Ducati Multistrada V4 RS 2024
As someone who likes sporty all-rounders, I was impressed by the Multistrada Pikes Peak when I rode it on the track in Modena a year ago, but with the RS Ducati has pushed the boundaries of what is possible in a crossover machine. A 192bhp V4 in a chassis that has many of the qualities of the excellent Streetfighter and Panigale, mixed with the versatility of the Multistrada, makes for a heady mix. Especially when you consider that, for me at least, it's the best looking Multistrada in the range. Yes, it's expensive, but it's also exotic. How often, I wonder, have Panigale owners yearned for a little more comfort, range or practicality? Well, apart from a few insignificant tenths of a second on track lap times, this is the bike. It will shake up Europe just as easily as it will hold its own in the fast trackday group. Who needs that? I do, and I suspect many others do too. I think it's great that Ducati has been brave and bold enough to develop something that is so practical and so crazy at the same time.

BMW M 1000 XR: The unreasonable travelling monster The BMW M 1000 XR is the bike that nobody needs but everyone wants. This oversized touring motorbike combines the comfort of a long-distance machine with the power of a superbike. On the motorway, it feels as stable as if it were riding on rails, even at speeds that dwarf the speed limit. But the real miracle is the braking system, which offers a deceleration performance that is otherwise only known from thoroughbred racing machines. If you make yourself small and open up the throttle, the M 1000 XR becomes a roaring beast that leaves you with a wide grin.
