My 2013 Ducati Multistrada Pikes Peak - A 10-year ownership review

In this video I talk about my 2013 Ducati Multistrada Pikes Peak. I talk about Multistradas in general, how I got mine, what is the bad and the good about it, I complain about the shrinking Ducati dealer network, the need to have a proprietary engine code reader to work on this motorcycle, and why on earth someone wants a motorcycle that rides well at 30mph in 6th gear. Finally, I will tell you my thoughts about this motorcycle going forward.

Correction: at minute 5:33, the table mentions "desmosedice" which is not correct. The valve train of the RS V4 is "desmodromic". The term "Desmosedice" is related to a specific 16V desmodromic valve train on certain V2 motorcycles.
