Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 390 Adventure 2023

The small 390 Adventurr can be seen as an absolute all-rounder in its class and a real value-for-money winner. The high-quality electronics package and the powerful single-cylinder make it a pure fun machine that does not overtax inexperienced on- and off-road riders, but supports them. The sporty but comfortable seating position and the decent wind protection make even longer tours possible. No matter what surface you ride it on, the 390 Adventure is a lot of fun - but most of all in tight corners!

Powerful engine

adjustable chassis

good wind protection

top price-performance ratio

high-quality electronics package including lean angle-dependent traction control and cornering ABS

optional Quickshifter+

A little too compact for tall pilots

Ducati Multistrada V2 S 2025

The numerous changes have paid off, the Ducati Multistrada V2 S in model year 2025 is better than ever! The rough behaviour at low revs is a thing of the past and the transmission now works much better. If you are looking for the ultimate compromise between sportiness and suitability for travelling, the "small" Multistrada is a damn good choice!

fun engine with manners on the bottom end

well-modulated front brake

great suspension
