top comment of the year
hey steve, epic review and fun ride + review. you're one of my favorite ADV reviewers and love your mix of personal commentary and review of bikes, plus some humor along the way. thanks for posting and reviewing. this thing sounds like a great machine.
Thanks for the content and for watching. Really appreciate it
Watched like 50 times and still watching it. Thank you for this great video. Sorry that you fall but you are a wonderful rider anyways Steve! Never give up! Best regards.
Oh dude thanks! See you out there some time
Finally a real review! I have to say that you guys are the best!
Guys? Just me. Produce, shoot, edit, release. But thank you so much. From- the guy
Thanks for the video. That's exactly what ADV riders want to see. I know parts are gonna fall off...just which ones so I can take them off ahead of time!
Exactly. Cheers bud
I think that part is for cooling you down
Best multistrada review I’ve watched, soil sampling ability noted 😂
If that’s a quick first ride review... I’m dying for the full one!!! Thanks for taking us along.
Soon!
so productive lately, RAD review as always!!!
Yeah when the OEM's help a bit it is really helpful for productivity
Nice riding at the limit of what the bike looks comfortable with. Entertaining
Thank you!
Thank you for the great review. I love seeing bikes or cars like this getting used hard instead of putting around. Great job throttling it. Now, to save up some money.
Take the loan. Get the bike
My new favourite ADV reviewer. I’ll watch that again and again so I can grow some the next time I’m in loose stuff with a 500lb+ beastie that wants to get the better of me (inner monologue: don’t chop the throttle when you pucker.... stay loose and let her dance...relax those hands damn it....). Love the tips on rear preload adjustment to dial in the front. This is the kind of review many of us want to see, so many are road-biased. Cheers and keep it coming ! KTM should be lining them up for you ....
Thank you so much! Yeah hold on loose baby but don't let go. KTM won't call me for reviews so I guess I can't do em
Whoa Best Multi V4s ever. Street and off road. Fully demonstrates the functionality of the bike. Got me questioning my 2017 Multi. Subscribed and holding on. Woo 🏍
Don't ride a v4 unless you want to buy one
@@steve_kamrad5216 I really want to ignore that advice. but I should also really listen to you on this ;)
I love this guy's videos! 👍🙏
Thanks dude!
Sick broski
the reason why ur my favorite youtuber is not just ur skills but mostly the way how you torture the bike for us.
The.only way to test em
Damn bro!! Living the dream!!
Thanks dude I just make it look good
Stylish Vlogs, keep it coming.
Will do
Does the engine have traction from low revs from a standstill? I saw you stalled on the rise
5:43, (laughing) "hahahaha! OK... OK...Thats what kind of bike this is gonna be!"
This bike is a freaking MONSTER!
Ohhhh, you mentioned Desert Sled... I've lusted after those since they were introduced.
Yeeeyeee
Loved every bit of it Steve! I have a request. If possible, could you please do a complete off road comparison between the 2021 iterations of 390 adventure and RE Himalayan? I didn’t find anything concrete enough to set my mind upon yet. Thanks 🙏🏻
Thank you and I don't think I could pull off both of those loaner bikes at the same time but get a KTM
Got to try one of these last year. Great street bike, but the engine characteristics are way wrong for the type of off roading I do. I was happy to get back on my 1090R.
OMG!!!! Excelent vídeo...!!!!😍🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Yeah, now that's the stuff right there.
Looks like a good good time 🤘💪
I wonder...is this Gonzo journalism?
Might be the last of it, or the new version
Sometimes I ask myself. Why waste time watching others? Absolutely brilliant review of multi v4 s. I'm not buying a bike you haven't endorsed. 👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks man. I just try to point people in the right direction
Hopefully you can get your hands on the new Harley Pan-America. You're one of the few that seems to really push a bike, so that'll be an interesting video to watch and a real test of the new Harley experiement.
now this is what i have been looking for. no pussyfooting around on the bikes and riding them like they were meant to be ridden. Thank you. I just got a Enduro Pro 1200 2018, so no quick shift but i got it for a steal. Zero miles. So far I am in love with this thing. Looking forward to finding a place where i can rip it like yall did.
Borrego springs Ca! Go tear it up
@@steve_kamrad5216 Thanks bud it will definitely be on my list. Long way from Houston Tx but sure does look like it would be worth it. Always wanted to go to CA. Only been to Ft Erwin. lol.
Great vid. Looking forward to the full review. Those mirrors are probably really inexpensive to replace after a drop.
Lol.
I love it! this is the first video where I see what I want to see, the Multistrada doing some nice offroading! I have a 950s myself and that is what I want to see the most!, and question how does this compares to the current king 1250gs, or has this one dethrone it.
Oh of it was my money. V4s all day! Also thank you for dropping a rad comment
Is that Chad, Livin The Van Life at 19:47? I know he is a wicked good photographer, that's awesome! I just love how Ducati is letting these bikes be run like this, I have a 2019 Multistrada 950, and I just adore the bike, I'd never get rid of it, but I could see getting one of these though, seems to have really good clearance now.
Nah thats the support van
*turns up preload*
Me yelling at my TV: “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING! No!”
Noiiicce.....!!
Hi Steve, I'm trading in my V4 Speciale due to lower back issues and age. I'm trying to decide which colour to get. I think I'm leaning to gray with spoked wheels and off road tires. I think it makes it look more off-roadish and badass. Have you noticed a change in road performance with those two changes? When you guys adjusted the "off road" settings did the computer hold those settings or did it reset to factory? Great video. No one else has shown the off-road capabilities of the bike.
Settings were staying where we left them. The spokes are heavier but I wasn't able to notice
awesome. thanks
Thank you, great review, what was damaged in the fall, is the plastic intact?
Yeah it was all good. Not even scratched
Do you guys have to pay for damages?
Can you comment on the position of the handlebar when riding off pavement? In short, were the bars in Road or Off Road position?
Neutral. I would definitely roll them up a bit but at least at the factory position they were pretty high and the mirrors were out of the way. Also the foot controls have enough adjustment to be in the right spot for standing but not from the factory
Always turn abs off in offroad . Great video guys
-Ηell of a street bike huh?
-Holy shit
-Oh dude, it's just the best
-It rips
All these years of engineering and motorcycle development summarized in a short dialog..
Truly
How do you wheelie that bike? Just by open the throtle quickly or by slipping the clutch lever or both?
Both but 3rd gear power wheelies if slid back in the seat a bit
waooo!!! that was cool!!! hey the pieces of winds that felt off the bike did they brake or they just snap back on?? and where was that nice ride??
They broke. Out in borego springs
Bravo! Finalmente un test serio 👍🏻
Would you do the sand blast rally on this? 😱🤣
Tachometers during demonstration are set in miles per hour or km per hour ?
Mph.
Some will say that more off road miles were logged in that launch event then will ever be logged on any V4 multistrada in the lineups entire life. 😜
Lmfao. Possibly most sand and mud testing ever as well.
some of us do actually ride these bikes properly off-road;)
@@arubuto i know you do Fabian
Let’s be real, apart from a factory demo., what % of riders feel they have the money to put that kind of stress on a 25-26k machine? One must have more YOLO in them to do so than most!
@@forestmotoadventures a kitted out bmw 1250 with bags is the similar in price and this is a halo bike. Not for everyone
great review on its capabilities thanks, could see you coming short from the beginning that right wrist of yours seems to be on or off lol
It's telepathic at breaking the rear end lose
thankS
Someone pls tell me whether a multi v4 has spoke wheel or not???? 😪😪😪
Option. You can get either
If you enjoy off-road with big adventure bike more power to ya
I do!
That was a blast. If ya don’t go down once, ya ain’t riding hard enough. 👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎
How you gonna test without crashing
If you drop one of these trinkets you are going to go broke with cost of repairing all the broken parts.
@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp dropped it 3 times. 1 small winglet down. I'd say it faired better than my ktm 250 did
@@steve_kamrad5216Renting out these Multistrada's to our customers in Italy we have had way too many sad stories of the bikes being dropped and the customer being shocked with the Euro 2,000 bill to repair the damage. Because of this we are going to drop these bikes from our rental fleet.
@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp yeah rentals. Nah. Give em a klr
I like to see full review with passive and active protection.
Kinda hard to demonstrate without a voice over also kinda boring but will make it into the full review but just imagine how it would work and that's basically it. Flawless
This is with full exhaust or stock?
Akro slip on
How many time did you guys fall? Any damage to the bikes?
4 or 5. None damage but the clutch side winglet
@@steve_kamrad5216 is that an easy cheap replacement ? Seem like that breaks easily.
@@jesseonamotorcycle yeah. And take it off and never put it on
I guess can't beat the Tiger on trail, but you can scoop some samples.
For sure
Those rocks on the trail edge would scare the shit out of me..
Awesome bike though, Ducati have a huge winner here.
I hope so. People need to buy it
Looks like a fun sport tourer with a little off road cred. But considering I could get 2 Tenere 700s for the price of one of those I'm certainly not going to be knocking down the door of the closest Ducati dealership.
You can only ride one of those T7s at a time. I'd rather ride the bike that puts a smile on my face every time.
Ducati v4s is best v ktm 1290 ? Which best ? ??
For normal use and bdr rides. 100% better
Just waiting for some dentists and lawyers to start selling these after the new pan America comes out! It was common practice for the groundskeeper to break in the master’s new jacket.
Great analogy
@@steve_kamrad5216 I resemble that remark. Dying to get your personal opinion on this.
@@dimitrykaplun5619 in addition to having the engine properly worn in and serviced I got my old gs with a can, some touratech farkles and a handmade premium pannier system with a mileage of merely 12000km 🤷♂️
@@khakimzhanmiras Not bad. Luckily for you I ride my toys into the ground before I trade them in for something shinier.
So 1250 GSA or V4S for adrenaline?
V4s hands down
So I should’ve ask this question with the 1st question. Which bike feels more balanced 1250 gsa or V4S? By the way great review.
@@chriscatron2978 I say the BMW in sand and mud but not worth the difference
Let me tell ya, no one friggin compares to Steve Kamrad, absolutely no one
Lol. Forgetaboutit
Sounds nice?? Sounds like a Singer! Maybe it’s the GoPro audio.
It's a v4 not a v twin. Up high sounds like a chainsaw
I think Duc have a winner here for touring and the light bit of Off Rd gravel but not sure that I would want to ride the hell out of such an expensive machine in the tough stuff.Rather go get yourself a 701 or 690 or similar.Cheers.
350 ktm for the shit.
I'm sure that close to 98% of these bikes won't see anything but pavement. The other 2% are going to be constant dealer queens. Maybe I get one of these on the preowned market from a lawyer who turned it on and drove it around his back yard every weekend. Thanks for the offroad footage while I sit in snowy NJ and reminisce.
I'm not a fan of the push button start, but this Ducati turn is next best thing, seeing that a lot of BMW owners have issues with it from sun "toasting" the plastic.
Is that Dusty at 12:03?
Yeah he was there!
11:47 Ive never ridden on the dirt. I just bought this bike two weeks ago and this past weekend took it on a long road trip 388 miles and did my first dirt what ever youd call it. I put it in Enduro and it was set by factory to DTC 2. It was cutting all my momentum. I put it to 1 and a friend riding w/ me said dont turn it off. So i didnt. And suffered w/ that thing cutting power pissing me off. I wondered if i should. Then i watched you. You started out great in DTC OFF then put it to 1 and started to suffer my pain. LOL Note to self. TURN OFF DTC for Enduro mode.
100 percent
😁
15:21 is funny thinking about that's what wrong running high speed in track 🤣🤣😂😂, so you alone alon .
It's always good when the 23k bike your trashing isn't yours 😂
I have 45k in bikes I do own and thrash but yeah I hear ya
Gone that right!
This new version of the Multi reminds me of my ktm 1190eds. (In terms of specs and capability not looks)
Yeah but it needs 2 more cylinders to even close to the character of this boke
Definitely buy the “nothing better” comment for twisters. Off road? I’ll still take a 790/890R.
Yup
Oh my gosh I hate electronics...now where's the order button...here's my kidney.
These electronics are the best I've ever used except ktm rally traction control
Off the hook n9ce🚀🔥what's the weight
472 dry. Doesn't fell far off a tiger 900 actually
Nice
@@steve_kamrad5216 hm, that's actually less than I though
Wish KTM still made the 950SE.
I mean, sure if you like veins, carbs, no abs, no gps, no traction control, no heated grips or seats, no luggage, a host of electrical problems, no warranty, and a 36 inch seat height then yeah this comment makes sense.
were you tired?
Not yet but yes
I love how you tear these press bikes up. Get to see the stuff that breaks before we buy 😂 it's your fault I'm on a 900 RP now.
You said the ducati is 2nd to no one what about the ktm 1290r
The 1290r has nothing on this bike on the street and the 1290 is flat out just too big, too tall, too much to handle. And that vtwin is gross and rumbly compared to this bike. In sand, or mud or rocks sure the 1290 might be a better choice but it won't make up for a lower weight and seat height for regular riders and on the street it isn't even close
Gross and rumbly...lol.... Why haven't you ever done a review on ktm1290r would love to see it ....love all your videos. Respect your opinion
@@sbutcher222 I had one for a while on loan and I've rode over 2k miles on the 1090 but nothing official from KTM. If they don't help me I can't help them
@@steve_kamrad5216 So your saying you would rather the v4 multi in the dirt over a 1090r?
@@Whos-That-Guy no but overall bike
ok
Sick BeardKam footage...
Wow! That thing has to be put in a cage at night...what a beast....
Seriously yes
Dreamy unobtainium..... the best is always out of reach financially for us avg Joe’s. It will be cool to see a head to head with the 1260 enduro pro. The 1260’s are just now starting to be in a price range that is feasible. I’m so tired
Man there is literally no comparison. The 1260 and this. Just 2 different.
Ok.ok. Different better? Or just different
@@bonesworld7178 different wayyyyyy better!
@@steve_kamrad5216 sweet now all I need is 25k 🤣
@@bonesworld7178 take a loan, get a bike.
italians are crazy indeed!they can design the most beautiful bike but they insist not to install a fuel cutting system when the bike is dropped until nowdays!!!these seconds the engine running on the ground can cause damage to crankshaft bearings that was the main reason of failure in 848,1098 bikes
Scavenger pumps and fully synthetic oil are more than up to the task for keeping a bike together. I heard that Henry Crew round the world kid ran a desert sled on its side wide open for 8 minutes to get a new motor under warranty because he was having issues. I think some run time on the side at idle is not an issue especially because of the volume of oil and oil in the system but yeah I didn't have a bike shut off 2 or 3 times on its side during this launch.
6:43 & 9:23 same footage
I won't check but I believe you
@@steve_kamrad5216 pay attention kamrad ;-)
The difference between bloggers and people who actually ride
Everyone wants to blog, no one wants to ride.
Something was missing from this video.
No. The full review will have it all
The title should be "how to destroy a new motorcycle"
Minor scratches. Still good
It is second only to the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nah. 2 different bikes. Things really gnarly
@@steve_kamrad5216 🤣🤣🤣 I was just joking. I am still Jonesing for the Scrambler. But I can't get it until we move to Australia, as I can only import two bikes 😑 and I am taking my Honda Valkyrie and Triumph Rocket III. Once in Australia, I hope to get the Scrambler and a Speed Twin. 🤪
@@ClintsCrypt go scrambler xe
@@steve_kamrad5216 It looks like the Ducati is a blast!!!
Just misuse 😬
Not at all. Intended use 100%
Great bike, the best of the maxi adv, but you clearly don't know how to ride it 😉
Yeai guess so
@@steve_kamrad5216 😂👍
I'm just glad it's not desmo
36k miles valve intervals. Industry leading
idioti!
What's your address bro.
These bikes are not off road motorcycles.
Mmm yes they are. Just not dirt bikes and dirt bikes are not 3rd gear power wheel, 140mph machines either. So
@@steve_kamrad5216They are just too tall and heavy to be rideable off-road. Same with the BMW R1250GS. Absolute pigs off road.
@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp i disagree plus when's the last time you rode a dirt bike on a bdr route for 10 days? These bikes do that. Wouldn't want to do adventure riding on any single cylinder bike on the market
@@steve_kamrad5216 My wife and I rode a BMW1150GS from Pretoria South Africa to Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania. Two up. 2,200miles over 13-days,
It was fine on most of the poor African roads. A nightmare when the roads turned to rutted dirt roads. An understeering pig.
@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp yeah two up it must have been hard but would you have preferred to do all that travel on a ktm 690 two up?
