Ducati Multistrada V2 S 2023

Ducati Multistrada V2 S 2023

The Ducati Multistrada V2 S impresses with its sporty DNA, state-of-the-art technology and agile riding performance. It is the first choice for dynamic riders who value performance and precision when travelling. Despite its lower weight, it impresses with its high stability and comprehensive electronics package. Minor weaknesses such as the limited comfort at lower speeds or the somewhat clunky quickshifter in tight hairpins hardly spoil the positive overall picture.

Versatile, semi-active suspension

well-modulated brakes

sporty yet comfortable riding position

well suited for smaller riders

extensive standard equipment comfortable for pillion riders

sporty, revvy engine with typical Ducati character

light weight of only 225 kg - ideal for sporty handling

extensive electronics package including cornering ABS, traction control and quickshifter

narrow waist, optimum ergonomics for smaller riders

Torque somewhat restrained at low revs

quickshifter not always liquid at low speeds

seat comfort on long lengths less pronounced than on touring-orientated competitors

Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX 2023

Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX 2023

A sports tourer of the old school. The Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX fulfils all the points you would expect from this bike category. Added to this is a comprehensive electronics package that offers everything you could wish for when travelling - and at no extra charge! The fact that the operation is perhaps not quite as intuitive as the competition already manages, is forgiven at the latest when you take a look at the price tag.
