Thx! Great Video! I ve got the "old" One, fantastic Bike either way! Good Job Italy Guys! Greetings from Germany!

I love big Adv bikes, and the weight cut and the gearing changes sound like excellent changes!

Great review. Spot on re style and info. Keep em coming.

Great review John. I think that the enduro is class although I myself have the 950 which is a really basic enduro but still a class bike

A brilliant review, fast-paced between essential topics. I was looking at the BMW 1250 GS Adventure but this has seriously made me consider the Ducati ))

Bought '20 model in red/black. Happy as hell

Pick mine up next thursday cant wait. Iv been commuting on a Tuono v4 1100 factory for the last 2 years and as much as i love the bike, at almost 6.4 im absolutely warn out by the time i reach my destination as it takes in a lot of dual carriageway and motorway, so thought it was about time i got something that will fit a little better. Iv also gone for the sand colour, think in the flesh it reall suits the bike. Love the riviews by the way.

Again brilliant review John. Thoroughly interesting and i don't even like adventure bikes... Give me the Desert Sled any day of the week. Lighter simpler, air cooled, no electronics and looks like a real bike instead of a transformer.

"charlie and that guy on star wars" lol

9:21 though!

Solid review. Went with the 950s myself. Better balance overall.

254 KG fully fueled for the Ducati Multistrada 1260 Enduro, compared to BMW R 1200 GS Adventure is 263 kg !!! unladen weight, fully fueled. Both bikes with 30 L fuel tanks, 9 KG more on BMW GS.

Owning the the original Enduro my only criticism I have of the bike is that its top heavy. However, I tried all the other big adventure bikes within this genre and non of them can put a smile on my face like the Ducati Multistrada Enduro can. Like everything in life it’s subjective in what you like and what you think an item is worth but this bike is a complete all rounder that can be all things to all riders✌️🇮🇹😎

Great video Many thanks Peace

In the documentary "long way round" charlie also said the bikes where to heavy , frame broke issue ect. , when you watch the documentary you get a clear understanding what is to much and to heavy , they need 3 people to lift or move a stuck GS ....

whats the name of the song used during the b-roll footage? sounds amazing

I reckon it’s a great looking bike, but I don’t like the gap between the rear tire and the seat, right size tank for Australia

Brilliant review.

They are all expensive. If you're in the market, the Ducati is a viable option. Personally I like the KTM machines a little more for their offroad heritage and know-how. But the Ducati is also appealing for sure.

great review! cheers

That was a great, detailed and to the point review, as always, john. Thanks for talking about the price and service intervals. I can't afford one either, and having no clue whatsoever about offroad, I wouldn't ride one of these anywhere near a dirt road except at a very leisurely pace. The conundrum about bikes in this weight and price class, I think, is that they almost all have the very latest in electronics, suspension and various other aids, and while the BMW has an advantage in the low centre of gravity, it's not much lighter, more comfortable to ride (or pick up if you drop it) or any more reliable. And they are all expensive (BMW, KTM, Triumph, Ducati especially, but also Honda). So, at the end of the day, it often comes down to brand loyalty and awareness, and judging by sales stats, at least here in Switzerland where they are openly published each month and people have the money to afford these things, along with a nice comfy garage to keep them in, that's exactly how they sell. BMW up ahead as usual, then Honda, then KTM, Ducati and Triumph bringing up the rear. I'd also like to point out that Boorman and McGregor had along a camera crew and support and had to load their bikes on trucks at certain stages. Navigating mud paths and dropping these bikes numerous times a day would be extremely strenuous for anyone and extremely few people who can afford these bikes ever ride them off road at all. I actually think Yamaha's much derided Tenere 700 would be a far better bike for actual long distance off road riding.

I'm perfectly fine without the stone shots. I really enjoy POV reviews, especially the ones without narration (ex. Winding Road). It creates an immersive experience where I can feel like I am part of the test ride and evaluation.

Hi Bike World, I love off road riding, it is about 50% of my riding, I do not want any detractors during my experience in the bush and electronic suspension, fully adjustable traction control as well as elephant weight/looks, forget it mate.

How are these holding up in reliability? Variable cam, automatic suspension, keyless entry... it is not an if, but a when will it break.

Any engine heat when sitting?

Bravo, great job👏👏👏👏

motoface only somewhat? Come on, don’t kid yourself.

The proper "ride off road" weight is based on 2 things. How skilled (strong?) the rider is and how tough / technical the course. Could I ride this thing on a motocross track? Yea, I think I could. Would I do better with a bike that weighs 200+ lbs rather than 550+ lbs? Hell yea.

13 or 30 liter tank I wonder!

Leaning out of every corner on the road just to push the bike in more to show how awesome it is.

It doesn't have 200HP 😲 but I need all that power off road... It's just not big enough.😭 no sale. Will have to wait for the 1499cc

Can you tell me is it worth the extra money over a pristine secondhand 1200 Enduro as there seems to be a few on the market now which I'm looking at.

John Roberts hard to say. If you’re tall you might find the 1200 Enduro suits your body size. If you can swallow the difference in price, you might prefer the idea of owning a bike from new. Got to be worth a back to back test ride, or at the very least a sit on both before you decide. I rode both and would be happy on either on the road, I got on better with the shorter, newer model off road.

What an awesome looking bike

Anything bigger than KTM 790 adv is a no go for safe off road. Maybe KTM 990 adv if you know what you are doing.

Charlie and Ewan had a shit ton of problems because of their choice of bike and the amount of gear they packed. If I recall Ewan snapped the subframe of his GS (!!!!) because it was too overloaded. I'm pretty sure if they went with an f650gs or 640 adventure they would have had a far less "eventful" adventure.

A big trailie that performs like a sports bike. Apart from the cost for me there is nothing I dont like about this bike. One bike that does it all, this one would be it. Ok, like most all rounders there are other bikes that do certain specialised things better.

Bike World. Indeed Charley Boringperson did have lots of fun riding his 300Kg BMW on the road of bones, you are quite right. However, you failed to mention that he was riding with two other people and a 4 WD carrying a 4 man support team just a few miles behind him if he needed to pick the fucking thing up. Incidentally, am I the only person who spotted that the support truck had an entire rack of BMW tyres on it with different type of tyre for every condition on it? Please tell me that you noticed it too and that every time the terrain changed so mysteriously did the tyres. LOL! Look we could all ride half tonne bikes if we had an army of supporters behind us but normal people like me ride around the world on our own which is why we ride bikes like KTM690 or Yamaha WR250R. Also I note that none of you 'testers' ever take into account that when you ride RTW you are carrying at least 25KG of an extra weight called luggage?

Lean your body into the bend when cornering. Don’t fight the bike, it knows best 👍

this bike reminds somehow small airplane :) beautiful but too expensive for throwing around in bushes unfortunately.

Better then BMW?

i really don't like that they're taking height out of the bike. it reduces groundclearance and reducing the handle-bar height makes it less ergonomic for riding standing up. changing the rubber thickness on the footpegs doesn't do anything, you take those out anyways. Imho, if anything , they should have made the suspension stronger (bottoms out when you're jumping around)

Soon my dear. Soon. Well.... in 2-3 years, when you’re 2 years left-over and heavily discounted at $18k. But still.

Putting..the weight onboard should one go with a KTM Adventure 790 s or The multi enduro 1260s ? Iam 5'10" my weight is 70kgs Any suggestions fellow bikers?

Mostly countries have not taller people just some people are suitable height

Better beef up if you want to stay on, off road.

Seat height is too much

Some silly design features for an off-road capable bike. Such as the clutch and brake fluid reservoir’s are mounted to the hand guards. So if you drop the bike and break a hand guard, well, you better have a lot of duct tape 🤦🏻‍♂️

Triggered Welsh people at 3:04

Seat height is too much that is bad

Ducati off-road? I love Ducati, and love the MS, but not for more then mostly on-road ripping it and some easy fire roads. Give me a break.

Looks too expensive to be trashed offroad... and if you dont want to trash it, what's the point of having all the big HP and driver nannies??

@@johnhogan8177 LOL, challenge accepted! I'm a "hold my beer" sort of guy, with over 50 years worth of scars to prove I'm just stupid enough to try it. I was told by some dirt bikers that there was no way I could get a Rebel 250 to the end of the trail they were taking once. I had to get off and lift/drag it over a few obstacles, and I ate shit a few times, but I met them at the end of the trail. Sure, they got there about an hour ahead of me, but I did make it. The main reason I say I'm not sure I would take that bike anywhere I wouldn't take my Ninja is weight. Neither has an "ability to ride pretty much anywhere" in my view. I'll take the Rebel places I would never take the Ninja, simply because I can get the Rebel back on the rubber so much more easily. For off roading (*REAL* off roading), I want a bike that weighs no more than 300 lbs, preferably with some suspension travel, knobbies, and ground clearance. I would give up any of those attributes before light weight. Adventure bikes are fine for touring if you just want a little off road capability, but when riding alone, light weight is a priority for me. I'm thinking about doing mt next Colorado trip on a KLX 250. Sure, there are much better bikes to do 1000 mile plus pavement runs, but I know I'll be happier with that once I get there. I thought about trailering it, but where's the fun in that?

Except the better offroaders don't handle anywhere near as good on road. And the better tourers don't handle on or off road better. The multistrada is the only bike in its class that can do all pretty damn well. I rode the new ktm's, tigers, Africa twin and Bwms. All of them did something better but were horrible at something else. And for That, the multi is probably the best bike ive ever sat on.

That is one ugly bike.
