Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R 1250 RT 2023

The BMW R 1250 RT simply feels sovereign on the grand tour. We rode the 2020 model and are already thrilled with this version. The heavy motorbike is compact in the hand and wobbles through the bends with lightning speed. A great touring motorbike.

Superb wind and weather protection

Great boxer engine

Powerful power

Easy engine control

Well-designed controls

Great integrated panniers

High stability even at high speeds

Slightly cumbersome to manoeuvre

topcase lock presented itself as somewhat stiff

gearshifts somewhat stiff at low revs

Ducati Multistrada V4 S 2021

In the past, the exclusive dream motorbikes usually came from the class of sports bikes. But with the new Multistrada, Ducati delivers a real banger in the touring enduro league. The bike rides through the radii with playful ease. So you are perfectly capable of using the exuberant power every now and then. The great experience is garnished by the extensive electronics package, which sets the bar very high overall.

Great enduro feeling paired with smart elegance

great brakes

fascinating, impressively powerful engine

engine performance through terrific response

wonderfully controllable

pleasant seating position

practical ergonomics in every situation

fascinating radar system that is a pleasure to use in practice on the motorway

great wind protection

high stability even at high speeds

energy-saving and easy to ride

great handling.

High fuel consumption

high CO2 emissions

bulky operating concept

engine loves revs - not all riders in the touring enduro league like this.
