd hand market plummeting I dread to think lwhat the resale will be in 3 years' time . Could catch buyers out if purchasing on PCP
Everything that you mentioned about the most of the torque being delivered pretty low and ultra linear, is really interesting. Although, we should mention that in 2003, Triumph had done something similar with their 955 Sprint RS, which was ultra-linear too, and besides having 115-120 hp, it produced more than 10 Nm of torque at 5.100 rpms! The engine sounded (and felt) better and pulled harder than the new Monster 937. And everyone said that it was... a boring bike!!! (spoilers: it was not!) Yeah... didn't have all these (mostly useless) electronic gadgets, but otherwise... what 's the actual evolution in the past 20 years?
Triumph is a replacement for the original Tracer 900,but thanks to the bike renters,the price has jumped £4GRAND...so 2 original Tracers for one Ducati?
@@williamrae9954 try reading my comment again. I didn’t say it was a sport bike. It does however emphasise sport over touring compared to the Ducati which has a 19” front wheel and a long wheelbase
I just sold a V2 because they valve service costs £1.200 pounds so this bike might be more expensive but hopefully cheaper to run. And does they base model have cruise . But all said I definitely want one think it looks amazing good job as always Ducati.
You don't buy a Ducati and whine about the costs. Its a given its going to cost A LOT for anything and everything. Its not known as the Ferrari of motorcycles for nothing.
@@spartanx169x Ducati is not known as the Ferrari of motorcycles... They're known as the company with lots of reliability issues. Ducatis lose over 50% of their value after 1 year and never increase in value, not even limited edition models. These aren't Harleys buddy. Motorcycles were invented for cheap and efficient transportation, if a motorcycle doesn't meet those requirements then it doesn't serve a purpose.
Great video mate! this will be a very interesting bike to go head to head with the new Tracer as is in the same price point ! Will be nice to know your thought on this.
Was looking forward to seeing what this looked like with the new engine. Think they should have upped the torque and power a little bit, that's what the market expects. Bit pricey for the S version which is the only one worth getting.
The new bike looks great, however I have just traded in my 2020 950 Multistrada for a Triumph Tiger GT pro. Probably about equal to the base V2,Except. Heated Grips, Seat, centre stand and electric suspension set up on the rear for £100 less. I think I made the right move. It also feels less top heavy and more manageable.
@@liq2 I am finding the engine smoother, which surprised me as I rode the last version of the Tiger 900 and didn't like it. It seems just as quick and the handling feels more secure and the weight feels lower down also I find it a bit easier to get my feet down, so a bit more confidence inspiring.
People cry about losing power. Context: you'll GAIN power where people run engines the most (4500-6500 rpm). Also, greatly extended service intervals with valve springs, also a lighter engine. As you said, heavier crank inertia will make driving off at lower revs a breeze.
@@Waldo1122 It's loaded - mainly you don't get the electronic suspension. It is around the same price as the Yamaha 900 GT, Guzzi Mandello etc.. Do people really cross shop it with the AT?
@@anxiousappliance Loaded with what? All it has is an engine at that point, no premium features, no heated seat, no heated grips, no automatic lowering.
Ducati is truly a premium brand and everything about it is expensive. I like this motorcycle but it's too expensive for what it brings to the table. This category is packed with better options at a lower true cost to own.
@@anxiousappliance Yep I have and it is no different from any other motorcycle, maybe if you actually worked on your own bike you'd know how simple it is.
@@Waldo1122 Getting ducati serviced is no different than any other bike. Since you are now a mind reader, I'll venture you are a 12 year old trolling. LOL
@anxiousappliance The cost for my Multistrada v4 was $800 for first service, $600 per oil change, $2000 for valve check, $200 an hour for labor. My Africa Twin was $200 for the first service, $200 for an oil change, and will likely be $600 for the valve check. $100 an hour for labor.
It’s probably really good but do you need the complexity, cost and fragility of variable valve timing and monocoque frame - I’m beginning to adjust my needs to a new lower middle class reality and buy cheap older bikes for pennies on the pound
I think the timing chain replacements provably go by mileage (?) on the new motor, whereas the 937 belts are to be changed every 5 years, even if little mileage is done
Hmm. No Desmo valves. Sounds like a budget move to me. Regardless of the price rise. So what should a budget Ducati brand be named? Brembo has ByBre, should this be called the ByDuc Multistrada? Still looks like a good bike tho.
@IanTed I agree with your point here, regarding Desmo valves and real world performance and maintenance costs. I've ridden a few Ducatis over the years- unfortunately I've never owned one- and the one I'd most like to own is a 900GTS. A valve spring Bevel. My point was more directed to the cost factor. If Ducati are rationalisng their engine lineup with a cheaper to produce engine to be used in a greater number of models, why the steep price increase? It should actually be the other way round, a price Decrease. Or so it seems to me.
The tall first gear in combination with how lumpy the old 950 testastreta was bellow 4000 rpms was something that really annoyed me on the previous V2. I think the new engine and gearing changes will be a real improvement.
It is a pity it has no electronic suspension. My Multistrada 950S from 2019 is still on another level suspension wise to the new Stelvio. I would have liked an electric suspension Stevlio, but MG still have not done it.
No commentary on the change to timing chains and dumping the desmo valve gear? Very significant changes that should greatly extend service intervals similar to the MTS V4 which SHOULD decrease cost of ownership significantly. And yes, it's expensive and I think Ducati will have a bit of a time selling it at those prices. You can see the market push back on pricing.......
From what I have been able to tell the entire motorcycle industry is in decline in terms of sales. Can't say why, but it is. And its probably going to get a bit worse before it gets better.
This "70% torque availability already from 3500 rpm" seems a bit planted marketing. If you overlay the V2 and Testastretta torque curves I cannot see any significant advantage until those higher revs even with this VVT technology.
I dunno a few k’s isn’t going to make that much difference - I just bought a bike that weighs 800lbs and it’s brilliant, actually nimble and goes down a twisty road with real excitement
It is true - there is no service upside, but 18k miles is still good in the class, and you no longer have the risk of a broken belt and a trashed engine. Will be dynamic and entertaining like the Testastretta we'll see - doesn't sound like it though.
All good except the dash, only 5" and no apple carplay/android auto in 2025 is unacceptable, Ducati and Bmw are premium brands and don't offer it, but you get that from CFmoto for half the price. I understand why they don't want to make around 125-135ps bike (because of V4), but that would really be a sweet spot for most riders. V4 is too powerful and this can be a little too slow especially when loaded or with a pillion.
Typical over priced ducati , Great idea variable valve timing . Um More to go wrong ! And lets see Less torque than before and move up 2000 in the rev range Great idea for an adventure bike .. NOT Buy yourself a transalp for 6k less and reliable Or for the same price treat yourself to THE BEST adventure bike out there, The africa twin
So now I have a dliema Rob@motobob - DesertX or V2 Multi? I guess the DesertX will get the new engine in 2026, I'm 95% road and I'm quite short so will need the lowering kit fitted to the DesertX ? I'm going to ride them back to back in January so I'll update on the decision - current head says Multi and heart says DesertX.
I get why manufacturers always look to increase horse power on sports bikes but I have no idea why on a bike such as the Multistrada you’d put in an engine with more horsepower but less torque ? 🇬🇧
Less power at higher revs - where do I sign up? As a '23 SFV2 owner, I cannot tell you my disappointment at this. Ducati: what in the world were you thinking?!?
Well done Ducati introducing this new model 2 weeks after Motorcycle Live where they couldn't be bothered to to show it TOTAL disrespect for the British customers
Linear power creates a flat tq curve. That's how the math works. Your gearbox gives you a "sense of torqueyness." First gear torquey. Sixth gear, not so torquey. A large flywheel keeps the engine from spinning spinning up or down quite so fast, so the bike doesn't feel so jerky getting on and off the throttle. Everyone does this ride height crap wrong. It would be nice to see if Ducati did it right. Do you know if you can activate it to lower the bike before you get on it? The problem with being short is getting these damn bikes off the stand. If it won't activate until it's moving, it's almost useless. The correct way to do this would be for mfgs to always default to the lowest ride height when the bike is off and press a button to increase it once you're under way. Lowering at stops is okay, but that's not as big of a deal as trying to get them on/off the kickstand. Here's the thing everyone reviewing this is missing. The maintenance. This new engine only requires valve checks every 40k miles if you want to. And there's no more cam belts to change. This is a HUGE improvement for people who ride a good bit. Makes the bike almost as easy to maintain as a Harley.
Seems it will be a fantastic bike with lots of features. Loved my 2017 950 and would love going to this one in a year or two, but the price has gone stiff… will see…
Ducati is own by Audi, so basically VW that is about to be bankrupted, I will wait until they sell the brand to a Chinese manufacturer, maybe the price will go a bit lower, thanks for the video anyway.
Superb update as always ;) @motobob Quick question regarding the weight reduction: how does Ducati calculate the weight loss -18kg vs. MY22 in their premiere video??
Your videos are a source of......haha got ya. I'm just filthy flesh bag with a meat-based processor. I have basic desires such as Italian motorbikes that I can't afford.
Dialog and narration is very cringe. Almost no time spent comparing suspension, engine, ergos, strengths & weaknesses. All of the statements made in this video have been made 100 times already. Better title is “2 guys pretending to go on a motorcycle adventure with poor writing and a chase vehicle”.
They managed to ruin Ducati's most beautiful motorcycle, it looks like a Suzuki!! The improvements are perfect, the new model, but what a BAD design!!! The new motorcycle looks like a LEGO, it lost all the harmony and beauty of the previous model. Put a picture side by side for you to see and then put the new model next to a Suzuki!! What they did to the V2S aesthetically is a joke!! Fire this guy!! Think of an angry guy who would trade the old V2S for the new model, that's me.

It is about 100lbs lighter than your GS - cheaper too. Ducati's have always cost what they cost - much like BMW.
I replaced my 1250 GSA with a 2022 V2S, never regretted it once, faster, superb handling and doesn’t rattle.

Totally agree. Just because it's ADV styled doesn't mean you have to overly cater to the 0% of riders who are taking this bike on BDR's.

Ducati unaware of the continued slump in Motorcycle sales. They were expensive, now a further increase in cost…
Ducati sells around 60k motorcycles a year, and will probably sell 60k motorcycles next year - they really don't care.
I get it its quite more premium than the new tiger 800 but... is it better enough to justify the 3k higher price tag?
Triumph is a replacement for the original Tracer 900,but thanks to the bike renters,the price has jumped £4GRAND...so 2 original Tracers for one Ducati?
That is the question. As to premium - flip a coin.

Does the new Multi V2 have corner lights?
The old V2 S had. Probably depends on whether the V2 has LED lights as standard.

Hard no. It’s needs 20 more hp.
Obese types commenting on power... shed your own weight.
Your videos are a source of......haha got ya. I'm just filthy flesh bag with a meat-based processor. I have basic desires such as Italian motorbikes that I can't afford.
You can afford them if you want to. Buy my money making book and you will be able to afford any bike!
Nice bike but it's still a Ducati.
Naah is it?
Just sold my 17 year old Monster S2r 800, loved it for 11 years, bought a new Triumph Trident 660, best bike in 50 years on the road.
and?
Does anyone aspire to own a motorcycle with a bird head?
Dialog and narration is very cringe. Almost no time spent comparing suspension, engine, ergos, strengths & weaknesses. All of the statements made in this video have been made 100 times already. Better title is “2 guys pretending to go on a motorcycle adventure with poor writing and a chase vehicle”.
It's pronounced DuCahti, not Jewcatti.
They managed to ruin Ducati's most beautiful motorcycle, it looks like a Suzuki!! The improvements are perfect, the new model, but what a BAD design!!! The new motorcycle looks like a LEGO, it lost all the harmony and beauty of the previous model. Put a picture side by side for you to see and then put the new model next to a Suzuki!! What they did to the V2S aesthetically is a joke!! Fire this guy!! Think of an angry guy who would trade the old V2S for the new model, that's me.
I TALIAN trash. No thanks. You can keep that overpriced scrap.
😂
Can’t afford one never ridden one?
Fyi- the Supersport doesn’t have the new engine next. But the Multi v2 is the Goldilocks Moto imho.
