I thought I should start this thread as I’d started the pikes peak one when I started to look at what I might have next. Ordered the V4S in full trim with a few extras in Glacier White with spoked wheels. I think this will cover my needs for the next couple of years.
My thoughts as well , a brilliant bike and loving mine now after the issues with the PP , now fitted a few things to mine like black rear sets , black belly pan and red side panels HPE chain , QD de cat next and love every mile. Looks classy in white , good choice , enjoy your new bike.
Looking at switching from my 2018 BMW GSA to one of these. My only reservation is fuel range. Will it go 300 km's between fills on a highway trip?
After avoiding large bikes like this for years and riding solely on sports bikes I can honestly say this thing has changed my riding forever (MS V4S). As you suggest, this bike will also cover my needs for a very long time, literally the best bike I have ever owned. Yes, should be fine. Without changing this into a mileage thread, just ride conservatively with the throttle, short shift and creep up to motorway speeds. As soon as you hear that (lovely!!) airbox noise your consumption is out the window, ride with that in mind and use your ears you can really stretch it out. Just my two cents.
Nice surprise yesterday, £1500 of accessories etc FREE ! thank you Ducati, what a deal sweetener that is.
Nice, they’ve always looked good in white. Looking forward to seeing the real pictures. When do you pick it up?
It should arrive in mid August but I’ll hold it over until 1st September for a 72 plate. Apparently the Glacier White build replaces the Sport and is due to be built June / July. I liked the Sport colors but having seen the White, with wire wheels I was sold. Seriously considered the Pikes but having now ridden one beautiful as it is needed to be ridden on the track to get any advantage over the more comfortable V4s, just seemed pointless for our pothole riddled, broken surface roads. . Now £1500 off it becomes a no brainer for me.
Or not unless you’re into track days or a few laps of the Nurburgring on the way way way down south. Having ridden both and not into track days any longer unfortunately the PP held no value to me other than glamour. My 1260 PP will be missed but not half as much as my previous 1200s DVT. The days of track day fast groups, knee downs, swapping tyres because the shoulders are worn out and changing brake fluid every 2000 miles are passed for me. If they weren’t then there may still be a value in the new PP for me. How many PP,s will be ridden for what they were intended? But….. It does look gorgeous. (I got overtaken once - lack of concentration)
£38 to fill up my V4 just with 13 miles of fuel left showing on the dash when I pulled in. inflation is way out of control.

I ordered a red V4S in November last year and changed the order to a white V4S when it was announced in March. This delayed the delivery until early June, unfortunately too late to take it to the EMM (European Multistrada Meeting) in Chaves, Portugal. So I went on my 1200S, arranging to take delivery of the V4S in early July after getting back home and having time to clean and remove accessories from the 1200S. I checked today, and I will be get the £1,500 voucher applied to the the accessories I'd ordered. So again, many thanks @Steelboss as I hadn't spotted the offer. - if we ever meet up I owe you a beer or two
Opinions please, does the dash need a screen protector? If so what type and are there any particularly good ones?
Doesn't need one. The only problem I have found is water causes spots if left to dry on the screen. And the only thing I have found that removes them is.....more water.
