The irony is that the GS1300 may feel faster on the road due to the torque. I went from a 1200GSA to a Multi V4S. Multi is easier to ride, particularly heavy traffic filtering. Can use it for distance, plus also Sunday morning sports bike. But the Multi is thirsty. Stopping for fuel is not a problem...my bladder only has a 185 mile range - absolute max.

4 year unlimited mileage warranty on a Ducati

Seems a pretty bang on summary, look forward to trying the new 1300 GS. My 1250 will take some beating!... Only point I'd maybe disagree on is the seat height adjustment going to the Multistrada. The BMW has several seat options, of which there is several levels of height adjustment on the bike for each, then also the standard suspension vs the sports suspension which adds even more height adjustment and obviously the lowering kits. Pretty sure you can have the GS in every 10mm increment from 800 - 900mm depending on spec... correct me if I'm wrong.

Great summery but you missed one most critical element, which is a major consideration for long distance riders. That is the Shaft drive vs the Chain drive. 😀. (BMW also has Brembo brakes, Brembo label is on the inside though)

I think you nailed it! I rode the V4S for a week in Spain and own an R1250GS. I would score it the same way you did. I was almost afraid I would love the V4S so much that I would want it over my GS, especially since I have been a Ducati fan for a long time (but there is no Ducati dealer where I live). I was underwhelmed with the V4S. I actually preferred the DesertX we had in the group. The V4 lacked the soundtrack that I expected. I expected it to be very smooth, but it was vibey at highway speed. The quick shifter had failed somewhere prior to 10,000 km being on the new bike. And it was HOT on your junk at slow speeds and brutal in the city. On the upside, awesome top end and I enjoyed it in the twisties. But overall, I preferred the GS (which was a relief to be honest), even when compared back to back (we had 7 bikes from Love for Ride…MS V4S, Desert X, R1250GS, Africa Twin, Tiger 1200, Tiger 900, Versys 1000). I think too many street riders look at HP too much when they really should give more attention to torque. Doubley so for an adventure biker who goes off-road. The GS has a better power band for the real world. These are not race bikes. A GS has the HP of a race bike from not too long ago and torque to make you drool. The new 1300 seems to elevate it even more. The boxer sound sucks at sedate pace, but I find when you wring it’s neck it is not too bad!

You must have had an issue....vibey at highway speed could not be more opposite of my Multi. In fact that GT engine is so smooth it lulls me to sleep. My GS has terrible shifting and a terrible quick shifter. I think it is safe to say both are great bikes but it depends on your needs/wants. Pure performance there is NO comparison. Where the GS wins in my book is shaft drive. I would probably have more confidence on my GS vs PP but that really comes down to the shaft drive vs chain and not necessarily the bikes themselves. I will test a 1300 soon and I may have a different opinion but I just don't see it hitting the mark like the Pikes Peak.

Look if you bought one or the other you will be a Happy Chappy there both Amazing Bikes !!! im 62 and 73 kg , love your channel thank you from AUS.

So Bob, important to me when looking at bikes like this for touring is: final drive….it’s a shaft every time….I just don’t want the faff of having to lube a chain each day and worry about if it needs adjusting and cleaning mid tour. Secondly I’m not sure what breakdown cover Ducati offer but BMW is gold plated pan European with repatriation included if required……makes me feel very secure 😊

Please make a video on v4r vs m1000rr it will a great favour

Please compare GS adventure with V4 Rally

Thank you for the comparison! I haven't ridden the SAS and GS 1300 yet (although both are still available, unlike Multistrada, as the Ducati dealer probably started selling their fleet very early), however I liked the Multistrada a lot. I haven't tested it around my town yet, only in Spain (with Love for Ride like another commenter here) but it feels like the only bike that is well tuned for both sporty and leisure reading. The former - duh, it is Ducati, the suspension can be appropriate, the engine likes high RPM; however even in slow riding it is comfortable enough, the engine is smooth and has enough power (sure, the power in low RPMs is lower than BMW or KTM but it's a big engine, it doesn't matter than much), basically it has everything. What surprised me is that even if the engine was boiling, even in 35 degree heat I was cool. (Sure, BMW or Triumph have good ventilation too, although Triumph cannot take tall riders because of that, but compared to say Africa Twin lack of heat was noticeable.) The only minus was the engine in low RPMs sounded like a shy vacuum cleaner but then again BMW's sound is nothing to write home about either. We will see how BMW did with their new model, it seems that despite late season the dealer has them in testing fleet and hopefully I'll be able to test.

Hi. Love your youtube channel. You forgot to put the GS driveshaft on the scale. A huge advantage.

I rode a 2021 BMW GS Adventure. I love the bike, but the MS V4 looks to be an incredible bike. I assumed it would win this comparison hands down. I don’t disagree with any of the assessment categories except the maintenance intervals suggested in a comment. I’m surprised to see that it wasn’t even close.

You compared between the full options GS with the normal maltistrada v4 , I have maltistrada v4 rally edition and I see it's better in terms of suspension tech options and breaking desks than the new GS

Struggling to consider this information considering very few have ridden the gs1300 yet. It would be nice to hear /see some feedback from actual experience once it's been released to the press. Just saying like.

Think I’m pulling the trigger on the HD PanAm. Cheaper than both of these and I’m in the US and dealers everywhere. But I would love a 975 PanAm

Tks for the video. In fact, the verdict should depends on what you do (which types of roads) I have a GSA and I just tried the Multi V4S. I love both for different reasons Based on the fact that I ride 99% in the mountains with hairpins (almost 8-10k kms per year loaded with 140 liters of luggage), the torque is the most important. One topic you could have added in the comparison is the luggage ... both are bad, small and expensive ... better to go to SW-Motech or similar but we have no clue for the GS because nothing is existing now (even if I am sure the GS will have everything available in some months). That's why it's important to go to the EICMA this year i would say that the power of the muti gives more fun and is much better for day or WE trips while the current GS is better for weeks trips I will try the new GS in 2 weeks, make my choice and order one or the other The comparison on paper is important but the live test will be key to decide (position, handling, ...) Today, I am not sure ... let's see

BMW brakes were branded Brembos at the U.S. reveal, but this was an EU spec bike. Not sure they’d change that for the U.S.

I think you were a little biased! 😎 In order: Suspension, I prefer the Ducati’s skyhook. In my opinion with the telever you miss some sensibility when you brake hard and some efficiency when you brake in really bad roads. Brakes: give a draw when facing the best braking manufacturer of the world?! Sorry but no… Wheels: why give a victory to any one?! It’s a clear draw. Technology: noooo… as an example, Ducati is the only one that can personalize each one of their modes (suspension, engine… ) while GS only have that option in their’s “pro” modes. At the end, I think it must be a victory for Ducat considering what I mention before. More… is expensive, but it has larger kms between services and more warranty years (not sure). However, 2 really great bikes

Why don't you say anything about Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally, why no comparison with it

I did drive the V4 and 1250. I liked V4 more. But with new 1300 I would test them again to decide.

the g1300 also comes with Brembo brakes it is just written inside the calipers

Used to have RT and found it comfy, quiet and relaxing. Nimble enough and fast. Bought GS after and never became friends with it. Good bike nonetheless but who really needs it (for the purpose)

The 1300 GS nonlonger has Haze brakes, they are Brembo brakes with BMW Branding. Ifnyou look on the aide of the calipers youll see the brembo branding.

3, 4, 6, 7, 11 and 13 are the reasons I would buy this bike. Sound and styling play little in my purchase.

As the owner of a GS (2021) and a multi (2023 Pikes Peak) both are great bikes but I have a different take and it is based on many miles on both. The GS with the Telelever to me is a compromise. As different as that suspension is it sucks off road and is vague on road. To me the GS is a sporty couch with the intention to be many things but falling short on many things. Now I have the Pikes Peak so I have the Ohlins EC2 semi active suspension. When you compare my GS to my Pikes Peak it is like comparing a sporty SUV to an actual race car. There is absolutely no comparison in on road performance. The PP is THE most stable high speed vehicle I have ever experienced, it is fast, smooth, taught and handles like a race bike. That being said the PP is in a different class. When comparing the standard Multi to a standard GS it gets closer but the one thing that these comparisons can never factor in is the pure smiles for miles. Pretty well any BMW I have owned has been good but never great, they always lack soul and fun factor. Ducati and KTM lead the world in that category. With that said, I buy bikes for the thrill and the experience not economics or tech. If I really wanted to tour it is my Street Glide, offroad my Desert X and Beta 390 or 890 Rally, for pure face flattening fun the Pikes Peak or Super Duke. There is not a single bike I own that does not do its respective thing better than any GS.......compromise! It is more important to me to have the tool for the job and not try and make an inappropriate tool do things it was not designed for. The same can be said for the standard Multi but I assure you that the multi is better on road than any GS and at least on par off road but with the smile factor. To sum it up I feel like a passenger on my GS and a pilot on my Pikes Peak.

You are spot-on about how rock stable the MTS is, I have a regular V4 S and it is a pleasure to ride at 120 mph and I held that speed for 100+ miles. Let's just say I went with the Ducati over a GS because I'm old but I still like to squid and the Ducati is better at squidding than the BMW ever dreams of being.

You should check the latest MCN test between the big four adv bikes. Regarding the suspension, you'll realise that the Ducati is actually much better on and off road overall, regardless of these individual comparisons. Yes, it is compared to the 1250, but from hearing about other reviews, they are worlds apart in driving pleasures. Of course this is very subjective at the end of the day and I simply wouldn't buy a huge adv to begin with. It's just not practical and I'd for sure go for a Desert X for adv style bikes.

Why don't they reflect the truth V4 Rally, unattainable for GS

I would get the bmw especially considering it’s the value proposition of the two. However, the good looking Ducati is the Desert X, not the MultiStrada…

Good video. I don't agree on the seat height point going to Ducati though, for two key reasons: the GS can achieve the lowest seat height (800 mm) and overseat measurement, and critically it can 'auto' lower to minimum preload based on speed, the Ducati (and Triumph) cannot. It also lowers at the front and not just thee rear like its peers. I speak as a 6' 2" Multistrada owner.

They break even on the suspension. That’s saying something for the Ducati. I’ve owned several GSAs. I’ve never owned a Ducati. But I may have one in the future.

The BMW has Brembo also... They branded BMW on the outer calipper covers, but the Brembo logo is is present on the inside cover of the calippers.

I love my 2018 rallye, but I think the real weigth of a fully loaded 1300 will be really close to the actual model. Al the weight shown is the bery basic bike with no accessories. The only negative I see on the 1300 is the super exposed "reverse peak" (lol), tje rear mounted radar seems to be super exposed, and being all plastic it will be expensive to replace, it looks like a one piece molded plastic.! Also, it looks chinesse made,not german!

I rode the V4s in the summer and it roasted my family jewels. I also found it quite vibey. Handled well, I wanted to love it but just didn’t 😢. I would never have considered a GS before but the new 1300 styling looks fantastic imho. Fingers crossed it rides as good as it looks

Same here! If you don’t like roasted nuts, hope you don’t get caught in a city. At highway speeds way more vibration and less comfort than a GS. Also, although our test bike was new, the quick shifter had packed it in on the V4S at less than 10,000 km. Also on the downside, I expected to be seduced by the V4 soundtrack, but was sadly disappointed. I actually preferred the V2 of the DesertX. On the upside, the top end was awesome and loved it in the twisties. But then again, I love the GS in the twisties too.

I'll surely look at the new GS--and the XR1000 M--but is a "screamer" motor the thing on a spot tourer--as I tend to label the 17" bikes?

Not to put holes in this argument but, isn't the Multistrada V4 in a different price class? A better comparison would probably be the Multistrada V2.

Compare to Ducati new RALLY

I have a 1250 GSA and for the price tag the new 1300 are starting at it’s a joke. For 49PS extra.

You are not comparing the correct Multistrada. The Ducati Multistrada V4 Rally is the direct competitor to the 1300GS. The Rally has a 30 liter tank, and shuts down 2 cylinders for improved fuel economy. Even my rough calculations equate to around 428km (265 miles) range. It has been reported elsewhere that the range is between 280 and 330 miles, which is probably optimistic. Ignoring fuel consumption, that gives the Ducati similar, or longer, range to the 1300GS. There are additional features on the Rally that give it better touring and offroad ability. I just realized, you reviewed the Rally a month ago. Yeah, this is far from a good comparison. As a long time owner of BMW motorcycles, the Multistrada is on my current short list of bikes to buy. Ready for something that is a bit more exciting, even if It is chain drive.

I'm sure both bikes are more than capable of taking their rotund, mid-40's charges on their arduous 40-mile return trip to the local gastro pub each Sunday..... 😂

BMW offers a low frame option for the GS for smaller riders

I’d take that new GS. Love the revised look, very sleek compared to the previous Gen and the other manufacturer’s offerings. Not enough range out of the Ducati either.

the ratio is 10:2 over Ducati unless you were treated the usual ..."leverage" from the Fritzes

Ducati Multistra Rally all day!

A lot of opinion for a guy who didn’t actually do a comparison test between the bikes. Moto B just reads the specs to make his analysis. Those Haynes calipers have already been recalled last year so how can that be a tie? When compared to the world’s best calipers on the Ducati?

The thing that is difficult to quantify is the ownership experience and I would suggest that the BMW would win in that regard. Motorcyclists are tinkerers and like to do things to their bikes themselves and on that score the BMW would be streets ahead of the Ducati.

No opinion on the Ducati having a chain and the BMW a drive shaft? why still a chain, I love the Ducati, but a chain??

Bmw brakes have Brembo on the otherside to the red Bmw Lettering on the front on the 1i saw today. Made by Brembo still.

Gs the beste

Bought the 1300, really would have liked the Ducati but fuel consumption put me off !

The real weight of the new GS is far higher than they write on the data sheet. The weight on the scale, depending on the configuration, is the same or higher than the 1250!!! That said, both are fantastic bikes! Living in the Alps I know what is better for me, so I have a KTM 1290 Super Adventure 😉

I’ve had Ducati and BMW, The best bike is ……..the Honda 750 X. Unlike the Ducati, the electronics are not made of spaghetti, the beemer is over priced but ideal if your a wealthy 6fft plus dentist, while the beemer has got lighter, is it still too much of a behemoth.

Interesting. That bleating noise the GS makes is an obstacle--for ME.

specs for the win

The GS is also Brembo brakes. It says so on the inside of the system (ie. see from the right the inside of the left and the opposite). Outside they agreed to say BMW. And of course it has smaller disks because it can afford to. It is lighter and the telelever doesn't put that much pressure to the front as the conventional. For the same reason the suspension tubes can afford to be thinner.

The brakes for the new GS is actually Brembo

2 reasons why I’d avoid the GS. - The official motorrad dealer network atrocious here. - GS riders think they’re superior than everyone and the own the highway. Btw the brakes one the GS are brembo. It’s still printed on the inner side of all 3 calipers.

The comparison should be with the Tiger, not the Ducati.

Hmm for me motorcycles hat one cylinder or two, based on engineering tradition. A four cylinder ist a automotive engine, same as 3 . In being a purist the Ducati and triumpf play’s in a different ball park, there not comparable. Harley, Bmw, Honda there all classics ok desmo Ducati 2 cylinder nice. But it isn’t an art in these days to build small high performance engines. Second is quality und durability, Ducati belonging to Audi (VW) has made a quantum leap in quality implementation in manufacturing. But still I’d stick to Honda or bmw on every day use, if your not the group who buy’s a new bike ascsoon as the warranty runs out and the advertising shows the newest stuff to have

multistrada nın dikiz aynasından gs i izlemek bir harika. Bu devam edecek gibi..

IMO, the GS looks way better at this point. The Multistrada looked great when it came out but I think it could do with a refresh. I have a BMW R1150RT and a Honda CBR so maybe I'm a different target buyer but I always thought the GS looked a bit ugly. This new one could pull me over from the RT and K series bikes over to the GS for my next bike. This should attract current GS owners (cause where are they going to go?) while bringing in riders who would never have considered a BWM or a GS in the past.

Nothing comes close to the GS, , a bike is not just specs, Ducati would be nice to rent for a weekend"s fun, but the GS , its the best to live with everyday.....better to get married to!
