Pros and Cons in comparison
Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 2021
The Pan America 1250 is Harley-Davidson's first attempt in the segment of large touring enduros and it has definitely succeeded! Apart from a few, rather negligible flaws, the Pan America 1250 Special is an all-round good adventure bike that even pleases with its off-road qualities. The Revolution Max V2 engine has a sporty character, placing it perfectly in the luxury enduro bike class. With innovative features such as the Adaptive Ride Height System, the Americans could even manage to acquire a larger number of new customers for whom the usual suspects in the big enduro bike segment are all too high.
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.
