2027 Ducati Multistrada V4 Grand TourDucati has decided that configuring your own touring bike is simply too much work.There are motorcycles you buy and immediately start modifying, and then there's the new Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour. Ducati has essentially looked at the usual pre-road-trip shopping list, checked almost every box for you, and handed you the bill. That bill starts at $30,995, which is an objectively large pile of money for two wheels.But it's important to remember that the Grand Tour's entire reason for existing is that there isn't much left to add once it rolls out of the showroom.At its core is Ducati's 1,158cc V4 Granturismo, making 170 horsepower at 10,750 rpm and 91 pound-feet at 9,000 rpm. It also gets cylinder deactivation that can shut down the rear bank under certain riding conditions, not just while idling. More importantly for anyone actually planning to cross several state lines instead of circling their local Starbucks, valve-clearance inspections don't arrive until 37,000 miles. That's an unusually civilized number for something wearing a Ducati badge.2027 Ducati Multistrada V4 Grand TourA Rolling Tech ShowcaseThe 2027 Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak Gets Nothing But New Paint, And That's FineDucati Just Turned The Multistrada V4 Rally Into A Build-Your-Own Adventure BossBut horsepower isn't really the headline here. The Grand Tour comes standard with radar-assisted adaptive cruise control, blind-spot detection, forward-collision warning, tire-pressure monitoring, auxiliary LED lights, heated grips, heated rider and passenger seats, a center stand, and a hands-free fuel cap. Ducati also throws in color-matched side cases with about 16 gallons of combined storage, so there's enough room for an actual trip rather than one T-shirt and a toothbrush.The suspension gets equally ridiculous. Semi-active Marzocchi hardware offers 170mm of travel up front and 180mm at the rear, with automatic load leveling and electronic adjustment. The bike can also lower itself by up to 30mm when speeds fall below 6 miles per hour, then raise itself again once you're moving above 30 miles per hour. There's even an Easy Lift function that opens the suspension hydraulics to make hauling the thing upright from its side stand less of a morning workout.2027 Ducati Multistrada Grand Tour2027 Ducati Multistrada Grand TourPhotos by: DucatiThere's still plenty of traditional Multistrada hardware underneath all that electronic wizardry. You get a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheel setup, dual 330mm front brake discs with Brembo Stylema calipers, cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control, multiple riding and power modes, engine-brake adjustment, and a quick shifter. A 6.5-inch TFT handles the interface, including phone connectivity, music, and map-based navigation through smartphone mirroring.And that's really what makes the Grand Tour interesting. Ducati hasn't reinvented the Multistrada V4 here. It has taken an already ludicrously capable adventure-tourer and removed most of the excuses for opening the accessories catalog afterward. The result is basically the motorcycle equivalent of selecting "yes" repeatedly on the configurator until your credit card starts sweating.The Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour reaches North American dealerships in February 2027, available exclusively in its dedicated Grand Tour livery. At $30,995, calling it cheap would require some creative accounting. But if your idea of touring involves 170 horsepower, radar cruise, heated everything, semi-active suspension, luggage, and more electronics than you'll really ever need, Ducati has already done most of the packing for you.2027 Ducati Multistrada V4 Grand Tour2027 Ducati Multistrada V4 Grand Tour2027 Ducati Multistrada V4 Grand Tour2027 Ducati Multistrada V4 Grand Tour2027 Ducati Multistrada V4 Grand Tour2027 Ducati Multistrada Grand Tour2027 Ducati Multistrada Grand Tour2027 Ducati Multistrada Grand Tour2027 Ducati Multistrada Grand TourSource: Ducati
