I chose the Ducati Multistrada Pikes Peak over the BMW XR. For me one of the draw backs of the XR was the riders saddle is a bit bucket shaped and didn't feel comfortable. I prefer the looks of the Ducati and the 170 horses are more than enough for sporty rides up and down mountain twisty roads or on the endless routes through Schwarzwald. Even at low to moderate RPM the Pikes Peak will make you smile every time you twist the throttle. I was surprised as how well the PP handles tight turns and long rides with passenger and luggage are just perfect with this bike. My Girlfriend and I just returned from a 4000km tour around Italy and we had a blast riding through the countryside twisty roads (even with the terrible condition of the Italian side roads)

[@shockerzevworld5911]

Owned an XR. Traded it for the Pikes Peak. Not going back.

[@tomtraynor5384]

Hard to argue. I made a similar move to a PP, but from a KTM SD GT. Same feeling as you. The KTM CAN be a sport tourer. But it's a modded Superduke in the end--and the old, outdated one at that--compared to the PP. The PP IS a sport tourer.

Pikes Peak looks so good in person I would have that over the Bmw any day. I had the radar cruise control in Ktm 1290 SAS and it is great to use when you are not in mood to go fast and just criuse on highway.

[@lyndonohue3350]

Will have to see all the changes made to the XR. I owned a second gen XR, nice bike, but the seat was horrible. Traded the XR for a Pikes Peak, added the race exhaust & tune. The Pikes Peak is easily the better bike if you can afford it. More torque in low and mid RPM, better handling/suspension and it is more comfortable. Nicer looking as well. I am anxious to see the M1000XR though. I am sure it will be faster on a track, but on public roads I am not so sure the extra power will translate into better performance on twisty roads where torque is what matters.

[@jnorm0075]

They changed the seat in 2024. Looks great on the bmw

[@donnyazoff980]

Was your Gen2 XR reliable? I am thinking about buying a 2023 model.

[@markbarbour468]

S1000XR owner for 3 years now. Dont think this bike gets enough credit for what it can do. All rounder in my eyes. Touring with my wife for 3 week, bimble round the town and amazing on the twisties. Only grumble is the standard seat. Had to spend £300 to make it right. The price of the PP would put me off. The BMW triple black TE has 90% of the extras compared to the PP and £8 or £9k cheaper.

When ducati realizes the pikes peak no longer the top dog Next year on ducati unveiling season: we introduce the multistrada V4S Pikes peak....we gave it the engine from the Panigale V4S and the oil from the V4R and gave the Superleggera aero package cuz we are ducati and thats why and it costs 65k and has 220hp

Fair evaluation. Let’s see the how the final production version comes out. I love my Multi V4S 😊 Think it edges out the PP for almost the same everything (19 vs 17 wheels) but comfort is better. Cheers

[@tomtraynor5384]

Waiting for the BMW to compare to my awesome Multi PP. Do NOT think the standard multi V4 S IS a PP. MOST things are different on the PP--from chassis specs--including swing arm, rake, trail/electronic settings/wheels/tires/Ohlins suspension/brakes/swing arm and front chassis dimension/handlebars/footpeg dimensions are all somewhat-to-very different between the two Multis. The two Multis are more different than alike. Coming from a very good KTM Superduke GT--I was nervous buying the PP. Not anymore. PP IS the best sport tourer with very good two-up capacity and comfort. Super duke GT is a 8.0. Pikes Peak is a 9.5. Will this BMW trump both? I am concerned this revver motor wont see the power peak much so that leaves torque/drivability between 3000-8000 rpms, where the motor on a bike like this will be used 99% of the time. We shall see.

[@kurushunwalla]

[@ampiegreeff3075]

I dont think so as it could increase the cost of the bike overall.

[@salishwanderer7869]

The Multi is compared to the regular XR and loses on most performance measures but is a toss up in other ways. The new M1000XR will smoke any other upright style bike in performance, including the KTM1290. You don't have to like the looks, though I think it's great. But you have to respect the overall capability and power from 1,000cc's.

You are correct, but the new M1000XR is not compared with the PP but with the new Multistrada V4 RS which will smoke any other bike in this category 😂😂

@@ricardoanez6436 The MXR will have better numbers, and with the shift cam probably better mid-range usable power. The Ducati may win on top end speed.

[@heinerpansen3995]

I drove the Multistrada V4 Rally yesterday and a few BMWs Last year. The Multi is fantastic, but after 2 Hours of riding I can‘t sitt no longer of this Bike. The Seat is to hard and no matter of what Mode I drove, the Suspension could be a littel softer. For longer Tours I loved the BMW R1250RS. Two Days in the Eifel didn‘t do no harm to my back. 245 km/h was Easy and felt very Safe on the Autobahn. It‘s a littel bit Heavy and a littel bit high for me. But what a Dream of a Touring Bike! But I didn‘t want to spend that much for my first Touring Bike, so I bought an Triumph Tiger 1200 GT. I am quite happy with my pick.

[@iNFiN3]

I prefer the looks of the multi, but I would go for the BMW, looks like the better package overall unless you realy want the radar, but I dont think those bikes will be bought for highway cruising for it to be essential.

Real road riding.

[@GoGoggansGo]

It’s the gran turismo engine with valve springs, it has a much lower redline at like 10.5k but has considerably more torque down low and the mid range. Also with tuning, exhaust and a filter they pick up alot of power. It’s not exactly fair to compare the two because the Ducati has a more tammed down V4 which also btw has 35k miles “USA miles” service interval and like i said its a good road engine. I have a streetfighter V4 it’s amazing but for an everyday bike it’s way too much, the advantage with the BMW is its shift cam tech, when working correctly will give you the same torque as my streetfighter down low and all the same top end. The grand turismo engine btw makes a good 10 foot pounds over me, it comes down too what do you want A more streamlined V4 with a lot of low end or a high revving good top end power inline 4. But i do agree Ducati should of shoved in my engine into the pikes peak edition Just my two cents

[@bensmith7536]

Exactly. Find anyone who needs all of that for normal road riding, then see how long they remain riding for. Thats more than 99% of riders would use on road. Marketing, not usable performance.

The proof will be in the riding but both bikes suffer from a race track engine shoved into a street bike.

To me there are just better engine configurations for these bikes, like KTM's 1290.

[@drewyager4020]

[@pistolpete6321]

I’d go with the BMW especially with the shift cam engine which makes the inline 4 even better. I’m betting the BMW comes in a few grand less than the Ducati.

[@rlsedition]

I'd go for the Ducati and one reason is that inline 4s still have that high frequency handlebar buzz, which puts my hands to sleep. Ducati's low frequency buzz is much more tolerable for me.

[@Fernando90054]

@@rlsedition that question has been corrected. I understand that Pryor to 2020 editions the BMW bike had that buzz over the bars. I own a 2022 S1000 XR And there is not a bit of vibrations not on the bars, and neither at the pegs 👍🏻

@@Fernando90054 I haven't heard any bike journo make that claim, that the vibes have disappeared on the S1000XR.

I would have bought even a standard Multi V4S if it was a bit cheaper, and lighter. Couldn't justify it over a non-M S1000RR. I prefer the clip-ons riding position and I found a new 2022 S1000RR for 20k. I went to Ducati and specced up a Pikes Peak with some typical options, it came to 35k!

[@rlsedition]

@@MattNeighbour Not a fair comparison, as the S1000RR is, like the Panigale, a race bike for the street. Plus, you can't compare pricing of a top-of-the-line Multi to a base S1000RR. Try the M version BMW superbike instead, which ain't cheap either.

[@MattNeighbour]

@@rlsedition the purchasing decision was 2022 S1000RR (with most of the option packs included) vs Multistrada V4S. Still cheaper. The M1000RR is worse for the road as it doesn't have the electronic suspension, and it's better compared to a Panigale V4R.

I don’t care if these bikes are the peak examples of technology for each manufacturer. The price of each is mental and puts them far out of reach of the majority of riders.

[@tomtraynor5384]

Wondering: If a "screamer" motor is ideal for bikes in this segment. I rarely rode my former KTM Superduke GT and current Pikes Peak over 8000 rpms. Especially as this is for "wife to ride on" bike. Yeah--I tricked her! Of course--the ride will tell the tale, but I'd like to se a Dyno graph of each overlaid to assess the "area under the curve" in the typical road-riding rpms. My PP did achieve a max torque on Dyno of 92-ft. lbs at about 7000-ish rpms. Good torque. At reasonable rpms. My SD GT did 97 ft lbs. around same RPM range.

[@brankojerbic6040]

The standard S1000XR is faster than the Duke but then I would go for the 1250GS if I had to have an adventure style bike. The torque on the boxer is 143NM at 6250 vs the Ducati at 125NM at 8750... no contest. Also when you look at used bike sales the BMW's have much higher kilometers / miles and the Ducatis have very little use. That should tell you everything.... Why have an adventure style bike that is not designed for off road use ? Buy a real road bike instead...

My 2017 SuperSport has 18k valve adjustment intervals, where my air-cooled 1999 900SS has 6k intervals. Today's Ducati's are on par or better than the competition on maintenance requirements.

@@rlsedition From Ducati, I had experience with a 2015 Ducati Multistrada 1200S. Malfunctions were constantly in the electronics and the brake system ...

[@rlsedition]

@@freefleer_ola So yours is anecdotal, from your own machine. OK, but I have three buddies now on Multis who have had no issues at all. Don't use a broad paint brush on the brand to suggest all Ducatis have problems - they don't.

BMW is much better looking. I do not like Ducati eagle look.

[@nemerkha]

both bikes can only be properly ridden on track, or on some sections of the autobahn. will probably be living at their local Strabucks parking lots LOL.

DUCATI, not GICATI 🙈 0:21

I have the only actually good multistrada made. From 10 to 15. Mines a 13 1200. DVT bikes are more trouble than their worth. Tuned a 1200 nibbles the heals of 200hp with ease. And honestly? Dont know many folks that can handle all 150 of its stock hp, let alone after a tune. So imo? That bmw is a waste. MTS are already expensive. That stupid peen extension "200hp" bmw will likely cost as much as a pikes peak RS. Screw that.

Radar Cruise control not available on the XR. Pikes Peak hand's down! can't really be called a "tourer" if you have to constantly adjust you cruise control. Those who don't like it can just turn it off...

the ducati 1260 enduro is a honda postie force fed with growth hormones

[@chirag4]

[@chirag4]

already being an owner of 2022 X-Diavel ... and I have tried the Multistrada V4 ... it's good, but not great
