Maintenance costs aren't that high if you don't do anything. DUCATI Multistrada V4 S [Webike My Bike Pickup]

This project picks up and introduces one bike that the editorial department is interested in from the MY BIKES posted on the Webike community. This time, we are featuring the DUCATI "Multistrada V4 S", owned by "Ossan Shokunin Rider".

Multistrada V4 S (1200cc) Owner: Ossan Shokunin Rider

DUCATI's "Multistrada V4 S" reigns as the company's flagship adventure model. At its heart, it is equipped with the "V4 Granturismo," a lightweight and compact V4 engine, delivering powerful performance in every situation, from on-road sports riding to traversing unpaved roads.

The biggest feature is that it is the world's first production motorcycle to be equipped with radar systems on both the front and rear. Advanced rider assist functions realized by this, such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Blind Spot Detection (BSD), dramatically reduce fatigue during long-distance touring. Furthermore, it comes standard with electronically controlled suspension and a variety of riding modes, gathering enthusiastic support from riders around the world as the ultimate tourer that achieves a high-level balance of comfort and sportiness.

Owner Ossan Shokunin Rider chose this bike as his beloved machine, drawn not only by falling in love with its styling at first sight, but also by its comfort on highways and its advanced radar functions. He affectionately calls it "Multi" and seems to be living a fulfilling motorcycle life, from city riding to high-speed cruising. His attitude of steadily working on customization and improving his riding skills toward his wonderful goal of traveling around Japan by the age of 60 is very charming.

＜From MY BIKE comments＞

■Purchase motivation, usage, and comparison models

Love at first sight, the fact that it doesn't tire you out on the highway, and the radar functions.

■Pros

It looks striking, and it's easy to ride from city streets to highways. The riding mode functions are well-equipped, and I have no complaints!

■Cons

It's heavy! Customization costs money! It's expensive!

■Advice for future buyers

Maintenance costs aren't that high if you don't do anything, but please be careful if you are the type who wants this and that customized. You will run out of money lol 😆

■Future custom plans

I'm aiming to travel around Japan by the time I'm 60, so I'm thinking about improving my riding skills accordingly and how to load camping gear, and I'll be installing engine guards soon! Other than that, I'm considering AELLA handlebars. I'll also be changing the side stand to an AELLA one soon.
