Yamaha Niken GT 2019

Yamaha Niken GT 2019

The new concept of the Niken GT enables incredibly fast and yet at the same time safe progress in all weather conditions, as if on rails, the front leads on narrow mountain passes as well as in faster radii. The Crossplane three-cylinder engine, already highly praised in the MT-09, has been perfectly adapted for the Niken GT with a little more flywheel mass and a shorter final gear ratio. Especially in the GT version, which is suitable for touring, the Niken can shine as an absolute all-rounder. To all interested parties: Don't be put off by the looks or the "three-wheeler image". Be sure to test ride!

Ducati Multistrada 950 2019

Ducati Multistrada 950 2019

The Multistrada 950 skilfully combines several Ducati models to create a superior touring enduro in the upper mid-range. The look is almost unchanged from the big Multistrada 1200 - which of course gives it enormous prestige. The 113 hp engine, on the other hand, comes from the Hypermotard series, and although the little Multi has to lug around 23 kilos more than its closest comparable relative, the Hyperstrada 939, it can still be ridden at a brisk pace. The fact that comfort is a top priority should not be a problem for a touring enduro, as it is equipped with a wide range of electronics and can do everything a modern touring bike should be able to do. If you are looking for that certain something in terms of looks and design, the Multistrada 950 will be very hard to pass up.
