Pros and Cons in comparison
Honda VFR800X Crossrunner 2011
An optimal balance between handling and stability is a science in itself. With this motorbike, this balance has been achieved very well. So it's not tippy, but it's manageable enough. This gives confidence and makes even experienced riders fast.
Ducati Multistrada 1200 S 2015
The new Ducati Multistrada 1200 S is a thoroughly successful new edition of the extra-sporty touring enduro. The weaknesses of the predecessor were obviously analysed in detail and corrected: thanks to the DVT system, the engine now also works harmoniously in the lower rev range and the seating position is now also more suitable for comfort-oriented riders. The electronics have been massively upgraded; no other touring enduro is so comprehensively equipped. Starting with the many adjustable modes for power delivery and suspension, the brakes and cornering ABS are also of the highest standard. Although the "normal" Multisrtrada 1200 does without some electronic gimmicks, it is also cheaper and does not ride any worse overall.
