Happy new year y’all! Forgot to mention the ‘22 Super Duke GT at the end but haven’t ridden it yet, so can’t compare...
The new GT supposedly is not that different from the older ones.
I rode the V4S and that thing is rapid, this would be even more so but the price.
Damn, even 2nd hand ones will be bloody expensive but once you put some miles on they will be worth jack (a least in Italy it will be like that).
Btw Al you said 3 europeans, 44th, Motociclismo from Italy. Who' the 3 lucky guy?
Glad you got invited over there but that Ducati guy leading the pack obviously didn't want to upset the local speed limit signs. So pedestrian.
At least go to the same state as Pike's Peak.
If you and Boothy had got it with you on the IOM hills it would have been a far better test ;)
I was just about to have a little moan about you forgetting the GT !!!! Cus I’m a biased SD GT owner😜 good review….
Does this now mean you have more clout than MCN?!!
2020 BMW S1000XR
Came in to comments to ask if I was missing something as it seems a direct rival to the 1290GT. The '22 doesn't get the linked suspension like the SDR and SAS so it's more a mid life tweak than a true 3rd gen. I'm wondering if they've seen what Ducati have done and are revisiting their plans. My fingers are crossed as the Ducati is so premium priced
Makes sense that you guys are the only UK outfit invited along, you set the bar for youtube motorbike content so you should be invited to all launches by default. Cheers for all the great content!
Without looking it up, I couldn’t actually name another current UK outfit putting out this level of consistent content.
Do love me some LCR though.
Brake are good for the offroad/adv side of things, but there isn't anyone on 44teeth's level at all (not just UK) for me. They are the 2 wheeled version of prime Top Gear/GT (before they started phoning it in).
@@apexslider1 MCN
@@apexslider1 MCN does better bike reviews. 44Teeth is kind of sloppy when it comes to reviews.
Chris Northover from Bike World is great
44 teeth’s opinion clearly respected by Ducati! Well done!
As a californian living in a country with like ten roundabouts on the entire continent, hearing you say "Just put a roundabout for fuck's sake" touched me. America doesn't do circles.
NY has been building roundabouts at a breakneck pace... sadly NY drivers have not yet figured out how to negotiate them without turning the entire process into huge cluster$%(+.
Nevada here. There's a small roundabout outside my gated community and I've lost count of how many times they've had to replace signs that get knocked over or how many screeching tires I've heard during emergency braking... or people drifting at 2 AM. People with the right of way routinely stop mid-circle to let me get on while other that don't have the right of way go full send because they don't understand them
I half grew up in Europe, so I'm used to them, but America needs a massive education campaign before they're ready for that.
Unless it is Nascar...
many in michigan.bloody roundabouts with rubber on the perimeters.hahaha.
@@CaptainJacksIsland Nevadan as well. I hate roundabouts. I admit I'm just too stupid for them, I can't tell what lane cars are going to be in when they're coming around the circle, nobody signals out of them, you have to sometimes change lanes in them, I'm just too stupid man, I don't care if they're safer lol.
You need to explore more of the US. Some serious beautiful areas and astounding riding roads.
My thoughts. When he said he didn't associate America with that mountain top scenery, I was like... if he had a month to travel, he'd be in for a treat.
Ya want great motorcycling roads in California.... Santa Cruz mtns.... Hwy 35, to Alices Restaurant... A location that was once used in a motorcycling mag advertisement (don't ask me which or when).
Shhhhh... we are already too crowded in SC. Don’t need anymore people here.
Would love to see a battle between the S1000XR, Multistrada and Super Adventure S!
So glad you got to come out to California. Well deserved. You guys have been making amazing content for years and I've been following from California during that time. Road you were on has some nice sights but I'm surprised you don't think of America as having great views! If you stay to the west of Kansas - you'll find some of the most beautiful areas in the world. The western half of the US is incredibly beautiful and gets so much tourism from people all over the world. Wish you could have gotten to head up to Northern California. Definitely worth a road trip - you won't ever forget what you see.
West of Kansas? I’d say the entirety of the US is worth seeing aside from obvious ghetto areas. The swamps of Florida to Louisiana, the Appalachian in the East. The Ozarks in Missouri and Arkansas, the Great Lakes. Only a Californian would believe the only thing worth seeing in the US is west of Kansas. Wtf.
Need to check out the Tail of the Dragon and surrounding roads in Tennessee next time you do an America trip. 318 turns in 11 miles. Definitely not the California experience there, but it is a therapeutic atmosphere.
2015 I shipped my GSA over to Cali, spent three months touring and I rode that road in the heat, what a blast it was, I did it twice, I wish I did it on a sportier bike, welcome Fagan to the Highway 74 club, I bet we're in a small club on here! I rode Hwy 74 from the south too from San Juan Capistrano to Lake Elsinore, just nice, also I would suggest Hwy 164 from Vegas to Overton in Nevada, another cracking Rd, bends, twist, no much in the way of guard rails, love it, as you can tell I'm a USA fanboy too! I'll shut up now, great work Fagan, thanks for bringing back great memories. x
How much did the shipping cost to and from if you don’t mind me asking? And how much of a ball ache to sort was it?
Hmm Hwy 164 . I'm going to keep that in mind. I'm out that way a bit now adays .
@@ribbit876 you have to pay as you enter a National Park, but its a hot ride, but one you'll remember for sure, drink plenty of fluid, make sure you visit the Hoover damn, although I didnt ride there, I drove to the Devil's Step over looking Death Valley, there is crazy road to that view point, well worth the ride.
44 teeth in California, Righteous ! Love the Pikes Peak edition Multi-strap-on ! Full of protein and zero filler’s.
All day riding machine without feeling hammered on at the end of it. You don’t have to be doing warp 2, to have loads of fun in it.
You're Welcome for the US readership, Al.. There are a number of us here that have always bought UK bike mags in the shops and know who the Brit journos on youtube are. Frankly, print media for bikes in the US is dead and now all of the people that wrote for them are earning their way on CZcams-and frankly doing a great job of it.
Things are changing in the biking world, the launch you are on is proof of that. In the UK, it has generally aways been that older riders with more disposable money were the ones buying higher end bikes, now the US is like that. The problem is that as we get older, we care less about sportsbikes and more about not hurting for 2 days after a ride if we don't take aspirin. I'm one of those riders-between the wife and I, we have an R1M, EBR1190RS Carbon Edition, GSXR1000K5, Street Triple 765RS, a Hawk GT, A BMW R1200R, and a Grom...... I don't care about sportsbikes anymore, don't watch the tests or read the articles. It's not a matter of them being too much motorcycle, it's about them just not being relevant because the bikes we already had were hilarious in small blasts but useless as motorcycles outside of good riding days on weekends. Bikes like the Pike's Peak Mulitstrada, and Speed Triple are meant for people like me.
Hope to see your enterprise grow!
16:56 School buses are mobile stop signs in the USA. If the red lights flash, and the stop sign pops out you have to stop, or else. Also, when the lights are flashing on school zone signs you must reduce speed to 20mph (usually). My friend was caught speeding in a school zone after hours (sign off) but was still cited for speeding through a school zone. It's good that you had some guides there.
But in this situation whats the point of stopping?
Kids could leave the school bus and just run across the street without looking. While inconvenient at times, I do think it makes sense as a safety measure.
@@OneShotKill3r It's an excess of caution, but it avoids confusion. There are many videos online of cars speeding past buses and schools. I even saw one where they somehow pass a buss on the right as kids are exiting (I just don't remember where the vid is). I just wanted to clarify the situation for anyone who doesn't know the local laws.
I’m pretty libertarian. Don’t really give af what people do. Do heroin in your basement idc. Stopping for school buses is a good idea and should indeed be law. Kids aren’t mature enough to be 100% responsible for their safety. That’s where we supervise a bit. Agree or disagree, if any of you had spent your day today in an interrogation room and with lawyers discussing the child you ran over I doubt you’d sleep well tonight or anytime soon.
@@MrMann-gt1eh kids can run across the street after stepping out of a car too. Why not force everyone to stop at any car standing still? Imagine you’d run over some kid?
Let's be honest you guys deserve to be the ones to fly over for this. I can see this bike really upsetting some sports bikes.
$47,000 full loaded on the Ducati website configurator. I hope an Italian model comes with it...
Carlin Dunne, 4 times King of the Mountain, sold me my 2018 Multi 1260S in Nov 2018, eight months before he died on his 5th PP attempt. I was a 56 yr old ex dirt biker afraid of that kind of power, but Carlin talked me into it by assuring me I could tone it down until I was ready. I put it in Sport mode the 2nd day, put 15000 miles on it (Carlins dad Trevor set it up, full Termi, flashed, tons of upgrades) and ultimately tracked it on Laguna Seca! RIP Carlin you were the King, and Thank God for the Multistrada, both of you transformed and took years off of my life🤓. If I ever bought another Multi it would be a new PP.
You probably hear this a lot, but I rather be sure:
The editing skills you guys own and developed over the time of your channel has become so freaking stunning, it's incredible really. That intro of this video from 0:45 until 1:38 is cinema worthy.. Again, I hope you hear this a lot already, but just wanted to state the compliment again. In-fucking-credible!
That looks like promotional material provided by Ducati and shot and edited by professionals. Don't forget you're watching an event 100% paid for by Ducati.
I doubt this channel has that kind of editing skills.
I don’t remember ever hearing another UK, German, Italian or any American based journalists ever saying “I have an itch arse hole” on a review… this is what gets you noticed by Ducati and invites will flow 😂👍
RIP Carlin Dunne unfortunately lost his life setting an absolute record pace. King of the Moutain forever bro ride on
The original Multistrada 1000DS started the trend of long-travel suspension adventure bikes with 17'' wheels in 2003, followed by the excellent Buell XB12X Ulysses in 2006. I still have my XB12X.
Happy NY, 44Teeth.
Loved the video, i already love the Multistrada being on my second and one day i will have a V4 ....... eventually. Excellent bit of kudos for 44 teeth to be the sole UK invitee as it shows the crew are doing the right thing over and over again. Keep up the good work and crack on for loads of laughs in 2022
F yeah! 🤘🏻McD’s Transporter does it again!!👏👏
Luv ya, Nige❤️
Yep, that's the best part of California, it takes about 4 hours to cross the state side to side in most places and you can experience all four seasons in a day and all the different climate zones. From where I live in the Sacramento Valley, Tahoe is about an hour and a half and San Francisco is about 2 hours and the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains are about 20 minutes from me.. which is where I learned to drive :D There's lots of great twisty roads up there so long as you keep your eyes peeled for a random cow or wild pig or deer to be in the middle of the road or gravel/boulders to be on the road suddenly.
Never thought I’d ever see some Granny aerobics on a Ducati bike launch video 😂 Quality job as always Al
Great you guys were the only Brits invited. I had the 2018 1260 Pikes Peak for 2 years, a great ride for touring and twisties but it didn’t stir my soul owning one. I sold it after I realised I only took 1 photo of it and never gave it a sneaky peek after a ride.
I think a lot of people don't realize that some of the most beautiful scenery in the world is in California. And this is only around Palm Springs, which to isn't the best CA has to offer as far as views go. Go into the Sierra Nevada in the summer and fall, some of the best road motorcycling around. Winter is gorgeous as well, but not for motorcycles :)
CA is a big state, with pretty much every climate except for jungle: desert to the south, mountains to the east, coast on the west, and pines in the north.
The perception isn't really that. It's more the price of the bike that's stopping people buying them. Great video Jason
I meant 'adventure' bikes in general 👍🏼
Can’t believe the baron passed on a trip to the US, maybe still afraid of the escalators.
P.S. love your work Al , really enjoyed this video
America requires you to be fully vaccinated, and from Barons IG output, I’m guessing he’s not.
I wouldn’t mind, but he’s recently posted things like Joe Rogan interviews with Drs who speak against the vaccine. I’m all for free conversation, but he took it as gospel, when both had a chequered history for faking credits or corporate associations. It’s upsetting as I have a couple of friends doing similar with their own chosen content providers with their own narrative, and you can measurably see it damaging their mental health. Social media for you though…
@@StereoFozzie Oof. :/
@Tyler Braden In every large scale study, including a recent review of 29 million cases, the risk of all heart related events and bloodclots was significantly higher from the virus.
But even though the virus is worse, it’s still exceedingly rare. We are talking 1 in 28,000 cases, and nearly all recover without medical intervention or long term issue. Pfizer by comparison was 1 in 73,000. Some EU countries have rolled back the moderna jab for young people as the risk in men under 30 is close to that of the virus, so they use Pfizer instead.
It’s worth noting most popular anti-vax drs have shifted their views multiple times during the pandemic. They tried infertility, got debunked, came back some time later with heart issues, debunked, and now they’ve started with a “mass formation psychosis” theory of the vaccinated. Same people, wildly different claims, but the following tends to only know the one that hooked them in. It’s all just one big horrible media machine
My stomach just fell through my arse at 24.23. I shouted "catch it Fagan" in my head.
I live and ride in California. There are more fun twisty roads to ride than you can imagine. Your gloves look more like my ice hockey gloves than motorcycle gloves. Love this bike.
"wear your face diaper!" laughing...we love our Britt brothers a sisters!
Saludos from Texas! Glad Ducati brought you to the US! Love the channel!
Bikes likes these are now the modern roadsters
A wonderful all day bike
Another great review, thanks. Always look forward to your videos, king regards from Catalonia, Forza Ducati !!
Thank you! You have the best Moto CZcams channel!
As a HUGE hater of on-off adv bikes (multistrada, tiger, tracer, tdm, transalp, etc.) I have to say that the pikes peak v4 is a bike I lust over😍. It is the only bike in this category I like except the 1250gs HP. Only those 2.
Hardly the same thing, the Ducati runs rings around a GS
Man what a privilege. Recently came across your channel and you guys don't disappoint. Love the fact you lot talk like normal, swearing, batty individuals. You guys are sound!
American fan here. If I had to pick, 44Teeth would’ve been my pick! Glad you went.
Of course you have a large American audience! You're bombastic and rude and we love you! Lol
Love the grannies thrown in there randomly😂😂😂😂
So I was watching this while on the toilet…. And I was listening while playing a game…. When you did your Californian impression I genuinely thought someone else was talking and went back to the video and rewinded. Lol
When you said " As you can see I'm not in Shepton Mallet, Skegness or Bognor Regis"... the first thing I thought was "You're not in focus either" 🤣🤣🤣
Google's automated subtitles called it the Mighty Strider V4 at one point and I think Ducati missed the boat by not giving it that awesome name. Mighty Strider she shall be forever more.
Whats really stopping people from buying multistradas is the price. like 35k out the door in canada for those pikes peak editions(without the luggage or center stand or heater grips, gotta pay extra for those)
As a 58 year old ex hooligan,l still ride most of the time with the throttle pinned, but this year I decided I needed to get something comfortable for the wife (ok and me) but exciting and capable ........I've had the 1200 PP for few weeks.....bloody brilliant.
Ive seen most of the usa and the roads in california are pretty amazing. Its a huge state tailor made for the motorcycle rider. Now if it wasnt so expensive it would be incredible lol
Fagan's Christmas Carol and the steed of Christmas future, nice!
44 Teeth needs to make their way to Arkansas where they could ride some stunning curvy roads. But I mostly wonder when motorcycle manufacturers will start using active exhausts. My Mustang GT has this and it's a neat trick to be nearly silent and flip a switch and sound raucous.
Some like the Aprilia RSV and Tuono V4 models have flaps that act as baffles and automatically open above a certain RPM for a fuller sound.
Hell yeah! NWA baby!!!
Good review, certainly makes me think about trying one out. Thanks for a great video (Happy New year guys).
Happy new year Barry!
Great to see you getting the recognition you deserve. Have a great year!.
The Italians obviously love your well spoken english and your impeccable dress sense .......😂
I want one so bad!! But, my skill level renders me undeserving. Maybe next year! Fingers crossed!
Welcome to America Nige! Next time don’t sneak in and out. Let the U.S. fans know, schedule a meet and greet or better yet rent a track and let us all ride with you for the day…or both! Cheers.
Long time IS subscriber ,since 17 don’t think I’ve missed a video. In my opinion you guys have it all. As far as our views and scenery come out to Vermont anytime you please we have much to explore , beautiful mountains , hundreds if not thousands of miles of dirt roads , superbike tracks , motocross . You won’t be disappointed!!
Well done guys. Obvious why you were invited, in depth reviews by people with personality that can actually ride, and Statham's a Hollywood actor........all the prestige!!!!!
So, Yankee here, been following for few years, really enjoy your videos, good times.
I moved to Cali from Texas for its roads and beauty. I get to slay some of the most beautiful roads for sport riding the world has to offer aboard 2020 SuperDuke. But renting 2018 Multi Pikes Peak all next week to do long coastal ride. I ride SDR long distance, but in winter super nakeds are brutal for touring , even in California !
Welcome to America...I have been subscribed to your channel since the beginning...I followed the Barron over...🤣...nothing like seeing my favorite channel testing bikes in my home state....be safe and I hope you enjoyed your visit...
That cut to pregnant with a log in the carpark was very funny. Great vid
I'm from the South East U.S. and when a new bike launches I wait for you gals to release a review and then Asphalt & Rubber. So yeah you guys have my mindshare for reviews.
The cuts before he swears.... love it 🤣
10:13 Thank Goodness you say "SwingArm" instead of all the Nobs who say "SwingingArm" these days....Bravo !!!
10:53 "I do love that sunga swiler swinger" lol
Just did that ride with a buddy when I was in CA last September. Come to Oregon in the summer. Roads like that and no cars. And the whole state smells like trees- both kinds. No lane splitting though :( And yes, this American watches you more than any US motorcycle channel. Cuz you guys are the best.
Strange that Ducati continues this edition when bikes are no longer allowed to compete at Pikes Peak after Carlin Dunne's tragic accident.
Great review! 👍
Jittery and distorted wide angle lens image? Yep, it's a *44Teeth* video.
Ducati's version of a Range Rover Sport, a Sports Utility Bike that's not meant to see dirt, ever!
The best publication hands down
A group ride video from the usa that doesn't include 15 groms, tshirts, standup wheelies and smashing peoples mirrors. I didn't know such a thing existed!
They send you to review a bike and you fall in love with CA. Hilarious! Excellent review bro.
Brilliant review as usual,always a treat to see a new episode!
Great video editing guys. Thought I’d mention it as it’s often overlooked by the public on your videos. Stellar work 🤘🏻 (congrats for saying fu*k it to Covid 19 and going to USA )
“I underestimated how cold it would be”…. Riding in the sunshine along palm tree lined roads and desert vistas ….
44 is king !!!!
Love from Scotland 🏴
You guys are the absolute best and it’s good to see companies recognize it.
I live in Cali, hopefully you get to come out here again and ride more of the west coast. Also, got a good laugh out of your confusion at the stopped school bus.
Surprised no track session. I’d love to see this, the ktm, and bmw rip around the ring on another trip!
I love my sports bikes, I would chop my RSV1100 factory in for one of these but the cost 😬, may be in a couple of years when they are less used. Will suit the tight, twisty, naggery roads here in Malaga Spain 🇪🇸👍
Welcome! Y'all come back. Love the channel.
Al I hope you get an invite to North Carolina and ride the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Dragons Tail and a dozen other Twisties close by. Great video, as usual, and enjoy Cali.
I love riding North Carolina and Tennessee, and I live literally off HWY-1 in California so I have twisty roads for days at my doorstep. Best riding in the US outside of the mountain west. In BC the roads north of Vancouver (HWY 37 into Yukon) is probably the best riding in North America, full stop. Hundreds of miles of nonstop twisties that one has to experience to believe.
Happy new year chaps, all he best for 2022. Thanks for the Dakar update, was hunting around the results last night confusing myself.
Awesome that you got the invite, well deserved in my book.
Great video!
I think the best way to describe these are sports tourers. But, the opposite of the sports tourers of yesteryear. Where sports tourers used to be sports bikes with extra comforts and luggage (I.e: VFR800), the new sports tourer is the other way around. Touring bikes made sporty. And personally I feel these work better this way, but it’s down to how each rider likes their riding position. But as you said, with an ageing rider group, the buyer has decided that the comfort side and riding position with sports performance, is more for them than when they were younger, when they wanted the sporting position with a few extra creature comforts.
KTM failed for the ‘22 SDGT by not putting radar on their sports tourer when the SAS has it. Wtf !! Love the Duke PP, but way out of my price bracket, even the standard v4s (which I’ve ridden and LOVE) is hard to justify over the price of a SAS
Great video! Funny to watch a UK based channel riding in my backyard. Glad you enjoyed the Pines to Palms route.
Awesome review as usual , love that fact that you were able to go to America with Ducati and be apart of this launch , shows us that your opinions and reviews matter . and that we are clearly watching one of the best youtube channels available . can't wait to see the 3 of you in another video together soon . Happy new year 44 teeth.
*apart = being separated from something
*a part = being part of something
You are in my backyard.! That route you did is one of my weekend rides I do regularly. Such a great ride!
First Welcome to America Jason!🍻Next my condolences for being in California (apart from the weather) 😀
Hope you enjoyed your stay. Great review as always.🍻
Haha funny, I've lived in California, riding motorcycles and driving cars, for over 30 years and ready to leave! You are welcome to join us in Cali, just be prepared to pay for health insurance and high real estate costs!!! Part of me still wants to stay here, because of the tracks and roads. The Pikes Peak version has been the only bike which would make me consider selling my Tuono Factory. :)
…move to Texas like everyone else from Cali. Buy a big fuckin house with mostly Cali cash and have all the amenities of Cali except for added Rights’ and priveledges. There’s ZERO reason to live in California. All that said, I understand the intrinsic connection to your homeland which you were raised in 100%.
Currently looking at the Pikes Peak, this has definitely stirred my interest a bit more!
So.. who let the cat out in my neck of the woods! Here to make fun of how fat we are.. look, I only have a few pounds to go.. Your adoring fan. You’ve pulled me through the last 2 years, and going. So in honor I’ll change the kids dog’s name to 44teeth. Here 44teeth here boy!
😂
Great video and great ride!!! Regarding the publication, you guys absolutly deserve =) And man ... your selling Cali in a wonderful way, i feel i must go there at least once!
Would love to see the 44T experience Deals Gap. I reckon you lads would be blown away by the Dragon.
So cal babyyy. Enjoy it man. Wish you could have done a meet up.
Wish there was time to do so
@@FortyFourTeeth hopefully next time!
Yet another amazing video, thanks for the BeMoto discount aswell 👍🏼
The 44Rewards three-way love triangle 👍🏼
A big YEE YEE from Alabama. Love you guys stuff! 🤣🤣
Wait, people actually think the US doesn't have killer twisty roads? If you measured something like "twisty roads per-capita", the US would be pretty low. But that's just because half the states are basically flat cornfields. Basically the whole west coast is littered with twisties. Las Vegas has plenty, Colorado and anything in the rockies. The smokey mountains.
Happy New Year 44T team!
What's the Dakar situation, was searching for you boys on the entry list?
Got told in October that we couldn’t enter Malle Moto, which we meant we had to magic £50k out of nowhere. Now aiming for 2023
Thanks for the update. Gotta be tough watching it on TV but all the best for 2023
Not throwing shade at all, but it gives Mick and his team a chance to put some reliable bikes together for Al and Boothy
@@FortyFourTeeth Nothing wrong in another year of practice and prep before you try it. Gotta be the biggest challenge after the TT for a bike rider! (I see Danilo is out on day 2 with a bust motor)
Wowsers! 44Teeth are now the establishment
Another great review, thanks. Always look forward to your videos 👍🏻
