- A first ride and review of the Ducati Multistrada V2S. Is the less powerful 950cc V2S better than the top of the range Multistrada V4S?
Ducati updated the Multistrada 950s for 2022 and now call it the V2S. A middle weight adventure bike, competing with the Triumph Tiger 900 and Honda Africa Twin and The Yamaha Tracer 9GT. Is the V2S the sweet spot in the range, with real world usable power and all of the technology that you need on an adventure motorcycle. Also a fair bit cheaper than the Multistrada V4S.

Test rode the V4S but ordered the V2S after three GSs, lighter, lower, great handling and plenty of performance for the road. There’s quite a long waiting list but can’t wait, I bought the Travel pack version in red of course😀
Hi Ian, that is very interesting to hear 👍 I thought that might be the case for this bike, it is such a good package for the road. Plenty of power and as you say lighter than the larger V4S and GS. Definitely need it in red 👌 Lovely looking bike. I hope you get it delivered asap. Cheers and enjoy
Excellent choice 👌
Traded in my 1250 GS which I absolutely loved but was a handful getting out of the garage and carparks. I think the V2S is about 20k lighter so at age 71 I'm hoping this will keep me riding for another few years.
👍 I hope it does help you to continue riding. I agree it is a great adventure bike and not too heavy or big. Still plenty of power etc... Hope you enjoy it
Well I was going to buy the KTM 1290S as I’ve had the 950 Multi before. But after watching this it will be back to Ducati, this time the V2S.
Thanks for a good honest review.
👍 Thanks glad you liked the review. The V2S is great, very similar to the 950 but with all the added technology. Think they look fantastic as well 👍
Well I test rode a 2022 V2S today, and disappointed. Felt very agricultural, so I’ll give the V4S a shot, otherwise I’ll keep my ‘21 R1250RS.
@@petermcgarva7207 It is basically exactly the same as the 950 Multi, just better tech!!
The V4S is the one I would have. Lot of money though
@@redangrevival we have some good pricing on them here in Sydney at the moment , and I’ve got a dealer looking what there stock is like with bikes not too spec’d up. I don’t want radar cruise or Akra.
Thanks again, your review got me motivated to go test ride some bikes. I’ll blame you 😂 if I end up spending too much money though
Just bought one, traded in a gs1250, much better in slow traffic and still punchy, no regrets.
👍 Great to hear that you are pleased with it. It does have such a great amount of useable power for the road. Love the looks as well!!
Hi! I also sold my GS, 2 years ago and I'm thinking of a new bike. How would you compare V2S and GS in comfort and overall touring experience?
Hi, nice review of the V2s. I’ve just bought one after trading in a Suzuki 1050xt. The 1050 is a great bike, does everything well, and good value for your money, but the Ducati V2 just turns everything up to 11. I test rode the V4, great bike with monster engine, but for me the V2 is just perfect. Thanks for the review 👍
Hi, thanks really glad you liked the review 👍 Yup a great bike the V2, I think you have made a good upgrade there! As you say the V4 is a brilliant bike, but is it really that necessary for the road! The V2 is a very well balanced for the road 👍 I hope you enjoy it. Thanks and all the best
Just how I felt about the V2, had three GSs but the V4 overkill, just loved the V2 engine and a far better gearbox than the GS.
Another great review. One of my co-workers has been trying to lock one of these out now for a few months here in Texas. He finally found one "on order" 4 hours away. This will be his 1st bike and he totally ignored my advise to start out with something smaller for a 1st bike. 😁
Thanks Keith, glad you liked it 👍 It is a brilliant bike, such a good package for the road. But for a first bike? I hope he takes it carefully, its not slow and not small either. Cheers
@@redangrevival that's what I told him. Said he'd be better off with the BMW310 or the new Scram.
@@keithstewart1979 yes, or perhaps the Yamaha Tracer 700 might be a good compromise for him!
Haha fair enough, he must have his heart set on it. Good luck and ride safe!
@@redangrevival He does, this guy has a top spec C7 Corvette so he wants top shelf.
Ah! Haha fair enough, I understand! It is definitely a premium bike and would go with the Corvette well. Just hope he takes it easy to start off with. A lot more potential dangers than driving a Corvette!
Thanks for this review. You do a good job.
Hi, thanks so much I appreciate that 👍 Really glad you like the reviews. They are a pleasure to make.
This is the Goldilocks Multi in my opinion. That engine is so so proven!
It is a bit of a sweet spot 👌
I like it.The beak isn’t as hideous as it is on the GS.I could learn to live with it.👍🏻
Agreed, I think the bike looks great, especially in red! 👍
As a traditionalist , I can't really comment on the bike but I always enjoy your reviews and enthusiasm. Oh and make mine a double scoop with a waffle cone, no flake 😆🍦
😂 haha coming right up!! God I love ice cream!!
Yup I have been reviewing some pretty modern bikes recently. Not to worry I have some great more traditional videos on the way 👍 Thanks Lily, so glad you still enjoy the reviews. All the best and enjoy the good weather and ice cream 😉
Thanks you too. Loads of people like sports/adventure bikes so it's fair enough.
Another TH-camr would like me to get a Honda Monkey as a learner bike. Would you have a go on one of them?
Nice review! Just found your channel.
👍 thanks so much, really glad you liked the review. Welcome to the channel!
I like this on looks like an angry bird from the front and looks real comfortable not sure if you mentioned the seat height Angus but the price is to top heavy for me but given time I would go for one used . 😊good one
👍 haha angry bird from the front!! A great comparison. It really does!! Seat height is 830mm to 850mm, a nice range of adjustability. Very comfortable and not too wide as it is a V Twin. I love the look of these.
Yup very much at the pricey end, as you say, give it some time and you could get some great second hand deals on one. A quality motorcycle. Cheers
GREAT Job i might check that bike out myself many thanks from Port St
Lucie Fl. U.S.A.
Thanks Mauro I appreciate it 👍 Glad you liked the video. It's a great bike, looks brilliant in red I personally think and has bags of character. A quality package. Cheers
See im looking to buy my first tourer/adventure bike.
Narrowed it down to
2018-2020 Yamaha Tracer 900 GT
Ducati multidtrada 950S
Triumph Tiger 900 GT PRO.
At 27, ive set myself a nudget off 11k.
Woukd be nice to hear sone experienced riders opinions.
I have 2 of them booked for next for a test ride.
It really depends on what you personally like, they are all great bikes. The Tracer is a fantastic bargain 👍
Great review! I would love to hear your thoughts on how a cheap bike such as the Benelli TRK 502 compares to the others you reviewed so far, if you could get your hands on one.
Thanks so much, really glad you liked the review 👍 That would be very interesting to compare, great idea. I will look into that. As you say may be tricky to get a ride on one! Cheers
My favourite motorbike currently... should have the Tracer 9 engine! :P
A great bike, have always really liked the looks of the 950 as well. Yes a different flavour to the Tracer 9 engine. Not too sure which I prefer!
@@redangrevival I only tried the Tracer 900 (very nice smooth engine) and MTS 1260 (awesome but gets very hot) but I know the maintenance costs I would choose...
In reality when you talk to dealers , this Ducati is very close in price to the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S. I think I prefer the KTM. What do you think given the price is similar and you’ve ridden both?
Yes brand new the Ducati is pricey!! I would wait to get second hand in 6 months time.
Given similar prices, I would definitely have the KTM 👌
Which one would u take for longer highway touring v2s or the new tracer 9gt? Which one is more comfortable but still have torque? . Im looking to trade my gen 1 s1000xr
I would probably take the Ducati for longer rides. Just feels a bit more comfortable and better quality 👍
Hi Angus,I enjoy your videos. What do you think, Honda Africa Twin,or Ducati Multistrada V2S?
Hi many thanks, really pleased you are enjoying the vids 👍 Good question! They are very different really. The AT is more comfortable and much smoother ride, better for longer distances and off road riding. The V2S is more of a sporty ride, and better handling on the road. I personally find the Ducati engine a bit viby! Just personal opinion though.
Both are equally good build quality. I would have the AT! Hope that helps.
What about the seating position, does the shape of the seat push you forward?
I didn’t find it did no! But it’s very different for each individual
Rename this the Ducati V4 S review!!
Great review, how does this compare to the tracer 9
👍Thanks really glad you liked the review. Interesting one!! The Ducati is the more premium package. I would say the Tracer is quicker to turn in and a sportier ride.
Ducati better for longer tours and build quality.
Have you ever tested the new Monster?
Unfortunately not yet no!
The v2 gets btr gas mileage
👍 Absolutely it does! The V4 is terrible for mpg!!
A little too gushy for me. It feels as if you are too indebted to Ducati.
Fair enough. I can confirm I am not indebted to Ducati at all, just a good road bike 👍
@@redangrevival I know you. You are a very honest man..
Dream bike
It a beauty 👍
