Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R nineT 2016

BMW R nineT 2016

With the RnineT, BMW has created a monument to itself and the boxer that has made it into many garages around the world. The R nineT is a best-seller thanks to its successful overall concept and has served numerous customisers as the basis for a wide range of conversions. Compared to a Thruxton, however, the BMW does not appear authentic in all details, and on the poor road surfaces in the Alps, the suspension may be tuned too hard or the exhaust may be too loud in the long run.

strong brakes

unique look

rich sound

Ducati Monster 1200 S 2016

Ducati Monster 1200 S 2016

Ducati returns to consistency and brings out more of the classic character of the Monster, while the design has been sharpened in small steps: Shorter tail, shorter wheelbase, smaller tank. The engine has become cleaner and more powerful at the same time, the electronics more comprehensive. In addition to ABS and TC, the Monster also has wheelie control, and the S version even has cornering ABS. The standard quickshifter underlines the sportiness of the Monster, which could be more aggressive in its power delivery. On the other hand, these 150 hp can be ridden by a very wide range of customers.

Top chassis hardware

timeless design

strong brakes, intuitive menu navigation

automatic gearshift as standard
