Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 1090 Adventure 2017
The KTM 1090 Adventure is a huge step away from its predecessor, the 1050 Adventure, towards its bigger sisters. The electronics package with adjustable riding modes, traction control and ABS remains at the already high level, but the engine now has 125 hp, around a third (!) more than the 1050. Almost more importantly, it can now rev freely to over 10,000 rpm and thus offers a more usable rev band. You will hardly find a more balanced bike in the class of still reasonably priced large touring enduros.
Ducati Multistrada 950 2017
The Multistrada 950 skilfully combines several Ducati models to create a superior touring enduro in the upper mid-range. The look is almost unchanged from the big Multistrada 1200 - which of course gives it enormous prestige. The 113 hp engine, on the other hand, comes from the Hypermotard series, and although the little Multi has to lug around 23 kilos more than its closest comparable relative, the Hyperstrada 939, it can still be ridden at a brisk pace. The fact that comfort is a top priority should not be a problem for a touring enduro, as it is equipped with a wide range of electronics and can do everything a modern touring bike should be able to do. If you are looking for that certain something in terms of looks and design, the Multistrada 950 will be very hard to pass up.
