Everything Marty says about this bike is 100% accurate. He sold me RS #013 that I picked up on Valentines day. He was in the process of his "600" mile break-in ride at that time so we discussed many of these topics. This is far and away the finest high speed "Touring" motorcycle I've ever owned in over 60 plus years of riding!!!! Emphasis on the "HIGH SPEED". I've owned several MTS bikes but this is now my Go To /Favorite (replaced my S1000XR with it) even though I still have my 1260. There are several folks working on "additional" storage options and that "issue" will be resolved eventually. EvoTech has a Tidy Tail for it and DucaBike have many accessories (farkles) available. Marty is "The Man" and I drove from Houston to Dallas just to deal with him and AMS (Jeff et al). Can't give them too many accolades!!!!!!!!! Great people!
Thanks for the review, that’s what I was looking for. I’m getting older now, still do a few track days, and some sport touring, so I traded my Multistrada V4S and Panigale V4S in on the RS, as I wanted the best of both bikes. I pick it up this week, so I can’t wait to try it out. Cheers from Australia.
Absolutely gorgeous bike! I do have to say that no top case ability on a touring bike would be a non-starter for me. Excellent review of the bike; very informative and Marty is a natural on camera. Keep the videos coming! Look forward to my next visit to your shop. Cheers, Bruce
I have ridden a 12 year old Kawasaki ZZR1400 (US model ZX-14) at 186 MPH (300 km/h). The Kwak Ninja H2 SX SE will give the same, 0>100km/hr acceleration is certainly faster. And I also have a 2023 MTS V4 PikesPeak, and it's not much slower than the RS version.
Applaud! He must laughing his face off as he politely agreed to do it. He’s got to run in one of the finest bikes available as a ‘favour’. I’ll do the run in next they need it doing! I wont even need the applause. That’s the best offer I can make 👏😉
For the time being-I’ll keep my PP and “de-restrict” the ECU to not hold back mid-range power-especially first three gears. I can really feel it being held back. Basically trying go rationalize NOT leaping to this as a wife-on-board sport tourer. Plus-we need tail luggage for a couple of our longer overnight trips. I think the BMW M1000XR won’t be as much competition as the lofty power figure would make it out to be. That’s a 14,500 rpm motor in a tourer. Low torque.
me too i prefer my pp 22 more power than ill ever need , top case, no worries about valves for 60k km and for me is way more sexy the grapichs and color squeme 🤘
The owners manual clearly states a “break in” protocol with every ducati. We may break these rules occasionally to get a full assessment of the motorbike with the owners permission.
Hi Marty; after this travel experience with the new RS I ask you for a couple of pieces of information: 1) the cylinders are between the legs like on the V4S.....does it still heat up a lot or does the carbon fiber bulkhead they implemented solve the "heat" problem quite well? 2) are the vibrations transmitted from the handlebars to the arms felt a lot compared to the V4S?? I know they removed the rubber to have more feeling between the wheel and steering. THANK YOU SO MUCH AS ALWAYS for your precious advice.
Great... Great review! 1st time watching your videos and I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ them! Would love to ride with you one day 🦾.... 168mph....You're my kind of riding companion 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Marty, you mentioned the handlebars mounting point on the triple clamp is different compared to the other MultiStrada versions. I've tried to find a difference and I couldn't. Can you please explain more in detail what the difference is?
I don’t think worths the money better to buy a Pikes Peak edition than that and especially in Europe is way more expensive than USA,in any way your videos are analytical and I like them keep up ✊✊✊
It is $38k it better be perfect for you lol.. Has anyone come in to your dealer with the regular V4 for their 37k mile service? I've been curious to see what the average price is for veterans that take their multi that far!
i have a mts1260 PP and i am considering the mts v4 rs for track duties due to my lack of enthusiasm hunching over a v4r after my back injuries. i can’t seem to find any race fairings or aftermarket foot rests for multistrada though.
Is this still a problem? I have a 2016 Multi and have replaced it. Still have issues with it. I can’t believe Ducati is still having issues with fuel sensors!
Hi Marty, I live in Italy near Milan and I have owned a Multi V4S Full for about a year and I am really satisfied. However, I would like to switch to a more "sporty" Multistrada because I don't do much road but I like a more agile bike and on both fast and narrow mixed routes. Which do you recommend? Pikes Peak or RS? Thanks so much for the advice.
Find someone who owns one and ask the question. I am obviously biased. To me, it is worth the extra cash for the rawness and occasion it brings each time I ride it.
Right now it’s my dream bike ❤

Thank you! Glad to hear you are loving that mean machine. Appreciate a real owners review confirming what I felt in 680 miles.
I really liked your calm, knowledgeable style - not like the usual shouty reviews. Thanks again.
I appreciate that!

Mr Marty We missed you! Thank you for uploading, we appreciate it! 🙏🏻
My pleasure!

Thanks Bruce! It certainly is a bike for a select group of buyers. Those who are willing to sacrifice some storage options for the raw power.
I still like my XDiavel's lower center of gravity! Thanks, Marty!
"I won't say I, but I was at 168 miles an hour.... no problem" HAHA I love it. Beautiful bike!

what a bike i own the 2017 dvt model and i dream of this one , thanks for the video , cheers from Greece.
I feel like I was in the showroom with you. This was a great review
Thank you for making the video. I I applaud you for taking care of your customer like that. Email sent.

Thanks for the Sound Check.
Any time!
Nice overview! One question - based on the riding you described, I guess there's no break in needed on this motor?
The owners manual clearly states a “break in” protocol with every ducati. We may break these rules occasionally to get a full assessment of the motorbike with the owners permission.
168 mph= broken in
What are notable (if there are any) between me selecting the RS vs the Pikes Peak?
Hi Marty; after this travel experience with the new RS I ask you for a couple of pieces of information:
1) the cylinders are between the legs like on the V4S.....does it still heat up a lot or does the carbon fiber bulkhead they implemented solve the "heat" problem quite well?
2) are the vibrations transmitted from the handlebars to the arms felt a lot compared to the V4S?? I know they removed the rubber to have more feeling between the wheel and steering.

this is the kind of bike which is perfect for anyone, not only for you.

Welcome aboard!
Great video - thank you!
Glad you liked it!
I’m curious is this bike bigger then the gs 1250 gsa?
Marty, you mentioned the handlebars mounting point on the triple clamp is different compared to the other MultiStrada versions. I've tried to find a difference and I couldn't. Can you please explain more in detail what the difference is?
The silent block has been removed on the RS so the handlebar is rigidly attached to the steering head for a more direct riding feeling.
@@AMSDucatiDallasOk, got it. Thanks!
I want that engine gaurd setup. Who makes it? I have an RS....

So how high in rpms should you go during breakin in... ive 100 miles and not gone above 8k....
i have a mts1260 PP and i am considering the mts v4 rs for track duties due to my lack of enthusiasm hunching over a v4r after my back injuries.
i can’t seem to find any race fairings or aftermarket foot rests for multistrada though.
Did they upgrade the fuel sensor or is it going to crap out with in 2 years
Is this still a problem? I have a 2016 Multi and have replaced it. Still have issues with it. I can’t believe Ducati is still having issues with fuel sensors!
the crash bars are absolutely a nogo !!!
Why, if you don't mind me asking?
Does the RS is more rough lets say i hit apot hole than V4s or PP ?
LOL.... "Yeah mate I will break in your bike for you fella" ....168mph !
Looks like Marty had some pretty good road rash scaring on his right lower arm🤫
Hi what brand are the front brake air intakes tia
Ducati Performance
What carbon air ducts are on the breaks and do you sell them?
Any idea how long the V4R will even be available?

RS. It changes you for the better 😈
Im thinking of selling my bmw gsa 1250 and getting one of these. What do u guys think?
Spoke to a chap who had one , he said it did have a poor fuel range
Thanks appreciate that!
Es un espectáculo de moto, lastima que su precio este a la altura de su calidad
Very beautiful bike...and put that stupid crash bars...
Hey is 999 Fila and Xerox in the show room for sale?
they will be very shortly 🤌
@@AMSDucatiDallas who do I need to contact?
@@kennedyracing7527 call and ask for Jeff👍
Is there a tail-tidy available yet..? That’s about the only other option I would have added. Great bike..👌👌
Nice, but I'd much rather have the M S1000XR.
But really how much "better" than a PP? For a fast guy with bad shoulders lol, tell me why the extra 7k.
