Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Multistrada 1200 2012

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

BMW R 1200 GS 2012

Either it was a stroke of luck or the best developers were at work - handlebars, geometry, seat, knee angle, footrests - it just fits really well for the majority of Central Europeans. All in all, there is still no motorbike that can kill the GS.

Optimal wind protection

comfortable seat

good posture

positive ergonomics

weather robust

quiet chassis.

Seat a little too low.
