Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW S 1000 R 2018

BMW S 1000 R 2018

The BMW S 1000 R impresses across the board and is much more than just a naked version of the S 1000 RR. With its own character, more torque in the mid-range and first-class electronics, it sets new standards in the high-performance Naked segment. The overall package of brutal performance, excellent suspension and practical everyday use makes it one of the best naked bikes ever - and at a surprisingly fair price.

Brutal performance with 160 Horsepower

Outstanding DDC suspension

Amazing stability at high speeds for a naked bike

Perfect electronics with sensitive DTC

Good price/performance ratio

Character despite perfection

Driving mode display font too small

Too extreme appearance for BMW traditionalists

Without equipment packages, important electronic features are missing

The price advantage is lost with full features

Ducati Multistrada 1200 S 2012

The agile behaviour tempts the pilot to a very ambitious pace, no disadvantage for the morning round on Sunday. On the trip to the North Cape with mum, however, it is relatively exhausting.

Excellent sound

sporty tuned movement

appropriate ergonomics

balanced seating position

sophisticated looks.

Windshield comes menacingly close when first mounted

wasteful use of electronics - difficult to understand.
