Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Multistrada V2 S 2022

The Ducati Multistrada V2 S is an extremely agile and at the same time comfortable touring motorbike that is unbelievably fun to ride at an angle, but also shines with comfort on the long haul. Thanks to lowered seat height, significantly shorter crotch curve and improved engine smoothness (at least for a Ducati), even smaller and less experienced people can enjoy this wonderful riding pleasure completely carefree. It is above all something for riders who like to take a sportier approach, but do not want to miss a certain comfort when touring.

Very agile engine from 6000 revs

versatile, semi-active chassis

brakes with good control

sporty yet comfortable seating position

well suited to smaller riders

extensive standard equipment

good wind protection with easy adjustment

comfortable for pillion rider.

Engine jerks at low revs

gearbox does not shift quite cleanly in the lower gears

quickshifter is not perfect

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2019

The epithet "Beast" is not completely out of the blue, the KTM is and remains a brutal naked bike - 177 hp from two pots with a combined displacement of 1301 cubic metres is nothing harmless. Nevertheless, it is surprisingly easy to control; the upright seating position combined with the good handling make it seem almost docile. Compared to its predecessor, it has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs more smoothly, the shift assistant brings calmness in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved in quality. But it still loves the wild chase more than high speed in long curves.

Provides a wonderful adrenaline rush

extensive configuration options

terrific brakes with cornering ABS

practical electronic features

great seating position

electronic features can be set very sporty and also deactivated

very good shift assistant

Precise stroke not always easy to hit

one of the most dangerous motorbikes for the driving licence on the market
