Ducati Panigale V2 2020

Ducati Panigale V2 2020

For us, the Panigale V2 is the ultimate road super sports bike. Sophisticated electronic assistance systems that leave nothing to be desired, Ducati's fun 955 cm³ two-cylinder Superquadro engine that generates more than enough power for the road with 155 hp, a great seating position and a high degree of controllability. All of this characterises the Panigale V2 and for this reason it is probably "the" country road supersports bike for us at the moment, but it also cuts a good figure on the racetrack. The Panigale V2 should appeal above all to pilots for whom 200 hp rockets are a bit too much, and to all those who have also been enchanted by this work of art on two wheels.

Beautiful and noble design - ensures many open mouths!

Outstanding electronics package ensures a lot of safety and fun in traffic

Engine, ergonomics & electronics make the machine incredibly "experienceable"!

A real insider tip for supersport beginners and returners

Just the right measure of many things, engine power, chassis, ergonomics.

Compared to other engines of this size, it would still have been nice to have one/two more horses, but there are no really comparable current alternatives to the V2

"Only" in Race mode does it show its true potential

Ducati Multistrada 1200 S 2015

Ducati Multistrada 1200 S 2015

The new Ducati Multistrada 1200 S is a thoroughly successful new edition of the extra-sporty touring enduro. The weaknesses of the predecessor were obviously analysed in detail and corrected: thanks to the DVT system, the engine now also works harmoniously in the lower rev range and the seating position is now also more suitable for comfort-oriented riders. The electronics have been massively upgraded; no other touring enduro is so comprehensively equipped. Starting with the many adjustable modes for power delivery and suspension, the brakes and cornering ABS are also of the highest standard. Although the "normal" Multisrtrada 1200 does without some electronic gimmicks, it is also cheaper and does not ride any worse overall.
