Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-S1000GX 2024

The Suzuki GSX-S1000GX does a damn good job as a crossover bike. The range of possible uses is huge. You feel equally comfortable in the saddle when riding in a sporty style and when travelling comfortably. A very practical bike with which you can have a lot of fun and enjoy touring long distances.

insanely good engine

great reponsiveness, great torque curve

Very good integration of the quickshifter including perfect shifting

Very high-quality overall impression - the bike is very reliable

Very stable riding performance in all situations

Good electronic suspension enables a very wide range of use

The bike looks authentic both as a comfortable touring machine and as an aggressive sports bike

Pleasant seating comfort

Accessible and logical operation of the electronics

Very harmonious riding performance

Hardly any vibrations and no disturbing noises - the bike presents itself very confidently

automatic mode of the suspension adapts optimally to different road conditions

The maximum payload is 198kg. For a touring motorbike, this is a little too tight

The extensive standard equipment in this price range lacks a centre stand and heated grips Integration of sat nav is cumbersome - no suitable mounting point available, standard software not a fully-fledged solution

Standard tyres seem unwieldy and spoil the great impression

Windscreen can only be adjusted with tools

Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak 2023

Are you looking for a long-distance adventure bike with that certain extra sportiness? Then the Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak is just right for you! Slightly sportier ergonomics than its sisters, a chic single swing arm at the rear, some war paint with Pecco Bagnaia's number 1 and, above all, the smaller 17 inch tyres and the electronic Öhlins suspension ensure great handling. Nothing had to be changed to the charismatic 170 Horsepower V4 and the formidable Brembo Stylema stoppers - sporty enough for bold attacks on country roads and race tracks, suitable for everyday use on typical adventure bike tours. In other words, a perfect love affair, which is only spoilt by the high price or, unfortunately, probably prevented in most cases.

Great, charismatic V4 engine

super Brembo Stylema brakes

sporty but long-distance-capable ergonomics

agile handling

full electronics package

electronic Öhlins suspension

lots of prestige
