Ducati Multistrada 1200 2017

The diva from Bologna is no longer a diva at all - the Ducati Mulitstrada 1200 behaves exactly as you would expect from a touring enduro. The predecessor was already agile, but the current Multi now also impresses with smooth manners in all speed ranges. This could seem almost boring to true fans of the old Mulitstrada, but makes it more usable overall. In tight corners, it needs a little more pressure than the competition, but it also draws a nice line and in hairpin bends, thanks to the DVT system, the now predictable attack from far below is very beneficial. When the bends get wider, the Multistrada 1200 draws on the full power of its 160 hp in the upper rev range, which only a few competitors can keep up with. The seating position has also been eased compared to its predecessor, and the rider now sits much more comfortably in front of the wide handlebars.

The ZX-10R Ninja has a certain majesty, at the first rollout it seems very stable, you have to force it into the radius a little. After a few laps, however, this effect is transformed into an incredible precision that allows a pinpoint line. The engine has now really become noticeably stronger and makes the Kawa an enormously good overall package that can please not only die-hard Kawasaki fans. The traction control on the Kawa is particularly positive and regulates very sensitively. You can even adjust the engine brake - so it certainly doesn't lack for electronic features. The ZX-10R is the only superbike that is already Euro4-compliant in 2016!
