Ducati Multistrada V2 S 2026

Ducati Multistrada V2 S 2026

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

extremely light

incredible agility

exemplary stability

very good wind protection for the head

unsightly processing details

dosage of the rear brake not perfect

Kawasaki Z900 RS 2022

The Z900 RS enjoys a large fan base and in 2022 it once again proves why it is so popular. The powerful engine scores with pulling power and a wonderful sound that is not too obtrusive. The handling feels natural and presents no challenges. Only a quickshifter would suit the bike - even if that doesn't quite fit the retro idea.
