Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Multistrada V2 S 2023

Ducati Multistrada V2 S 2023

The Ducati Multistrada V2 S impresses with its sporty DNA, state-of-the-art technology and agile riding performance. It is the first choice for dynamic riders who value performance and precision when travelling. Despite its lower weight, it impresses with its high stability and comprehensive electronics package. Minor weaknesses such as the limited comfort at lower speeds or the somewhat clunky quickshifter in tight hairpins hardly spoil the positive overall picture.

Versatile, semi-active suspension

well-modulated brakes

sporty yet comfortable riding position

well suited for smaller riders

extensive standard equipment comfortable for pillion riders

sporty, revvy engine with typical Ducati character

light weight of only 225 kg - ideal for sporty handling

extensive electronics package including cornering ABS, traction control and quickshifter

narrow waist, optimum ergonomics for smaller riders

Torque somewhat restrained at low revs

quickshifter not always liquid at low speeds

seat comfort on long lengths less pronounced than on touring-orientated competitors

KTM 790 Adventure 2020

KTM 790 Adventure 2020

In my eyes, the KTM is the sportiest of all mid-range touring enduros. If you are looking for a touring machine that is brutally nippy on road and off-road, you will find it here. At the same time, however, the chassis and engine offer sufficient comfort and good manners to keep the rider from going mad even on longer liaison stages.

Engine with manners AND character

Enormously high chassis stability

Brakes without reproach

Tremendous off-road capabilities

Low average consumption.

Unattractive surcharge policy

original seat not optimally shaped
