Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Multistrada V4 S 2021

In the past, the exclusive dream motorbikes usually came from the class of sports bikes. But with the new Multistrada, Ducati delivers a real banger in the touring enduro league. The bike rides through the radii with playful ease. So you are perfectly capable of using the exuberant power every now and then. The great experience is garnished by the extensive electronics package, which sets the bar very high overall.

Great enduro feeling paired with smart elegance

great brakes

fascinating, impressively powerful engine

engine performance through terrific response

wonderfully controllable

pleasant seating position

practical ergonomics in every situation

fascinating radar system that is a pleasure to use in practice on the motorway

great wind protection

high stability even at high speeds

energy-saving and easy to ride

great handling.

High fuel consumption

high CO2 emissions

bulky operating concept

engine loves revs - not all riders in the touring enduro league like this.

KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2023

The R variant of the 1290 Super Adventure is one of the most luxurious options for long tours that don't end on paved roads. Plenty of power is available at all times and the rally look immediately evokes wanderlust. The WP suspension can cope with almost any conceivable surface, but it has to be adjusted manually and you also have to do without the distance cruise control.

Very sporty, but also cultivated V2 power plant

extremely playful handling despite high weight

driving-friendly seating position

good brakes including cornering ABS

comprehensive electronics package

clear, well-structured instruments with huge 7-inch display.

Gearshift assistant at extra cost

higher price than for the S despite fewer features
