It's been ages since I rode a big Multistrada - when I've ridden them in the past I've always found them to be a bit top heavy for my liking - however this new 1260 Enduro feels unlike any other Multistrada I've ever ridden...stay tuned to find out more!

So, quick update on the test ride thing. I rode 136 miles to Crawley this afternoon where Will at P&H Motorcycles looked after me brilliantly. I took the Sand coloured Enduro 1260 out for nearly an hour and loved it. There is some heat coming off the V twin but the engine overall, and stability at motorway speeds, swung it for me. Now I just have to try and locate a new one in that colour scheme...

Great review TMF. I test rode this in Bangkok back to back with the BMW 850GS and S1000XR. As a tall chap I really appreciated the size and comfort of the Ducati and was very close to buying it. The quick shifter is easily the best on the market and made my Tracer GT's quick shift feel agricultural. The acceleration was also breath taking, but in the end I decided to go with the Tracer GT because in Thailand it was less than half the price of the Ducati! I haven't regretted the decision, the Tracer is a cracking bike and that triple is so damn good. That said, if only they had Tracer MT 10. I love that engine!

I work nights and commute from Medway towns to central London and back, 86 miles and it does it seamlessly. The only problem is remembering where all the speed cameras are🤔.

Great ride. I bought my Triumph Explorer 1200XC new in 2013 and I've been loving it ever since. The bikes keep getting better and better but haven't improved enough to make me consider upgrading yet. It would be a more difficult choice to make now but in 2013 it was easy. Very few of the bikes had cruise control back then and the BMW GS was under-powered. I live in Central Nevada, USA (3 hours from the nearest traffic signal) with lots of long straight roads so no cruise control is a deal breaker for me.

It's a big one; size, cc, bhp, height etc. I think, the one size smaller might be more suitable for me; I don't need that amount of power. I'm mostly a touring guy. Most magazine think that is the better bike of the two. If interested, I did a tour through Belgian Limburg. Fast forward to 1h 58 m and you'll see the smallest road Belgium has to offer.

I had a first Gen Multistrada GT and I know what you mean about being top heavy it was a nightmare particularly as I'm a singular hight to you. I went to test the last Enduro and didn't even take it out as I just didn't feel safe it was so tall and top heavy. I ended up with a low suspension GSA which even with a full tank felt like a 250 compared to my old Multi.

@mclarnonc2002 3 жыл бұрын

What makes the biggest difference during a test ride? As I have discovered today it’s not just the bike but the attitude of the sales staff. This morning I test rode an Africa Twin DCT ES for 90+ minutes. I was free to roam the motorways, A roads and B roads at will and could therefore explore, on my terms, what the bike could do and was mightily impressed. The sales chap, Grant at Thunder Road in Gloucester was great too and recognised that a 50 something like me is a serious customer and so I was treated with courtesy and respect. This afternoon I rode my KTM 1290 for over an hour to test ride a Ducati 1260 Enduro, to compare all three. However, as the bike was already registered (so what??) I was allowed a 25 min test ride, 5 mins on the motorway in heavy traffic and the remainder doing 30mph in 25+ degrees, following a Riders of Bridgewater member of staff through busy town traffic. When I got off the Ducati, best engine of the three, better brakes than the KTM, better seat, not intimidating for a 5’ 10 chap like me, but roasting hot from the V twin engine, I was made to wait 10 mins while the salesman sorted other customers. When he finally asked me what I thought I told him frankly I was disappointed and felt my time had been wasted. I refused the offer of following him onto the motorway on a second test ride as they had already lost me as a customer. I have asked the Ducati chaps at Abingdon for a test ride this Saturday; it can only be better. I had not wanted to believe the very critical things I have been reading on the Internet about the treatment you get at Harley Davison garages; today I was not treated as serious customer who wants a proper test ride before he parts with the best part of £20K. I wouldn’t buy a baseball cap from Riders of Bridgewater based on my experience today.

Thanks TMF good review, the new 1260 Enduro looks to be much less top heavy than the previous 1200 Enduro which I have in Australia which when the 30 litre fuel tank if full quite twitchy when riding in slow moving town traffic. It’s expensive but less than the BMW GSA plus I prefer the engine in the Ducati would make a fantastic long distance tourer but not that practical for daily commuting, prefer the KTM Super Duke GT as it’s much more practical but admittedly not as comfortable.

Thanks for the great review, TMF. As previous commenters have mentioned, one of the things that I notice is rarely mentioned in reviews of this type, where a bike is being compared to a GS/GSA is chain vs. shaft drive. For me, personally, the competitor to the BMW would have to have a feature set head and shoulders above to make me want to put up with the drudgery of cleaning and lubricating a chain every 600 miles.

@marcr660907 5 жыл бұрын

Um, I have to disagree with the older Multi’s being ‘top heavy’, and the new ones have a similar feel to the previous generation in that regard, unless it was the previous Enduro model.The older engines are also much livelier, I suspect the new ones suffer from emissions control restrictions. The newer bikes have better fueling, especially at lower revs, and a better rear brake (believe it or not) I would take the GS Adv over the Enduro, but would choose the standard Multi S over the GS. Finally, Ducati’s should be Red. Thanks for the video TMF, very enjoyable.

Great review! I've been thinking about buying an additional bike (second hand) for my commute as I'm changing jobs and its a little bit further away than what I'm used to. The Multi 1200+ (I'm not even considering the 950!) has been on the radar for several of the reasons you mentioned, but the main one is PRICE! They aren't that much more expensive than a new/used V-Strom 1100 or a used R-GS (or even a baby BMW GS like the 750), and I love my current Monster 1100 engine and the grunt it gives. I think I'll stick with Ducati! Also, I think I'd go for the red as well, LOL!

I think that’s an awesome deal and after weeks of research and 2 test rides I’m of the opinion it’s better than my KTM on road for really big miles, it’s much more exciting than the AT DCT ES (an incredible bike with superb tech) and, though I’ve had 3 BMWs in the past (RT1200, RT1250, K1200 LT), just prefer the thrill and glamour the Ducati 1260 Enduro has alongside its road presence and engineering to rival its peers.

Rode 6 different Ducatis that day and the only one I enjoyed the engine on was the V4 Panigale. Looking forward to the new Multistrada V4 that's coming in a year or two, that will be my dream bike!

Something this big , can never really be classed as off road, on wet mud or snow or nipping between tight bushes ain’t gonna happen , your gonna end up on your arse , endurance and lots of miles as far as I’m concerned is all these are good for, guess that’s why the Enfield Himalayan is so popular amongst people who really do go round the world , but as usual great review Mr Flyer Shane uk 🇬🇧

Thanks for the review, brilliant as always. The MS looks very nice, but is it state of the art ? Besides the instrument display and the "rubbish" two-pot back brake I don't like the front indicators integrated into the hand guards. Typical crash parts even with a little drop on the parking and I'm sure they're not only quite expensive but you'll wait ages to get them replaced (standard mail from Borgo Panigale😉).

Darrell Pistone Yup. I put a set of Barkbusters on my ‘19 1260S (a simple 30 minute installation) and they’ve added some needed protection around the hand guards. At first they looked a little too utilitarian against the factory lines, but after just a few days I don’t really notice them.

Great review and Ducati are certianly getting there with the new Multistrada which looks impressive. Its the default brand for one of the best sportsbikes in the world but the GS/A seems to be the yard stick for adventure bikes...Both are getting expensive and the Multistrada may be a better comparison to an S1000XR ? Have you seen the Motto Guzzi V85TT yet ? Looks very interesting at a very good price...

The Italians sure knows how to design bikes. Not only the Multistrada, but the 1100 scrambler and the Panigale....are beauties!!! If I was no GS fan AND I would spend my hard earned cash, I probably go for the new 950s. The 1260's are way too expensive, I believe even more than the Germans and Austrians. On the other hand the Tracer 900 is even cheaper than the 950...

@matsrekdal3065 5 жыл бұрын

Testrode the Multi 950s last week, just for fun, to compare it to my 1250 GSA. 🙂 A lot of bike for the buck, but i am afraid it will not replace the beemer. Of course, the 950 has got a smaller engine, not comparable to the GS really. Also, there is a lot more vibrations going on. Some may like it, personally i prefer the smoothness of the GS. And as you mention, the suspension is on the stiffer side, but not too bad. The KTM 1290 SA is even stiffer. Every time i ride another bike, it reminds me how much i really enjoy the comfort / smoothness of the GS' suspension and engine. Not to mention the ergonomics... To turn on the heated grips on the GS, you just tap the switch with your finger, without loosening or changing the grip of your hand. The heated grips switch on the Multi has a similar location, except it's further away from your fingers. The distance forces you to loosen your grip in order to reach it. Small things, yes, but still something that caught my attention. Same thing with the ride modes, the GS has a separate switch to change them, on the Multi you have to enter a menu, scroll and confirm. Not as easy as on the BMW, and the switch is placed very close to the cruise control, which makes it easy to hit the wrong button. And as you mention, the TFT on the GS is just in another league. 😍 Riding the GS makes me think: They've been making this bike for 40 years, and yeah, it feels like it. I can't say that about the Multi (or the KTM).

@TheMissendenFlyer 5 жыл бұрын

You're talking to a GS fan here so I'm not going to argue! That said this version of the Multistrada is by far the best I've ridden so far and is a serious contender for me now the top heaviness has been addressed...

The paint on the Ducati is truly unique, it feels like Rhino-lining. “Rhino-lining is a truck bed application” that you can get for your Pick-Up truck. Really nice looking bike, just very expensive, more so than a comparable GSA. The Windscreen looks funky as well.

how did you manage to seat on it on a red light and not fall to the side? It has a quite high seat, definitely not for shorties. It is also equipped with quickshifter up and down, use it, it works pretty well.
