In reply to Mr MegaTruong. Some would even call it eyewatering.

In reply to James Bachhuber. Suzuki called, she said her youngest pleb daughter GSXS1000GT it's ready to mingle if you're single, BLIND and desperate.

You know we live in strange times when CF Moto makes more attractive bikes than Ducati…

In reply to Tom Traynor. Yeah, a better Ducati analogue for the SDGT would be if they took the Streetfighter V4S and tacked on hard bags, a windscreen, and a bigger fuel tank. Which . . . now that I've described it, sounds utterly fantastic.

In reply to Jeff Moore.

Me thinks they are not issuing a 2022 GT on the new V.3 Superduke platform though. Or at all–basically. I’m on a GT now and maybe this rides two small people a bit better? they are comparable but also different. 17″ wheel. Power (but not torque–will I miss the GT sledgehammer motor but love the V4 for other reason?). Seat height same.

In reply to MikeD. Agreed, Pikes Peak doesn’t deserve the free advertising.

In reply to Jensen Beeler. I test rode a 2017 XR and the vibes were unacceptable. It would be a little over the top to compare it with a jackhammer but not by much.

having owned a 2017 PP MTS, this one is slightly more lustworthy to me. Unfortunately, its also a whoooole lot more $$$. Even as a late model GS owner, these top ADV bikes are becoming unobtainium priced playthings.

In reply to MikeD. I’m only looking. No touching. Honda is perfect for everyday. There’s already a Ducati and Aprilia in the garage for when I have urges. The truth is I just want all the bikes. All of them.

In reply to paleochocolate. . . . That may be BUT it still looks better than this new one, JMO.

The genre-bending Ducati tries to do with these “hard-core” Multistrada variants baffles me. But I guess if you just consider it a hotrodded sport touring bike, it’s kinda neat.

As someone who has wanted this bike for some time, I’m a bit underwhelmed now that it’s here. No doubt that it is blisteringly fast, with excellent fit and finish, complete with all the latest tech, and dripping with carbon fiber. It isn’t tingling the fizzy bits like I thought it would. Maybe it’s the design, maybe it’s the overall aesthetic, or maybe it’s the over $30k price tag (and that’s before I add the requisite hard bags)? With a 2012 Pikes Peak in the garage with all right naughty bits on it, a $20k leap to this bike seems like way too much.

Maybe I need to see in person and throw a leg over it?

In reply to Ryan Donahue. I'd agree with you, but the "regular" Multi V4s class rival is actually the 1250GS now. It's only this Pikes Peak flavour of the Multistrada V4 that's supposed to compete with the XR. And while the Ducati is clearly the better motorcycle of the two, BMW positioned their offering very aggressively price-wise which should allow them to have a much broader base of potential customers.

In reply to Angel Post Coitem. Only Ducati has sold far more Multistradas than BMW has sold XRs.

I have no doubt this is a vastly better bike, but man this makes me miss the ST4S. I just want the Supersport with the 1260 motor and hard bags that mount as cleanly as the Z1000SX’s. Is that so much to ask?

In reply to n/a. I was hoping they would call it something else.
