Ducati Multistrada 1200 vs BMW R 1200 GS

‘The Multistrada is the bike to own if speed is your thing, for performance runs riot through its Italian veins’

Trust Ducati to make even and adventure-tourer look exotic.

Stick it in "Sports" mode and the Multistrada can stitch up corners effortlessly.

Relatively slower in the twisties, an R 1200 GS isnt quite as sporty as a Ducati.

You can make a big splash astride this duo as few Indian bikes, if any, will dare to go where these can.

GS comes with clear to read clocks.

Cushy riding saddle offers ample support.

Switches deliver a solid, precised feel.

Ducati's Multistrada is tall, well built and raring to take down every challenger on the block.
