Thanks Phil; really appreciate the feedback!

You give more 'real world' info than the big magazine guys do. For example: 1) telling us your size and how you fit the bike 2) telling and showing us the headlight coverage (I ride a lot at night) 3) how is the bike for a pillion rider 4) maintenance intervals and costs 5) clutch engagement action and pull force needed 6) no gratuitous wheelies 7) how the bike responds with a passenger 8) no obnoxious music. Thanks for keeping it about the info -- and not trying to impress us with stupid human tricks. There are already too many bad review sites. Yours is not one of them. Subscribed.

Yo dude...your vid review is one of the reasons I'm now riding a 2017 Multistrada. I've ridden motorcycles for over 40 years, but over the last 10 I was glued to H-D's and each new one got bigger and bigger, and I found I was riding less and less each year. Each one pulled me farther and farther away from my spirited dirt-bike riding/motocross roots. Last year I told my wife I was done with riding Harleys...for sooo many reasons. She was not happy, but understood. Earlier this year I went to a local bike shop to look at a BMW I saw online...and in person I was underwhelmed. Then, literally, I turned around and saw a 2017 Multistrada with only 5,000 miles on it staring me in the face, and I was floored by the looks/style of the bike. At that point I was pretty convinced that was going to be my next bike. I had to wait a few months for the weather to let me take it out for a test ride...and when I did, I was hooked: The power, the handling, the styling...THIS was the bike I've wanted for decades, but didn't know it. I'm now putting roughly a 1,000 miles a month on my Duc, and loving every minute. So thanks 2 Wheeled Rider.

Very nice review, I enjoyed it a lot! I've got 2010 Kawasaki Versys 650 and put 50 000 miles on it, didn't have any issues, did a lot of comfort enhancements. Versys works so well that even I know I should replace it sooner or later, it's so hard to find a bike of the same class but just more powerful and more refined. 2017 MTS 950 is that kind of bike: almost the same weight as my V, more power, better components, more comfortable, easy to ride, and it doesn't cost a leg and an arm.

Hi man! Great review! Did you find annoying the reflection of the speedo on the wind protection shield during night time or do you get used to it fast? During this short time you were riding night time the reflection took my attention for some reason but in other hand you didn’t mention anything about it.

I'm a former Monster owner so I have a soft spot for those bikes. The Monster is fun as hell on twisties and around town. I've done some longer distances on one but that's not really what they're made for and there's not much wind protection on the highway. The Multi 950 is better suited for longer distances and overnight trips but still great as an all-rounder. I really think it comes down to the type of riding you're going to do. Taking time to reply is one of my favorite parts of being on KZread. I hope that information helps.

Have a Versys 1000 but really like the sound of this! What do you reckon? Worth a bike change?

@2WR

7 жыл бұрын

That's a tough one because I do like the Versys 1000, too. Performance-wise the Ducati wins hands down being about 100lbs lighter, better suspension and more power. I think as far as touring capability, it's probably about a tie. If I were choosing brand new between the two, I'd take the 950. Since you already have a Versys 1000, I'd say take a test ride on the Multi and see if it can whoo you into trading in your Kawi and some cash.

Great review, I liked you actually showed some "daily usage tips". I currently have a FJ-09, but I would like to hear anyone's opinion on trading it for the multi. I rode the 950 for a short while (20 mins) and noted its less "aggressive" but it does brake better. Is it worth the extra bucks?

@2WR

7 жыл бұрын

That's a tough call. I've owned some Yamaha's I've loved but that 950 is a helluva bike. I think the long term maintenance costs are going to be close to a wash so it comes down to the upfront cost. Approx $3k more up front? If you can afford it, I'd probably buy the Ducati.

Nice vid man!I have some questions for you.Was it smooth at very low (less than 3000) rpm?Did you have any difficulty finding the neutral?Did it vibe???Thanks pal,ride safe!

@2WR

7 жыл бұрын

Thanks! 1) Yes, even in sport mode it was smooth. 2) Nope 3) It's a twin so it's gonna vibrate more than an inline four but not so much that it's bothersome.

I'd say the Suzuki V-Strom 1000 comes the closest in specifications. Suzuki: bit more torque, bit less power. Same fuel capacity. 11 pounds heavier. Better tire sizes (110/80 and 150/70) for off-paved selections. Reliability and long engine service intervals. Dealer support/parts.

any thoughts on the mileage? I personally am a big fan of the GS style because they provide all of the fun and great mpg simultaneously. Great review btw!

@2WR

7 жыл бұрын

Ducati says 48mpg w/ a tank range of 211 miles. I only saw low 40s out of it. That was likely from a combination of riding it hard on roads I know very well AND keeping it running while setting up cameras to record both on and off the bike. My next review (which posts tomorrow) I give the mpg but take it with a grain of salt.

Thanks for your review. New subscriber here. (The wifey info super important!) I have to say that I'm not convinced in the strategy they are using with this bike, oh and by the way the bike is freakin awesome! I have a Tiger 1200 and looking for something a bit smaller and I really like this bike. However, I think the Triumph approach of having their Tiger line up being equal is a better one than Ducati having the 950 being a second-class citizen next to it's older brother. A lot of customers buy motorcycles due their size, not their pockets, specially in the premium market. So, why not let people that want to have a smaller Multistradas upgrade to other key features if they want to? If you are a Ducati customer, you are in for a full Ducati experience, not a Type B one. This is counter intuitive with what Ducati as a brand represents. Just my 2 cents. Love the bike but will keep my Tiger Explorer with full features for now. When the bike comes with the options, I will be a closer conversion for the change.

I really like the _Ducati _*_Multistrada_* in both versions *BUT* seems that _Ducati_ reserve the best components to the _1200 _*_Enduro_* (I mean the luggage rack, panels and even the display) because the luggage racks of the _1200 _*_Enduro_* is made of aluminium and here in _950_ is from *plastic* and I don't see that was fair for long trips. Didn't get if the panels here are also of aluminium like the _1200_ but seems to be plastic... Other thing that I dislike is the fuel capacity, in that model is so poor when in _1200 _*_Enduro_* there are 30 liters (7.92 gal) like in the bavarian competitor. I wish I can buy the _1200 _*_Enduro_* but if _Ducati_ enhances the lacks of the _950_ I think is even better option for urban environments and not very long trips and maybe in _offroad_ trips.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Martin. Despite the 19" front wheel I think the 950 is definitely more sport touring over adventure touring. That said, with some more trail oriented tires, I'd be interested to see what it could do. If there is the demand, I could see Ducati coming out with a more "adventure version" of the Multi 950. On the topic of bags, the bags from the Enduro 1200 (Touratech aluminum) can be fitted to the 950.

Is there really a big difference between this and the 1200 s? Nice video!

You should fit the bike just fine. As with any bike, I would suggest a test ride first. It has plenty of customization with the electronics to keep you safe and kinda grow into when it comes to the power modes. The newest model has some additional upgrades to make the bike even better than the 17 I tested. It would make an excellent touring bike but still plenty of fun on the twisties and even in town.

At about the same price point you're really going to have to decide if you want an ADV bike (Yamaha) or a sport touring bike (Ducati).

Find it strange that 937cc/113 hp is called "baby" these days? I think a great alternative to the Ducati product here in the 950 clothing, is the Suzuki DL1000/XT. 1037cc with more torque and a bit less hp. Also 511 pounds. Motorcycle.com did a shootout between 950, DL1000, and RnineT and the DL was the conclusive winner for a lot of reasons. I'm probably going to be picking up a DL1000XT tomorrow!

Nothing wrong with those Suzukis. The things are basically bullet-proof.

How good is this bike for a daily ride?

What type of daily riding? City commuting? Highway?

If they added cruise, this would outsell every touring bike.

I'm speculating that I "could" be added. Since it has a Ride-by-Wire system in theory it's only missing the buttons.

I've seen it done. Company called Tuneboy out of Austrailia. They flash the ECU on the Diavels and older Multi's. Simply push the starter button on the bike and you're locked on that speed. Press the brake or clutch, it disengages. No added buttons, no wiring, nothing. Too bad they're not focusing on Ducati anymore, they've been on a Yamaha kick lately and lost business from the Ducati guys because a Hypermotard cruise control was promised and they never came through. We had a ton of guys in line to buy it and they never developed it. A shame.

You and me both. As much as I enjoyed this bike, it was since getting back on my 1290SA to whack the throttle!

I can't confirm that the 950 weighs 40 pounds less than the 1200. Where did you get that figure?

Jeff Tippett wet weight figure for the 1200 are all over the place. I've seen as low as 518 but many places have it listed as 527. The 1200 Enduro (the last Multi I rode) is listed at 560. One article had the regular Multi 1200 listed at 13 less than the Enduro (so 547). The only way to know for sure is to throw it on a scale. Heck, the listed 950 wet weight is with the tank only 90% full.

Passion. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Let me look into it and get it sorted out.

do not buy from misaligned panels, rust in the exhaust, vibrations at all rotations, very noisy engine, stupidly expensive maintenance and poor customer service, I'm seriously sorry I bought this bike,
