Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Multistrada 1200 S 2013

The Multistrada requires a willingness to compromise, which is often compensated for by the wonderful performance from the 150 hp engine and the exclusive flair that a Ducati spreads. If you are looking for a comfortable sedan for thousands of kilometres on American highways, you should leave the Ducati Multistrada 1200 S alone.

Brutal power delivery - but with adjustment options

inimitable sound

efficient cornering.

Uneven bagging at very low revs - interesting in tight corners

weak rear brake.

Yamaha MT-09 SP 2024

The Yamaha MT-09 SP already had it easy in the previous generation, as it is the even more refined version of an already really good, because wonderfully agile fun machine! The current SP version is no different, but it has been improved even further. A little more power, increased torque and better-tuned electronics make it even more fun. As expected, the suspension with classier KYB and Öhlins components works excellently, the brakes could be a little sharper, but the seating position is still what you would expect from such an agile and easily controllable fun machine. The few quirks like the small TFT display or the controversial light mask in no way make it worse, but simply an even more independent personality!

Extremely agile and powerful engine
