Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Multistrada 1200 S 2012

The agile behaviour tempts the pilot to a very ambitious pace, no disadvantage for the morning round on Sunday. On the trip to the North Cape with mum, however, it is relatively exhausting.

Excellent sound

sporty tuned movement

appropriate ergonomics

balanced seating position

sophisticated looks.

Windshield comes menacingly close when first mounted

wasteful use of electronics - difficult to understand.
