In its brochures, Ducati often speaks of "4 bikes in one motorbike", but this is a slight understatement. These 4 riding modes can be freely configured. The rider then has a little night reading in front of him in the form of the manual, but can actually adapt each mode to his preferences in terms of chassis, engine, ABS and DTC.

Simple chassis

good handling

traction control

ABS

very powerful

comfortable

efficient wind protection.

Small luggage compartment

idle speed sensor not working accurately.

Either it was a stroke of luck or the best developers were at work - handlebars, geometry, seat, knee angle, footrests - it just fits really well for the majority of Central Europeans. All in all, there is still no motorbike that can kill the GS.

Optimal wind protection

comfortable seat

good posture

positive ergonomics

weather robust

quiet chassis.

Seat a little too low.
