1260 Ducati Multistrada 1260 V4 !! 190hp

Andy did you run the standard pipe on your 1200? I found my MPG dropped noticeably with a decat system on.

 

No mate, ran a Leo Vince virtually from new but more recently fitted an Arrow. Had a remap originally that I know is a bit rich, just waiting on the dyno opening up after lockdown and hoping it’s before BSB testing starts as the man will have more pressing priorities. Andy

 

I guess it would be fair to say that if you put a similar pipe on the V4 you would also see a drop in mpg, so perhaps low 30’s realistically?

 

My Panigale V4 returns low 20s on the track Andy

 

Just bought a 1260S last week, commuting so far returns 49.5 mpg. Very similar to my old 1200S.

 

If you’re all that worried about MPG, get a diesel van and stick the bike in the back. Then wheel it out when you get to your destination.

 

You'd get considerably more from a CB125, why not get one of those?

 

Wonderful, awesome. I’ll nip out and get one, very helpful advice thanks.

 

Notice how current fuel prices are jumping up considerably?

 

Getting ready for when everyone needs to start buying more fuel again!!

 

OPEC were expecting to cut production a bit while having a major meeting last week. They didn’t (cut)so oil high

 

Nope!

 

Gone up 10p a litre since Xmas round here.

 

Configured a V4S Mutley at nearly 22.5k with luggage, Akra, la la. Just done the same on new KTM 1290 SA. Came out at 18.2k more or less like for like spec.
That's a big financial wedge of difference.

 

Don't forget that KTM will be discounting the new 1290 within weeks, so that'll drop to about £15k!

 

You can pick up year old KTM SA's with less than 2k miles for less than £12k. New ones make no financial sense.

I sold my 1 year old 1290SA for about £9.5K. That was good going, as dealers and webuyanybike offered about £8.5K. Never again.

 

I rode v4 and ms1260s back to back preferred front end of 1260 sharper more confidence inspiring

 

And 5 k less

 

Ktm is ugly looks cheaper and less premium feel
