Pros and Cons in comparison
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.
KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2018
The 1290 Super Adventure R is supposed to be the new off-road flagship of the KTM Adventure range - and it is! It's amazing how easy it is to move 240 kilos off-road with a full tank. The off-road mode is also largely convincing. On the other hand, as on the 1290 Super Adventure S, the full 160 hp and 140 Newton metres of torque as well as all comfort features (apart from the electronically adjustable suspension) are available on the R version: Four performance modes (Sport, Street, Rain and Offroad), cornering ABS, traction control, cruise control, keyless race-on system and the mobile phone management "My Ride". This means that the KTM 1290 Super Adventure R actually combines four motorbikes in one - and thus justifies the proud price.
