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.

Travel instead of lawn

One may think this is a disappointment with the hearty off-road look (especially the version in khaki). But you can see it as it is meant: this is a fantastic travel machine with excellent equipment. For everything else, the Motorradtest.de team recommends an enduro of mobile.de for 1,000 euros, because it looks so coolly smashed.

A mid-range bike, which is not middle class. The Triumph Tiger has style. She is the Range Rover of the motorcycle world, and that's really a compliment.
