Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 1290 Super Duke GT 2016

With generous standard equipment, a retuned engine and unmistakably edgy KTM design, the 1290 Super Duke GT aims to enter the sport touring segment. With rideable performance and the full power of the naked bike in the spirit of the "Ready-to-Race" credo, it stands out from the competition not only visually. The mattighofen sports fanatics even fit heated grips and cruise control to offer frequent riders a nice spot. Somehow they still manage to remain credible and to trigger storms of enthusiasm in the rider.

extensive standard equipment

sensational engine

unique design

uncomplicated pannier system

Poor wind protection

manual windshield adjustment

quite high fuel consumption

Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak 2023

Are you looking for a long-distance adventure bike with that certain extra sportiness? Then the Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak is just right for you! Slightly sportier ergonomics than its sisters, a chic single swing arm at the rear, some war paint with Pecco Bagnaia's number 1 and, above all, the smaller 17 inch tyres and the electronic Öhlins suspension ensure great handling. Nothing had to be changed to the charismatic 170 Horsepower V4 and the formidable Brembo Stylema stoppers - sporty enough for bold attacks on country roads and race tracks, suitable for everyday use on typical adventure bike tours. In other words, a perfect love affair, which is only spoilt by the high price or, unfortunately, probably prevented in most cases.
