Ducati Multistrada 1200 2017
The diva from Bologna is no longer a diva at all - the Ducati Mulitstrada 1200 behaves exactly as you would expect from a touring enduro. The predecessor was already agile, but the current Multi now also impresses with smooth manners in all speed ranges. This could seem almost boring to true fans of the old Mulitstrada, but makes it more usable overall. In tight corners, it needs a little more pressure than the competition, but it also draws a nice line and in hairpin bends, thanks to the DVT system, the now predictable attack from far below is very beneficial. When the bends get wider, the Multistrada 1200 draws on the full power of its 160 hp in the upper rev range, which only a few competitors can keep up with. The seating position has also been eased compared to its predecessor, and the rider now sits much more comfortably in front of the wide handlebars.
Suzuki V-Strom 1050 XT 2020
Even though the new V-Strom 1050 has moved up in price to a league in which it has to be compared more with the competition than before, it has remained true to itself despite the most modern safety features, or rather, it has remained an uncomplicated motorbike that is ready for the big journey. Its favourite terrain is the road, which, thanks to the good chassis, can also be bad and bumpy. Off-road passages are no problem either, but those who regularly seek rougher terrain will be less likely to end up with the Suzuki due to its mighty weight. On paved roads, however, the mass can be moved surprisingly quickly and effortlessly. The addictive engine, the successful retro design and the extreme suitability for touring make the Suzuki V-Strom 1050 XT a top motorbike for long journeys.
