The MCN today has the report of its 7 'adventure styled' bike test. They are all primarily road or sports orientated bikes unlike the GS, KTM 1190, Explorer and Yamaha Super Tenere test of dual sport bikes 2 weeks earlier.
I've posted this thread since some may be interested in how the test times compare with the GS. The Multi was considered the best of the bunch in the latest test.
On top gear roll on from 40-120mph the GS was 11.79 secs, the Multistrada was 13.57 secs and the KTM 1190 9.52 secs. I find the Multi time a little hard to believe unless in top gear at 40mph it's in the lumpy low end of its rev range.
On standing 1/4 mile the GS was 11.59 secs, the Multistrada was 11.53 secs and the KTM 1190 was 11.32 secs.
The rest of the bikes generally were slower unless you're interested in top speed (I'm not, is anyone these days?).

for the same roll on test. can't remember if theirs was 40 or 50 up wards.Just remember the diference being quite a bit ...............unless it was a typo
Last week, it was the GS, although they said the winner should be the KTM, according to their video.
WTF are they doing?
