I tried the Multi Enduro, XCA, 1290 and standard GS and for me the 1290 was the best hands down. Easy to trickle around or blast like a lunatic. The Triumph felt weedy and the handling was poor (heavy), the Multi's gear shift was really clunky and it seemed less powerful than the 2013 model. The GS was good to redline but that arrived too soon meaning it needs much more shifting and was missing top end pull when you wanted to have some real fun. The 2017 1290 SA S should be a hoot.

Great report and filming .

where can we find a comparison between the Multistrada Enduro and KTM adventure R?

I just got to watch this awesome videos, it is a fair review, I believe it is the best review out there compering the correct models. Please reunite your pals and do it off-road. Once again great video/review

Yeah, Bike Social says a lot - delivered. Four guys speaking to what they experience and prefer. I like! Same challenge for me, which of the two: GSA or Multi Enduro.

Great vid guy's. It's the first time I have watched you. Just a comment about not needing a "300 mile range". Maybe in the UK and Europe it may not be needed but I live in Aus and often in outback areas fuel stops can be 250 plus miles apart. BMW sell a lot of GSA's in this part of the world. Looking for ward to seeing more of your stuff.

My choice came down to the GSA and Strada Enduro. I bought the Duc and couldn't be happier. It truly is a Swiss army knife of a motorcycle. The DVT is amazing.

Amazing camera work

Awesome! My money is on the KTM, it will be my next bike!

Nice and refreshing when the media is actually prepared to make a call at the end, I am so tired of watching reviews/comparisons where they say they can't choose as they are all great, if that's the case don't waste our time just say so at the beginning.

That video reminds me very much of the 1000PS channel, especially with the music at the beginning. ;)

great video, wish it was longer, will you have a detailed article on your website later?

Hi Fahad, Glad you enjoyed it. Our full review can be found here: bit.ly/BIGadv

Well done Guys !!

Where is the Super Tenere ES?

Great video ... due low vibration... best suspension ... Confort .. gs all the way

Great review on all 4 Bikes. Always a point to consider is the after service from the Dealership? You will find that BMW service is second to none...............and that is the true test !

Triumph updates for 2016 are good, with the WP suspension etc and other updates, but it just doesn't feel enough, I think they're ready for a new platform now to move the model forward.

Great video. Whats the soundtrack?

I have demoed all of these bikes plus the 2016 Ducati Multistrada S, BMW XR1000, Honda (Africa Twin) CRF1000L and Aprllia Caponord Rally over the summer 2016. All great bikes , but I found the big Ducati Multistrada Enduro the best (it's always going to be subjective) for me. If your not sure which one you want then go try them out and see what floats your boat as all great bikes!!

Love the Ducati Multi Enduro, but unfortunately the customer service sucks(at least here in Mexico). BMW seems to be the market leader in after sale service.

Now let's see 300 miles off-road. I own a LC GSA and can't imagine owning anything else. That being said I understand the love for the Ducati on road but my money would be on the KTM and BMW in regards to Swiss Amy capabilities.

So which one is the biggest one?

I agree with your choice but most punters are swung by the BMW reliability and customer service. A friend of mine has had problems with his education and is regretting his purchase.

...great clip Mark, though how do the KTM and Ducati compare in the real world with chain drive versus the BMW and Triumph shaft?; if I had a few days or brand new bike to ride around, I doubt I'd be any different, though for long term, those two (KTM/Ducati) really aren't options surely?...

You'd be surprised. I was hesitant on the Ducati for a long time purchase. But if you go on the forums or Facebook's group page, it's all talk about tires and pictures of pretty mountains in the background. Nobody in the year I've owned the multi has ever come up with a problem on the page. And I look every day. Though they did have a problem with the gas gauge, but they replace it at no cost. I had a klr and a versys and those pages are filled with problems... And I bought a 6 year warranty, so I'm good lol

I really don’t like scaffolding for all the luggage and the fact the right side bags have to be mishapen because of the exhaust drives me crazy. The Versys 1k is one of the only bikes I can think of where the exhaust doesn’t bother the side bag, sure might be inferior to all of these for most people but I would go it because of that.

great review

Wow ! All journalists pretty worn out before riding back home !

it's kind of funny how the Honda Crosstour X never gets invited on these multi shootouts.

BMW and that funky wide sideways engine... I just can't do it...

Crazy as this review is 3yr old and now pricing these models are priced in such a way u can get a leftover triumph the cheapest , the multi is actually is next cheapest even demo unit with 500 miles and the bmw is still very expensive used. The deals are demo or left over duc as u can walk away with a left over with warranty .

All nice bikes but i think the Ducati takes to be honest i love all bikes

That sucks bro…. If it makes you feel better my 2019 Africa Twin Adventure Sports spent months and months in the shop. I bought it brand new, and the motor still knocks, so I’m going to do what I should have done from the very beginning… Within the month I am selling the twin and purchasing a GS 1200/1250. I’m tired of going through all of the bikes attempting to do what the GS does. It’s sort of pointless. I should have just started out with the GS instead of going through bike after bike trying to find an alternative. There is no alternative.

I’d love to hear the raw engine sounds instead of hideous ‘music’.

I don't know why you guys are riding adventure bikes. You never go off road! I tried all but the Triumph as there is no support where I am riding here in Kazakhstan. The other bikes I have had here are the Honda CRF 450X and Yamaha Teneré both were great for what they were designed for but I needed something that would work at altitudes up to 15,000 ft off road and with two up and luggage. I finally settled on the KTM Super Adventure and am very pleased with my choice so far. The stock tyres will be replaced with Continental TKC80. I had these on the Teneré and they worked well on and off road. The luggage is Bumot, being shipped from Bulgaria. Much stronger than most of the competition and I am sure a lot more stable than the KTM luggage. I rode through Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan on the Teneré and anyone who says 30l fuel tank is too much has never run out of fuel at 11,000 ft in the middle of Tajikistan where there are no petrol stations outside the cities. My only gripe so far is the crap saddle that will have to go before the next long ride.

Well !! You all got it wrong !!
