Having a hard time deciding what 2014 bike to get..the Ducati Multistrada touring S, or the BMW r 1200gs in premium plus trim....first world problems, right?
I was pretty set on a new r1200gs. Jack of all trades, does everything pretty well, popular for obvious reasons.
I started thinking, however, the ducati multistrada touring is also a great option.
Seems like the ducati to be a better bike on the road and the gs better off the road...which lead me to start thinking, "how much off road riding do I really want to do on the bike?" I definitely want to be able to handle unpaved and unimproved roads and extended travel...but 'moderate' is as extreme as I plan on trail riding...maybe a campsite along my way etc....ie..I do my 'overlanding' in my truck. This thing will see more paved roads and travels than not.
Thoughts from the pros?
