After a hectic handful of weeks, I sincerely hope today is my last press launch for 2021 – my Delta SkyMiles status is doing just fine for the next two years.<\/p>\n
But, don’t take that as a complaint, as this edition of \u201cGone Riding\u201d<\/a> sees us getting ready to ride the new Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak<\/a> adventure-sport, which brings the 17″ wheelset back to this popular ADV machine.<\/p>\n The launch is taking place in Palm Springs, California – but this sunny SoCal getaway has a bit of rain on the forecast for our street ride today. Even so, I don’t think that will stop us from seeing if this 167hp beast can do the business.<\/p>\n Of course, the question on everyone’s mind will be whether the paint and goodies on the Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak is worth the $29,000 price tag, which is more than a $3,000 premium over the Multistrada V4 S model.<\/p>\n
