Ducati Multistrada V2 versus Honda CRF 1100 L Africa Twin Adventure Sports

Result

Thanks to the weight savings, the new Multistrada V2 is significantly improved compared to its predecessor in terms of drivability and also in terms of technical equipment. The price is justified in view of the abundant technical helpers and the installed components - even compared to the competition. Ducati calls the new Multi V2 a cross-over - and that's what it is, but it's also very suitable for the really long journey, so it's also a real adventure bike somewhere.
 
The test bike was kindly provided to us by Bergmann & Söhne in Bremervörde . By the way, both a V2S and a V2 are available there as a demonstrator for test drives. So you can compare the difference in suspension directly - if you find one, please write to us.

Result

The new Africa Twin is a strong piece of motorcycle! The Adventure Sports has been trimmed even more for road and is now one of the ultimate adventure bikes for the trip to the North Cape. It is technically fully equipped and, apart from the performance, clearly belongs to the upper class. The only points of criticism are the fiddly operation and the somewhat heavy weight, which many competitors also have to struggle with. Otherwise, a super cool machine with majestic charisma and just as much riding feeling - terrific!
 
The test bike was once again provided to us by motofun (www.motofun.de) from Kaltenkirchen north of Hamburg. There, Adventure Sports and Standard AT will be available as demonstrators. Test drives there in the Schmalfeld curves are a real pleasure - let's go to motofun and salute the boss Nico!
