Taking place at the Ducati Malaysia PJ showroom, the 2021 Ducati Multistrada V4 and Multistrada V4S were officially launched, priced at RM135,900 and RM146,900, respectively. As Ducati’s first ever pair of V-four adventure-touring rigs, the Multistradas in base and ‘S’ form come loaded with technology designed to make riding easier, safer and more intuitive.

For the Multistrada V4S, Ducati introduces onboard Radar, combined with adaptive cruise control and blind spot detection, developed in conjunction with automotive electronics specialists Bosch. The radar system on the Multistrada V4S, which requires Malaysian Ducati dealers to invest in a radar calibration rig and having trained personnel, allows distance keeping while riding on cruise control, plus blind spot warning using the rear radar.

    Does anybody even buy luxury motorcycles in this country? Luxury and motorcycles don’t mix well here, bcuz of constant paranoia of getting hijacked.
