Nice video. I remember watching a comparison video from the same guys showing the triumph speedmaster and the triumph Thunderbird after it was newly launched. I've searched everywhere and I can't find it! It was a great video.
It's all the bike you'll need and far better than the Yamaha tracer 900 even the improved gt version . Servicing is very reasonable cost as it has larger gap between services .
Anyone else annoyed with the seats on many of these new machines forcing you to sit in one spot? I'm from the '70s world when the dual seats allowed one to stretch some and to comfortably haul a passenger once in a while, in comfort. Otherwise, interesting but I know from experience that 60+ horsepower is enough for any practical situation - also think fuel efficiency is a worthy thing to have.
I was all excited about the Africa Twin in India, and for my offroad driving style I needed tubeless tyres, and to my surprise I learned that the Africa Twin came with Tubed tyres. I ended up getting a Multistrada 950 with the spoked wheels.
In a bike test should be also considered, what cost the service and how often the bike have to be in a service. If you look on that, than is this Ducati never so interesting. Maintaining costs are for example on a Honda Africa Twin, less than half. It saves you tousands if you drive a lot.
Not the best Ducati in the world, At 75mph it was vibrating so much the mirrors were useless couldn't see a thing. No LED lights, changing rider mods was a pain
do not buy it from misaligned panels, rust in the exhaust, vibrations at all rotations, very noisy engine, stupidly expensive maintenance and poor customer service, I'm seriously sorry I bought this bike,
Another top notch video from you guys! Always a pleasure to watch.

Love South African reviews. Big up from India. And excuse me if its not SA.
Vykier it is South Africa yes.

You guys mentioned the Versys 1000, but attached the pic of the Versys 650. Just saying.
Apart from which bloody good review as always. Cheers.
Just threw that in to see if you were concentrating!
Lovely bike
HELL YEAH ALL YOUR VIDEO"S!!!!!!!
You've shown a picture of the Versys 650. Not the 1000.
Great review, great bike but parts/servicing prices would steer me away.

Thks Guys.
Failed to mention the V-Strom 1000 in that mix.
Is there anywhere we can watch the whole show for those of us in North America?
1st September here in india
Mv Agusta Veloce Lusso or Ducati Multistrada 950?!?

Why precisely better than the gt? Thnx
New bikes are pretty $$$ so I went used. 😎🏍 how do you think I did? th-cam.com/video/r2p9mr19-QQ/w-d-xo.html

Don't like its appearance. Much rather have the V-Strom 1000.
Decent review.
Another publication measured the DL1000 against the Multi 950 th-cam.com/video/3YF-AY2nhg0/w-d-xo.html
Honda CBR500R vs Honda Rebel 500 Road Test
You chaps aren't really fond of the Africa Twin, are you?!! Not even a mention of the AT in that long list of competitors!
The Africa Twin is a proper adventure bike; not a road bike with adventure styling. Hence we left it out of competitors for the 950 Multi.

At 75 MPH you should be watching AHEAD !!!! big fuckin deal that the mirrors blur !! 😎🏍🍺🍺🍺
If you can't change rider mods on the 950 you just shouldnt be allowed to drive at all. Easy as hell.
Cramped riding position really
