I had a question about the saddle bags and highways. Do you feel the weight on the highway, especially when it's filled up. Does it affect your aerodynamics? Overall, good detailed informative video!

Yes. It makes a big difference. You are carrying easily 30-40 kilos extra. The wind resistance is quite big. The riding dynamics change. The aerodynamics change. It changes everything. I talk about it in 6:55. Thank you for your appreciation.

This is literally the best multistrada review on KZread. You go over things that so called "Motorcycle journalists" don't go over. Showing the controls of the bike and taking it into serious off-road conditions really shows a lot about the bike. Thank you!

@KrishnenduKes

Amazing question. Not much to reply. There is not much to differentiate in the ride quality between the two. I daresay that the Tiger has a wee bit edgier throttle response. Beyond that it is a tough call. I suggest you go with the bike that has better after sales in your area.

Awesome review! Covered pretty much everything in this video. One thing I would like to know is does the multistrada 950 get unbearably hot in stop-and-go traffic of India? Edit - Also do you plan to test the 2021 model? Edit 2 - Just checked the Autocar india artice and it states that the bike doesn't throw heat on your legs to the point it becomes bothersome but I'll still like to know your opinion.

Thank you for your comments. It is true. It does not throw heat anywhere. That said, I tested in spring when temperatures were not that hot. But I was in Jaipur where traffic was pretty bad and heat was not an issue. No, I do not plan to test the 2021 model. I live in America now and ride very different bikes at the place where I work. Lol.

Nice review. I may have misunderstood you but the Cons. feature refers to fuel consumption as either an average value or instant value. I think I heard you say constant as opposed to consumption.

Usually the service cost of most of these "big bikes" is a little less than that of cars. It will set you back by around 4-6K including parts like oil, oil filter etc. When I had my R1, I used to service it myself.

I am only 1,73 am am affraid that the seat height is too high. My previous bike was a 1200 gs but i managed to reduce the height with 2 cm. What do you think. Does Ducati have a similar option?

Is it just me, to does it look like you're comparing it's off-road, deep sand traversing ability to that of a (and it looks like a...)
