Ducati Multistrada V4 S vs Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Pro

With such a wide range and varied amount of big-bore adventure motorcycles on the market, the choice can become somewhat bewildering. To take a look at that point, we have compared the Ducati Multistrada V4 S against the Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Pro, with the Ducati representing the exotic, and the Triumph the sensible.

They both go about things in very different ways and represent two ways to crack the adventure motorcycle segment. But is less sometimes more, and is more sometimes too much?

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Just one argument for the tiger: fuel consumption 😂😊

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

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…

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.
