V4 2021 Multistrada V4s Sport

Had Biketrac tracker fitted this week ( insurance requirement) …. Seems like a decent unit …. I had an operating query on Friday night so just emailed them using customer contact form …. Had a reply from them 10 minutes later ! Hopefully I’ll never need it but I do like the fact that it’s now fitted and I can broadly forget about it

 

hi mate .. yes at the Silverstone MotoGP round Ducati had 2 versions of the bike on their stand … one of which had the low seat, low suspension options … I decided low seat on its own first to see how I get on as the lower suspension is £200 odd quid for the spring etc plus labour cost which bumps that up even more … so far I have to say that the bike feels very well balanced and I am just being super cautious when moving it around and pulling up at junctions etc with the road camber .. if I move it around I tend to get off and push rather than paddle with my legs/feet ! Thanks for the heads up though

 

Just received the Iconic one, thanks for the heads up mate

 

So, been a bit busy last couple of weeks and not much riding, still waiting for crash bars and engine guard from Ducati, 4 weeks now, Iconic parts have the top box plate on back order but I have just received the Satnav bracket which looks good. Popped to Ducati Coventry to see about tank protection from knees etc and as I don't want to cover up the paint work they have recommended a clear film product which I will look to have fitted when crash bars etc arrive.

 

So , received the Iconic Parts sat nav bracket for my Tom Tom. Very well made, 5 minutes to fit and I much prefer the position “up high” …. Need to wire it in next …. Still waiting for the Iconic Parts top box plate which has been on back order for a while,

 

Very pleased with the Tom Tom position and now hard wire to the supplied Ducati wiring. I used bullet connectors to try it initially and now that I’m happy with it I think I’ll solder the wires over the winter months

 

I have used the Tom Tom for a while now as several of my riding group use then and we just got used to how they work, route planning & sharing. I prefer the separate sat nav to the LCD screen and also prefer it high up … not particularly impressed with Sygic …. Would also rather have my sat nav and bike data separate. The tail connector piece did indeed make it much easier to connect the sat nav up and big shout out to all the forum members for recommending the Iconic bracket .. works a treat and fits the bike well I think

 

Been a bit busy recently but finally after 2 months waiting I received my crash bars and engine guard from Ducati …. Had them powder coated black and after a ride in last Thursday’s monsoon weather I got them fitted at Ducati Coventry.

Also managed to get the official top box plate and a second hand 30L Givi Dolomiti top box …. Big enough for most daily travels

 

So, not quite sure where the last 18 months have gone ... bit of a blur with work, family and other commitments ..... I have loved the V4 MTS but I'm not doing anywhere near the type of riding/mileage to justify the MTS's capabilities so I have decided to go back to my naked bike riding and will very soon be the proud owner of Ducati Streetfighter V2 .... tried the V4 and as amazing as it is , it is way too much for me to use/need so the V2 is a happy blend for me ... will sort out a new thread when it arrives
