Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda VFR1200X Crosstourer 2013

It's not for people crossing Africa, but it is for people crossing Europe. Great travelling comfort - a mixture of tourer and touring enduro. The engine drives it like the brochure promises "V4 with 1200 cc" - actually wasteful.

Powerful four-cylinder engine

innovative looks

pleasant driving experience

fascinating technology

high performance.

Large overall weight

irritating concept

somewhat boring design.

Ducati Multistrada 1200 2014

In any case, it is now the turn of the accessory manufacturers. Because the Ducati Multistrada sold magnificently and there are enough individualists out there who would like to build their own personal Multi. We are already looking forward to a wide range of products.

Comfort

speed

integrated electronics

acceptable braking deceleration.

Spongy rear brake
