BMW R 1200 GS (K50) versus Ducati Hyperstrada 939

Conclusion - is the compromise successful?

Yes. In fact, the compromise succeeds in making one of the most nimble motorcycles a touring motorcycle without limiting its core competencies. The second part of the movement, however, is the far more important one, because the hyperstrada is by no means to be confused with a tourer. Despite the disc, the wind shield is severely restricted, the top speed of 220 km/h is pure theory. You can do it, but after a short time the ideal cruising speed changes at 130 km/h. The path here is not the destination, but the reasonably well survived test to the next mountain pass.
The Hyperstrada is an everyday fun bike, with which you can stay away from home longer and get a murder fun.
She is a Ducati through and through. On the positive side, the faster it goes, the better the Ducati will work. But especially then. If you are looking for a motorbike for the comfortable lap in between, you should make an enamoured dealer of another brand.
Negatively, the burden and dignity of being a real Ducati means a quality of workmanship that can only be called below average and some incomprehensible decisions. So the suitcases are not waterproof. Ducati knows this, and attaches two waterproof bags, which works, but is just a fumble.
Ducati has been owned by Audi's quality fanatics since 2012. Dear Audianer: Don't you even want to go to Italy for a short time? It's nice to be there, and by the way, you could make sure that screws don't rust after two years (!), that the plastic at the rear and the display (see picture gallery) are not faded out and slowly become blunt. The rear brake may not work permanently for some inexplicable reason - every two months it goes to the dealer, who then has to vent again.

Thank you. Would help me a lot.
