Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Multistrada V2 S 2026

The numerous changes have paid off, the Ducati Multistrada V2 S in model year 2025 is better than ever! The rough behaviour at low revs is a thing of the past and the transmission now works much better. If you are looking for the ultimate compromise between sportiness and suitability for travelling, the "small" Multistrada is a damn good choice!

fun engine with manners on the bottom end

well-modulated front brake

great suspension

extremely light

incredible agility

exemplary stability

very good wind protection for the head

unsightly processing details

dosage of the rear brake not perfect

BMW F 900 XR 2026

A bike in this performance class probably couldn't be more accessible. The XR waggles playfully through the bends and immediately inspires confidence in the saddle. Even lengthy touring is easy and you always get out of the saddle feeling relaxed. However, the sporty look of the BMW also awakens a desire for some thrills. However, the engine cannot quite fulfil this desire. The engine, transmission and quickshifter are a little too tame overall and could do with a little more sportiness.

Clean engine reponsiveness

very easy to ride bike

cool looks, great display

good brakes

light handling

stable riding feel

great connectivity

high maximum lean angle

well-tuned ABS

easy to manoeuvre

reliable and practical Advanced Rider Assistance Systems such as lean angle ABS

moderate seat height and slim design for universal comfort

good value for money.

somewhat doughy transmission with tough quickshifter
