Ducati Multistrada S DVT

Looks fantastic dave best of luck with it

[Dave]

Thanks Gar!

Covered 200km on it. It's the best bike I've ever ridden.

First impressions are that Ducati have really upped their game, the build quality is excellent.

It was weird watching someone else drive the M5 back though.

Such a nice bike!!

[Dave]

I don't know how I'm expected to make these decisions

[Dave]

450km on the bike now. It's an absolutely immense machine.

Such an easy bike to throw around, you can achieve ridiculous lean angles effortlessly.

I also didn't anticipate how much I would enjoy cruise control on a bike.

Night time illumination is excellent, the LED that illuminates the corners works extremely well. I do need to adjust the headlight down a touch.

My only real complaint is the screen, I'm 5"11 and with the seat set low and the screen adjusted to its highest I'm still getting a lot of turbulence around the top of my helmet. I'm going to order the Ducati performance touring seat and touring screen.

Overall I'm absolutely delighted with it, it's gone beyond my expectations.

950km in, getting its run in service tomorrow morning, gonna let Rosso Ducati do it as I don't fancy heading up north.

Gave it a clean, fitted the panniers, I'm gonna head straight from Dublin to Kerry for the weekend, gonna do the ring of Kerry.

So I fitted the panniers they need to be colour coded

Thanks Mike.

It had its run in service last Saturday at 1050km




There's now 2620km on it. When you break 6k RPM it just completely takes off, there's not much out there that could touch it in terms of speed.

I got bored on the way home tonight and tried a bit of economical stuffs, so boring.



I registered as a beta tester for Ducati's Multistrada app.

It's quite cool. It registers information about your trip.

This is the first time I could get the app going but it maps your journey.



Maps the telemetry for the trip.



There must be a bug because there's no way I was doing that speed

Shows you things like my maximum lean angle and where it occurred



It's very cool, but could be very incriminating if it worked, which it obviously doesn't, because I wouldn't speed

[camnhoj]

Wonder can it be configured to measure wheelie angle , speed and distance. . . :hehe!:

An auld rg80 was my first means of transport and not had a bike since. Had no idea bikes had all these bells and whistles these days, looks very cool
