Superbike for everyday use

What's stuck? The Multistrada is a capped superbike that is suitable for everyday use, allows long tours at a time, is fast and also ensures the passenger a comfortable livelihood.

It offers almost the same riding performance as a superbike, the same stability when it needs to go faster and packs a wendigkeit. It is the superbike for the rider, who no longer wants to edge on the motorcycle, but may enjoy the upright posture.
With her whole facility she enjoyed Dietmar and me a lot.

For everyone else, think about it well. If you don't want to be constantly challenged, who enjoys the peace, who gets the constant roar ingenuity on your nerves, who wants to cruise first – let it stay.

The test bike was provided to us by Ducati Hamburg.

The AT remains true to itself

Which question you should seriously ask yourself: Yes, the normal chassis has been good for Honda. It's fully adjustable - but do you really do that? The electronic chassis of the Africa Twin Sports Adventure is an advantage: it can be fine-tuned while driving. This extra makes sense even for desert kings.

One last lap around the bike. It has remained good, and has also improved. Surgery succeeded. The Honda AT has remained true to itself: it still manages to convince the great feat with the overall concept without outstanding individual achievements. However, if you don't need the big cutlery with all the drums and drums, you don't have to change trains, but can continue the pre-model.

There is still so much to experience.

The test bike was provided to us by Motofun (Kaltenkirchen near Hamburg).
