Pros and Cons in comparison
Ducati Multistrada 1200 S 2015
The new Ducati Multistrada 1200 S is a thoroughly successful new edition of the extra-sporty touring enduro. The weaknesses of the predecessor were obviously analysed in detail and corrected: thanks to the DVT system, the engine now also works harmoniously in the lower rev range and the seating position is now also more suitable for comfort-oriented riders. The electronics have been massively upgraded; no other touring enduro is so comprehensively equipped. Starting with the many adjustable modes for power delivery and suspension, the brakes and cornering ABS are also of the highest standard. Although the "normal" Multisrtrada 1200 does without some electronic gimmicks, it is also cheaper and does not ride any worse overall.
Ducati Monster 1200 R 2016
The Ducati Monster 1200 R is a powerful naked bike for the road, with an excellent chassis, a harmonious and pleasantly rideable performance engine and helpful electronics that make it suitable for the occasional trip to the racetrack. Whether the R is worth the premium over the S is something everyone must decide for themselves.
