Ducati Multistrada V4 S 2023

The Multistrada has already had to hold its own against many opponents in numerous tests on extremely varied terrain and was usually the fastest and overall best motorbike. The recipe for success: suitability for travelling with countless comfort features combined with a level of sportiness and riding performance that is second to none. The Ducati engineers have 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.

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin 2022

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin 2022

For me, the Africa Twin is a touring enduro as a touring enduro should be. This was already true of the predecessor model and did not change with the increase in displacement and power. Because the latter remained manageable at 102 hp, and Honda even managed to shed a few kilos compared to the CRF1000L. So it remained versatile, functioning just as well on the motorway as off-road. The chassis absorbs almost all bumps, the engine remains sovereign in every situation, ergonomics and seating comfort are exemplary. A motorbike for all days as well as for the big trip - wherever that may be.
