In numerous tests, the Multistrada had to hold its own against many opponents on extremely versatile terrain and was usually the fastest and overall best motorbike. Logically enough - it is also the most expensive motorbike in this class. The Ducati crew has poured all the high-quality ingredients into the motorbike that money can buy. These have been combined to create a harmonious overall package that rides incredibly well. A worthy winner of various comparative tests at a proud price.

BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2018

BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2018

As the most successful supplier of large-volume touring enduros, BMW has for years been highly successful in establishing the large R 1200 GS Adventure as the ultimate long-distance touring motorbike. Building on the driving dynamics and high off-road and touring competence of the conventional R 1200 GS, the Adventure represents the maximum solution for off-road touring riders. With its bulky fairing and 30-litre tank, the 125 hp engine has more to haul, but a high degree of agility is still maintained. Nothing is spared in terms of equipment, the big Adventure offers the full programme: ABS, ASC (Automatic Stability Control) and two riding modes "Rain" and "Road" are standard.
