Ducati already offers a 170hp Pikes Peak version of its Multistrada V4 range, but if that wasn't mad enough, take a look at this: Ducati's Multistrada V4 RS which is fitted with the same engine as the Streetfighter V4 and produces 180hp, or 192 if you fit the full race exhaust. That makes it the fastest motorbike in the world that has panniers.
And our shy and retiring road tester, Adam 'Chad' Child, accepted the invitation to ride it on track in Italy a few weeks ahead of its official world premiere.
Here's the full review:

Had my Streetfighter for 3 years now not a single issue apart from a set of tyres and excessive about of fuel used. Wish I could afford this beauty would make a nice replacement or addition 😍
There are adventure bikes and there are sport tourers. This is a sport tourer. Sport touring segment is where I am at this moment in my life. Used to enjoy mental day rides on superbikes and nakeds, but now I love some comforts and multi-day all day trips on paved roads. My favorite road bike is Gen 3 SuperDuke R, for me the definition of power on the street is how easily bike lifts the front without having to rev it like an F1 engine. This is where torque comes in. I owned and tracked Pani V4S for 3 years (mine had dry clutch also) , rode Pikes Peak V4 and V4S Street fighter for extended periods and SDR is so much better than any of these on the street mostly due to its torque and much lower rpm engine for me personally. It just can’t do touring in a good way. I can’t wait for the new 1390 GT. If your use is outright sport and for some reason you want this form factor I think it could be great, but if you are a true sport tourer I would not go for one. It looks awesome though.
Dear TheSuperpod. Honestly… you are right, a SDR engine is fantastic and the best for street riding. And the bike looks great. BUT, everything else around this engine is not really convincing. I owned a SDR for three years, rented a Super Adventure many times and I simply had too many breakdowns and other issues with these bikes. Finally the components, especially the suspension is not on the level of the Öhlins… So why not go for a RS 😜?
Ducati is way better than Ktm no comparison and I owned both
2:30 As a proud owner of a 22 Multi V4S THIS here is what I've dreamed of. 👏 Well done Ducati. I said Id like the Pani V4 w/ its valves and all in this frame. Give me the full freight. Im addicted to speed so i need this. Its still no Pani, but hot damn you stick two riders one on a stock pani and this and id argue, id probably spank the Pani on the streets, On the freeway he'd probably trounce me on the Vmax which was 160 on my Multi, i rode what I'm buying yesterday w/ 6 miles and didn't want to max it out prior to break in but id bet this thing can do 175 maybe 180 v max which still falls short of 200 on my Pani V4S. But your doing all this in comfort! 💥
As someone who has ridden pretty well every type of motorcycle over the last 20+ years - I view this as the ultimate machine.
holy moly, just YES _PLEASE
It sounds absolutely gorgeous with the full race system. Makes my V4s sound like rubbish
Looks great 👍 personally don’t like chains but would maybe put up with that cos it looks and goes so good
I had a MT10 before. It has 140Hp and most often, I ride it on Road mode taking away a good 10-15 HP from Sport Mode. Even that configuration, i barely could get to 6th gear for the road condition i drive. I could not imagine with this Ducati Multistrada RS Hp of 196. Maybe i will be stuck to 3rd or 4th gear the entire ride 😂😂😂
This sort of bike really provides the essence of motorcycling. I'd recommend every one who rides to own something like this that forces them to ride slower at some point. It really does remind you that whilst ultimate performance is fun, it absolutely isnt always necessary. And there's no shame in it, lets face it, we'd all have a bike for every occasion if we could and this would be a contender for one of many "slots".
Good on you Dan, hope you both carry on enjoying it.
I'm sure the media love this as a free playtime on an Italian race circuit but for everyday bikers it's an unaffordable irrelevance.
Just because you can’t afford/justify it, it doesn’t mean others can’t. Bitterness gets you nowhere.
@@Mockle07 making assumptions that I can't afford it?
@@blueyondermoto You literally referred to it as “unaffordable”! 😂
But just in case, I clearly said “afford/justify” in case I hurt your feelings.
Ultimately, Ducati will sell every one they build; just because you don’t like it, plenty of people will.
@@Mockle07 😂
@@blueyondermoto 🙄
Gorgeous bike, great review, but pound for pound, I still reckon my V2S is the better bike.
Ducati know how to build beautiful machines.
4:00 So that bets the question why did they not name this the Multistrada SP? Give it the winter test livery, then switch it up next year for a new livery. Not that I'm mad at RS and this livery which is hot.
I feel a test ride shoot out coming along soon. Maybe around Cadwelll Park. Get this and the Pikes Peak version along side the M 1000 XR THE only down side for me personally is that the BMW fell short as they ignored the hard panniers as an option defeats the object really it’s an easy fix next time they do the update
really love this colorway, but can’t justify to avail this beast of a machine since I do everyday commute. Maybe I’ll copy this variants color into versy650
Great video as always guys, however please slap the Gen z editor you're using that feels the need to blast that stupid music two times the volume of the host can you not just let us enjoy the motorcycle and the technical side that the host provides? You do not need to inject all that unnecessary music that's twice as loud Every time it comes on.
ducati always
How does it compare with the BMW s1000 XR
I’m curious is this bike bigger then the gs 1250 gsa?
Rather, Ducati looked over at BMW and the upcoming XR1000M and said "Oh shit!"--in Italian, of course. So the RS. But has anyone seen the secret Ducati-issued dyno power curves of these two motors to 10,000 RPMs laid over each other? The standard V4 motor out-powers the RS by LOTS (15-18 HP) all the way up till 10,000 rpms. No doubt IF you are running the RS to 13,5000 RPM--it will be thrilling. But with passenger, luggage, in 5th gear rolling out of town--will standard motor (with full Race exhaust and mapping) give the proper shove with superior torque. They will gear down the RS--but maybe too much/more frenetic and viberation? Area under the curve where you ride it matters a bit more on a tourer than Streetfighter.
Really love Ducati!
lets see... the BMW M1000XR is ready to come. And I think it will come at a lower price point.
This looks better though imo
Lower in evverything compared to, not just the price... The Multistrada V4 RS overwhelms the 1000 RX .
Love this, Adam, but I dont think Italians go for tea 😂
Need to see head to head with V4 Pikes Peak before considering an upgrade.
The bike is a work of art. Not enjoying the exhaust sound though. It sounds like a Dyson hand vacuum.
Is this really worth the hassle of dry clutch and desmo for 10hp gain? How much better is it going to be over a PP?
Had to keep up with the XR
and then the M 1000 XR comes..
It is going to be super interesting seeing them side by side.
Surely the H2sxse is the most powerful tourer with panniers?
Given the same bloke rode this as a "World exclusive" for Bikeworld, this isn't really an exclusive
You gonna knock the man for having the right contacts and creating content for multiple channels?
@@mrkang4080 that isn't what I said - read it again
Jesus Christ, who cares ffs?
Honestly, people will find any old shit to complain about 😂
In short: It's a fast bike.
I agree, it's probably great to ride, and looks brilliant, but bmw xr 1000 has been there already surely?.
Either the tester is tiny or that bike is huge?
No need for that kind of hp on a bike like this. The focus should be more on low down torque, as grunt is far more practical on a tour bike. But that wouldn't be as sexy would it and Ducati are always trying so, so hard to be sexy.
I'd rather tour on something like a bandit 1250 tbh.
Test riding an adventure bike on the track... YUP makes perfect sense
top speed with full akrapovic ??
170 mph
40K is a hell of a lot money even for this.
I thought these were adventure bikes not street bikes.
Touring in this bike just because it has panniers? The poor fuel consumption alone would put off many from the thought of bringing this bike for touring. Even the fitted tyres suck for light shower riding.
They should ask Brett Tacks to take it off road, utterly pointless, but nice looking.
And why don’t they put the tank off the Rally on this? Range will be pathetic.
Where's the top box? I don't like panniers.
Most powerful bike with panniers? The H2sx would like to have a chat with you...
Good shout 👍
Strongest with panniers is bmw M1000 XR, 200 hp ...
At one time bikes were reasonably priced, but who is going to buy one of these or their equivalents, and actually ride it.
Real bikers are being ignored in the relentless pursuit of horsepower which is irrelevant on the road
Its not the fastest bike with panniers the Kawasaki H2SX holds that record.
That was going to be my comment too… My H2SXSE would whip its butt especially now it’s been remapped🤪👍🏽
Honestly, I believe I would have so much more fun on the tracer or Mt 10. That is a bad boy though
MT-10 is the ultimate track bike, and I own a Multistrada.
Not sure that it is worth the $$$. The S1000XR is just as good on the street, where 99% of these bikes will be ridden, and costs less. Gets even more interesting with the upcoming M1000XR. You end up paying nearly 20% more for nearly identical street performance.....just for the Ducati name stickered on the side.
And BMW is probably more reliable too
for me bmw branding is worth more
Worth it to look that good😂
When you are touring you want to take in the scenery around you, why would you need sports bike power, for me that is just a very comfortable expensive sports bike, with a chain to maintain. So not for me, but as you say I'm sure their will be many takers, just not me. I will keep my 1250 GS ADV, long live the tractor...
Adventure bike? No, it's a lovechild from a supermoto and a superbike, and no doubt a hell of a bike. But an adventure bike it is not.
Beautiful......but not really an "adventure" bike
I agree, but let's be real... 95% of adventure bikes never see dirt.
Your adventure does not have to include heavy off-road. You can "adventure" from track to track with this beast
@@KNR6292Well in that context ANY bike is an adventure bike. Someone rode round the world on an R1, that doesn’t make the R1 an adventure bike’ 🤷🏼♂️
@@Mockle07 if you mean Teapotone then it was a GSX…. If you don’t mean him then I strongly recommend watching his videos of his trip
@@julianlewis4305 no, WAY before him, but yeah I know Teapot, he has mate some great videos 👍🏻
Nah, real Ducatis are L twins, lol.
Bmw m1000xr has 200hp
You dont really need this in your life too much power for touring and not enough talent for a sports bike its just nothing really waste of time Ducati and I love and collect Ducatis so im not an hater
Is it any good off road?
The new GS 1300 looks a better bike.
no offroading its got 17 inch wheels
Somebody is missing the point, it's not meant for off road. There is a Ralle version for that
Take off the massive bird beak and it might look alright.
Its the hideous front brake calipers! That's the problem
BMW M1000XR is more powerful I believe lighter and can have panniers, all this and much cheaper than the Ducati
For sure the 1000 RX is cheaper when you buy it, but goin' far the Multistrada turns in being more convenient for the service intervals ( first service at 30000 km under warranty).
Looks are personal obviously but I can’t stand the fake adventure looks of these SUVs of the bike world. Why have this over a SF SP2 with a proper desmo v4? a Multistrada should be about torque not pushing the power to the top of a much higher Rev range with the Desmo service schedule to boot…. It also needs the tank off the Rally for that amount of money for a semblance of range. A poseur special to be seen at the Ace Cafe next Spring, after multiple stops from Hackney filling it up….
H2
Bmw m1000xr 😂 , mic dropp
Terrible
I hate Ducati but that new bike looks Not bad!
