2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200 S Touring vs. 2013 Triumph Explorer - Video - Motorcycle.com



" ..... A-T bikes make great sport-tourers. With amenities such as cruise control, traction control, ABS, heated grips and seats, lockable/removable hard luggage, etc., A-T bikes oftentimes differ from their sport-touring counterparts only by way of styling, wind protection and suspension travel.

Without even watching this I would be shocked if the Triumph is any where near as good as the Ducati Multistrada.

Multi is great, really great when lightly loaded riding solo. Nothing else comes close. Two up fully loaded for a two week ride and the traditional heavyweight like the GSA, Explorer, and to a lesser extent the KTM ADV gives a better proposition.
But travel light, with just 30kg of luggage, single rider, no topbox, just panniers, I will ditch the GS if i do North Thailand.
