Noobie, That might not be anything to do with the engine as such though. Its not exactly an exciting bike to ride, despite being very capable (a bit like the VFR12 too). CanadaRider, apparently the V4 sounds like a V2 at low revs due to its firing order, and pulls like a twin too, but just revs higher. 2 dealers now have told me in their view the MTS may well get the engine in 2020, as Ducati see the engine as a 'range engine', saying it cost a lot to develop so will have to pay for itself by being in more models (maybe this is what they have been told, who knows). Hopefully by the time it makes it into the multi any engine issues will have been ironed out. If it rides as well as the current bike, keeps all the practicalities and functionality, is comfy for the wife, doesn't have a drinking problem, isn't a daft amount of money, and looks good, then I'm in
You've clearly not heard a V4 panigale then. It's all testastreta in the sound and clattery engine department.
At main dealers yesterday & they still maintain no V4 multi. I do not believe they would not put a awesome v4 in the multi.
Best sounding bike in years: R1. If they can do that with an in-line 4, imagine how great a full V4 in a multi will sound.

https://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/2018/august/ducati-cheaper-v4/ OH HELL YEAH !!! Bring it Claudio !!!
Is it too early to put a deposit on a 2020 v4 ? I wonder what they consider the top of the range model for the multi, the s or the PP ?
Anyone seen the MCN article with the interview with Claudio Domenicali (page 6) indicating that the Multi will be the next big implementation of the V4 engine?
Exert from Ducati. This leaves three options – a new V4 Multistrada derivative, a big sports tourer or a four-cylinder supernaked that will go toe-toe with the likes of Aprilia’s V4 Tuono. In a previous interview the Ducati CEO indicated that it would be the Multistrada that we’d see first, but we think it will be 2020 before we see either bike.
Ive not heard one on full chat yet but itll would have to be some motor to beat my RSV4's noise (full system)....
The next V4 coming is in the new streetfighter which will be revealed towards the end of this year, this I’ve known since earlier in the year. Multi may get the V4 but I would think towards the end of 2020 available to buy 2021.
