Ducati Multistrada 1200 Enduro 2016
Anyone who has always been annoyed that the Ducati Multistrada 1200 is so much, not to say only, designed for on-road use without any off-road ambitions can now finally breathe a sigh of relief - the Multistrada 1200 Enduro actually cuts a good figure off-road. Longer suspension travel, a higher handlebar, twin-sided swingarm and fine-tuning of the electronics allow the bike to take on rougher terrain despite weighing 254 kilos ready to ride. The huge 30-litre tank also allows a range of up to 450 kilometres - good conditions for a round-the-world trip. What is particularly surprising and pleasing is that such a universal talent does not necessarily have to look clunky and rugged, but can be as pretty as the Mulitstrada 1200 Enduro.
BMW R 1250 GS Adventure 2022
The big GS Adventure is and remains a great motorbike for any terrain - even for tight corners. The low centre of gravity of the boxer engine, the longitudinally mounted crankshaft, the upright seating position and the powerful but easily controllable torque from far below are simply a force. Although the Adventure version has a higher seat with more weight, which is a decisive hindrance when turning or manoeuvring, in terms of performance the engine also has so much punch in the big GS Adventure that you can let it rip. The BMW's braking system is stable and excellently controllable, and the equipment and electronics can be upgraded considerably - as long as you tick the boxes on the order list. Of course, this pushes up the price, but the many fans of the fat GS Adventure obviously don't mind.
