2019 Ducati Multistrada 1260 Enduro First Ride, The 250kg Panigale On Stilts

[@paulocarreiro5855]

This is how you do a video review! What an excellent job!

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

Thanks Paulo!

9:21 though!

[@SkuStyle]

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.

[@flowrider5548]

Your review makes this bike more likely. Love the sand color and feel, what a beauty!

[@jonnywondr]

"charlie and that guy on star wars" lol

[@conceptsmart]

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

[@ronaldwhite5670]

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

[@thaynamite]

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 ....

[@CommieHunter7]

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

[@hawgietonight]

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

[@leeryan1969]

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 ))

[@johnhogan8177]

Lee Ryan ride them both as much as you can before you buy, Ryan. I rode the 1250 GS Adventure last week (video on the way) and that is very good too.

[@leeryan1969]

@@johnhogan8177 Cheers for that! ;)

[@redwine65]

I suppose what is meant by off road and what kinda driver and strength we are talking about?it looks like a beast but Im not sure I would want to take it thru the enduro track in paul bunyon park in minnesota. especially full of round the world gear.

[@michaelhayward7572]

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.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

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.

[@stizzygrayson5541]

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

[@whittlad]

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✌️🇮🇹😎

[@simonbell931]

It Looks just a Akbar Micky Bahaja 1200 from Custom line big bore MCV's .Does the patent match the indenture for federal registration.

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

[@nigelcrowley8529]

Great review Hoges but I particularly like how the sunlight is illuminating just your ball-bag at 4.30...distracting and somewhat arousing.

We miss you bike world. Feels like early Christmas. Thank you. My best clip is the comparison between Yamaha tracer 900 or mt10 sp with multistra.

[@vic1mr]

Does the quickshifter work in all modes ? I test rode one and it only worked in enduro and urban ? Great vid thank you

[@stevenkorezelidis804]

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.

[@disekjoumoer]

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.

[@SkuStyle]

254 KG weight fully fueled for the Ducati Multistrada 1260 Enduro, BMW R 1200 GS Adventure is 263 kg !!! fully fueled. Both bikes with 30 L fuel tanks, 9 KG more on BMW GS. The new KTM 790 Adventure R looks a great option.

[@m118lr]

@@SkuStyle ..I REALLY like the idea of the 790

[@Not_Sure-2020]

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.

[@roadracer247]

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

[@rizaldiilman]

Im wondering, 1200cc is it useful for offroad?

[@jitterball]

Yes, only for mild off-roading, basically unpaved road.

[@MrJohnboe]

1260 cc and obviously you don't need to twist throttle right to the fucking stops man

[@Englishbikerdan]

Brilliant review.

[@maviroy]

Bravo, great job👏👏👏👏

[@simonm6499]

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.

[@seanashenden]

As always a joy to watch and listen to , you could probably review a washing machine , and I would find it interesting !!! Top job .. now crack on with part 4 rebuild !!

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

Thanks Sean, we've been shooting part 4 today...

What are thoughts vs 950s

[@RidingJapan]

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

[@pjconey]

I can't understand why on earth they put the front signals where they have.

[@johnroberts6836]

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.

[@johnhogan8177]

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.

[@wickedleeloopy2115]

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

[@kamilf9558]

Great video Many thanks Peace

[@fatcole1152]

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.

[@khakimzhanmiras]

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.

[@darseyno1520]

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

[@m118lr]

SUPER nice bike..

[@sgomez3047]

7:46 now that's more impressive than the Multi riding skills! Try riding that mountain bike up the hills! Kudos to the cyclist!

[@OSR_1]

great review! cheers

[@arubuto]

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)

[@sleepindragon179]

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.

[@JpOcDenver]

I want one real bad. I love my ‘13 multi GT.

[@sadigov]

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.

[@jamesfairmind2247]

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?

[@taymiya1268]

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.

[@Scandi-Hooligans]

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 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@michaellovell2518]

"Ability to ride pretty much anywhere..." lolwut I'm not sure I would take that bike anywhere I wouldn't take my Ninja.

[@johnhogan8177]

Michael Lovell honestly, that’s my gauge for off road riding on new bike launches. I ask myself if I could ride a sports bike on the trails we go on. There’s no way a sports bike would have managed the off road ride that we did.

[@michaellovell2518]

@@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?

[@michaellovell2518]

@Sir Tristan Would you care to elaborate on your presumed authority to disqualify me from posting an opinion? Are you assuming I only own one bike, and have never owned another? You do understand that you have posted nothing more than an opinion, and one which I might much more easily disqualify on much more rational grounds, don't you? Probably not, lol... Carry on.

[@Tinmar_Isation]

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??

[@MrJohnboe]

You didn't watch it did you.........he addresses that, most parts to break are things you'd replace on any bike. Cheap stuff and the expensive stuff doesn't really get dinged.

[@thebabbler8867]

KTM spanks this thing. Lmao

[@chrishowe9988]

Depends on whether off roading is more than 50% of your riding. Most riders will be touring paved roads and very little rough stuff. KTM 21" front wheel and off road breeding, Ducati 19" front and road heritage. Nuff said.

[@oso1165]

a big giant meh. in this class there is better off roaders, better tourers, and better street bikes. only people buying this are people who want the Ducati badge

[@markmay7821]

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.

[@GeorgiaGrowGuy]

That is one ugly bike.
