Best review I've seen on either the Multi 1200 S or the Enduro. Instead of simply regurgitating numbers he actually puts his spin on it and answers questions a lot of us have. Thank you.
I rode a 2019 1200s yesterday and loved it. My other bike is a 2009 BMW GS1200R. My back says the GS but my mind says 1200S. Great review. I also ride a lot of off-road on my KTM 500EXC. Jai Hanuman Ji
I've got the S and spent a day with the Enduro. My conclusion is similar to yours... for a primary on-road rider like me the S is the better choice. It's much closer to a sport touring bike than a true ADV bike. However, if you're skilled offroad and have the finances and desire to take a bike like the enduro offroad then it's BY FAR the better option. My S with it's road oriented tire diameters is very skittish on anything soft... it makes the bike a bit nervous offroad. (firm dirt however is fun on the S) The Enduro is really more of a GSA competitor and is far more comfortable on the soft stuff and very confidence inspiring. IMO Ducati has two different and equally excellent bikes with these two... ride them both (along with the great options from the likes of BMW, Aprillia, KTM, Yamaha, Triumph, etc...) and pick the bike that fits your adventure goals.
I have a feeling that people buying the Enduro will end up just like most R1200 GSA riders.. Basically using them as sport tourers instead of ADV machines :/
I agree... very few have pockets deep enough to take a big $25k bike offroad. When you're offroad things WILL get broken, and even minor drops (something that tends to happen with regularity on dirtbikes) will end up costing a lot of money.
Sir, I'm impressed by your review,could you please compare the multistrada enduro with BMW GS1200R Adventure and Triumph Tiger Explorer XCA.Getting confused to decide which one to buy this year. thanks,
The Enduro has a 870mm (34.25 inches) seat. It might be a little bit too high for you, considering it is a 260kg+ motorcycle (570+ lbs). The 1200S though is lighter and also has an adjustable seat height of 825mm-845mm (32.5-33.3 inches). If you don't plan on doing any serious off-roading and you'll be riding 80% on the street the street versions might be better options for you.
Overkill for india. Too expensive to own. Cant really take it out on touring, Hard to find 97 octane out on the road. Keeping locals away from damaging the bike itself is a worrisome ordeal. Tall saddle height not suited for the average indian height. Too big for our streets. 3000 point U-turns are a pain. There you go. A proper review. Also on a side note, hoping that manufacturers bring out light weight advs specifically designed for indian use.
Yes we have a term for the strom and versys... they're "Totally Adequate". It's both an insult and a confirmation of their basic credentials. They're not for the same buyers... intended for a different market segment from the European bikes.
Lol no. The 17 inch front, not fully adjustable suspension, the underside exhaust and the low ground clearance makes it a road bike. You can do some light off roading but on the first proper obstacle you'd be stuck.
NinjaKat --> It's an L-Twin because the cylinder configuration looks like an L . A horizontal cylinder, and a vertical cylinder... A V-Twin, is, well, just that... a cylinder configuration that 'looks' like a V.

YESS!! I've been debating between these two bikes for weeks now and finally someone has done what I couldn't! A direct comparison! Thank you so much!
How many people with the skill and the courage? My husband! 😍

That’s actually a great review, finally someone does there homework
Sir,

thanks,
kesari nandan K.S I second your thought..
kesari nandan K.S yes!
How about bomber fighter... I love the 8 gallon tank. I did not know about the shorter 6th gear though, I many have to have that changed out.
Shumi got his own multi for the video
Excellent review.
could there be a review comparing the Ducati 959 panigale and the MV Agusta f3 800 and which would be the better deal?

Pl do a review of new Ducati monster 797
Awesome.. 👍
Spot on
What is the seat height of the ducati multistrada enduro.. Because, iam just 5.7, Is it fit for me?
The Enduro has a 870mm (34.25 inches) seat. It might be a little bit too high for you, considering it is a 260kg+ motorcycle (570+ lbs).
The 1200S though is lighter and also has an adjustable seat height of 825mm-845mm (32.5-33.3 inches).
If you don't plan on doing any serious off-roading and you'll be riding 80% on the street the street versions might be better options for you.
NinjaKat ok bro. Thanks for ur valuable information. If the seat in enduro is adjustable or non adjustable?
More expensive in Indonesia. But worth to buy 😊
I'm a fighter too :D
My Kawasaki GTR1400 has VVT they made them from m 2009 onwards I think, so the Ducati isn’t the first with VVT!
Probably go with the S.

Versys 650 is sufficient enough for all puporpses..

get a ktm 450 or 500 or 300 for off road and actually have off road fun
0:19 L-Twin Dude...
90degree V-twin is a L-twin motor, normal V-twin usually have 60degree or so
Parla italiane
it's a L twin engine not V twin.
L twins are 90 degrees V twins..
It's just a "Ducati thing" to call them L twins because they like exclusivity
NinjaKat --> It's an L-Twin because the cylinder configuration looks like an L . A horizontal cylinder, and a vertical cylinder... A V-Twin, is, well, just that... a cylinder configuration that 'looks' like a V.
