Ducati Multistrada V4
The Ducati Multistrada V4 was introduced in 2021, replacing the previous twin-cylinder Multistrada 1260 and marking a significant leap forward with the new 1158cc Granturismo V4 engine. It debuted as the world's first motorcycle with front and rear radar-assisted adaptive cruise control and blind spot detection, setting a new benchmark in adventure touring technology. The model quickly became one of Ducati's best-selling motorcycles globally, praised for its blend of long-distance comfort, sports performance, and cutting-edge electronics.

What Buyers Should Know
Extended Service Intervals
The V4 engine features Ducati's Desmodromic Variable Timing (DVT) with valve service intervals pushed to 60,000 km (37,000 miles), dramatically reducing ownership costs compared to older Ducati models.
Watch the Fuel Pump
Early 2021-2022 models had reported fuel pump failures and occasional ECU software glitches — verify any used example has had Ducati's official recall and software updates applied before buying.
Strong Resale Value
The Multistrada V4 holds resale value exceptionally well for an adventure bike, typically retaining 75-85% of its value after two years, thanks to strong brand demand and its class-leading radar cruise control technology.
