Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Multistrada V4 S 2022

In numerous tests, the Multistrada had to hold its own against many opponents on extremely versatile terrain and was usually the fastest and overall best motorbike. Logically enough - it is also the most expensive motorbike in this class. The Ducati crew has poured all the high-quality ingredients into the motorbike that money can buy. These have been combined to create a harmonious overall package that rides incredibly well. A worthy winner of various comparative tests at a proud price.

Incredibly great handling - neutral, harmonious, easy to handle but still stable

Real enduro feeling in the saddle

Great brakes

Fascinating, impressively powerful engine

Engine power is wonderfully controllable thanks to great response behaviour

Comfortable seating position

Good ergonomics even when standing up

Fascinating radar system, which you like to use in practice on the motorway

Great wind protection

High stability even at high speeds

Power-saving and easy to ride

Above-average consumption

mobile phone connectivity not really thought through to the end

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT 2023

The Africa twin cylinder is an adventure bike as an adventure bike should be. The suspension absorbs pretty much all bumps, the engine remains confident in every situation and the ergonomics and seating comfort are exemplary. A bike for every day as well as for the big journey - wherever that may take you.

High-torque engine

sophisticated electronic driving aids

wonderfully functioning DCT (optional)

colour touch-screen display

good ergonomics

Suitability for long journeys

Great Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration

Windscreen adjustment somewhat impractical

Operating concept of the electronics not very clear and intuitive

Windscreen and wind protection not perfect - head turbulence occurs at higher travelling speeds

The engine is too unspectacular for sporty riders
