Ducati Multistrada V4 S vs Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Pro

[@mariobianchi1909]

Must admit I love them both...to me Ducati and Triumph are iconic, plenty of history, top end brands.

[@johnbarker9448]

Had the 1200 GT pro for 7000 miles.Replaced tyres with Roadsmart 4's and they transformed the bike, really good.All day comfort let down by the handlebar vibration, and on/off throttle control. Not good on a mountain hairpin! Quality let down by a lot of corroding fasteners. Now own a Multi V4s. Fuel consumption around 20% worse than the Trumpet and all day in the saddle is not as comfortable. All said, I find the Ducati a more refined and better quality machine that induces more smiles per mile. Pricey I know, but you get what you pay for. It's the Ducati for me. Oh, and by the way, it's the best bike I've ever owned.

My V4s Multi is the worst bike I have ever owned. I spent nearly $50,000 AUD and once out of warranty the main computer, ABS unit, front MC went, rear MC went and now has engine surging, $10,000 fix and no love from Ducati Australia

[@motorcyclistfromholland8856]

And the price difference?

[@specialandroid1603]

I test rode the Triumph 1200 and rejected it because of the vibration and engine sound. Bought a BMW XR 1000 instead. Very different bike and more refined. These bikes are not cheap and so should not have to accept poor quality or design.

Good comparison. I have had my 23’ Rally Pro for 8000+ miles and I love the power and all day comfort. Shaft drive is essential to this bike. I use it as a sport touring machine. The 21” front is more than I need, it impedes sporty handling. It can cut off in 3rd gear every now and again which is unacceptable and unnerving. The weight of the bike is a beast and thinking of taking it off road is unrealistic for me. The on/off throttle is dismal and another reason that I wouldn’t buy another one. Though I think I will keep it because it is supremely capable on [and off road]. I don’t want anything bigger. But surely the next bike has got to be a smooth on/off throttle experience. These bikes are far too expensive to be built that way.

Great review and beautiful bikes. I really love my 2019 Triumph Tiger 1200 XRT and even though its not the new model, I love how it rides. I wish I have the newer model but I actually like the headlight on the older model. and even though it top heavier, its very nimble once you get going and initiating a turn is effortless.

This Matt guy is brilliant 🎉 triples ftw. If you're too tall for adventure bikes mate just get a sportsbike. Something around 675cc.

[@Art-kz6zf]

Ridden both many times. No contest here really, Multi V4 is the best bike i have ever ridden.

[@hurry1274]

Indeed! I am a proud owner of a Rally pro 2023🔥🔥 I ride it like I am on the Pegasus ❤

[@geraldrausch8359]

Just one argument for the tiger: fuel consumption 😂😊

[@petronas211v]

What jacket the baldy guy got?

[@braaaaaaaaaaap]

Compare while riding not just sitting at a bench. Nice to watch videos of riding when you can't.

[@timrodierides]

More Matt!

[@Boxer1250RT]

Both have the Ugliest pipes almost rusted in the front view. Especially the Tiger with triple pipes. Ducati all day long. In the US, I believe the Tiger 900 model is a better seller.

[@martinstenning1769]

Ridden a few bikes in my time, multistrader is the original adventure bike, a lot of manufacturers have tried to copy it. For me still nothing out there that gets your heart racing like a Ducati multistrader…

[@specialandroid1603]

Two very different motorcycles

[@madworldpaino83]

triumph has a speed limitor ducati has not... finish😂

[@nightwing2348]

silly subjects ,my bike has more cylinders. .

[@vector409]

ducati in warranty , triumph for every year after

[@ApexMotow]

Haha. Figured it out

[@ItsAllJustBollox]

The Ducati comes with a 4 year unlimited mileage warranty and 9k oil and 36k miles valve service. The days of Ducati unreliability are long gone now they are owned by Audi. The Triumph is a 24 months unlimited warranty, with 10k oil service and 20k major.

[@vector409]

@@ItsAllJustBollox coz audi are the most reliable brand

[@ItsAllJustBollox]

@@vector409 this is what MCN say about the Panigale. This year marks five years of the Panigale V4 S and in that time despite having a big cube V4 that revs to the moon and electronics galore it has proved to be completely reliable, as you’ll be able to see if you click on our owners’ review of the ’18 and ’20 models.

[@MW_1981]

The Triumph has a 3 year warranty in the UK
