The time has come to consider changing my bike. I currently ride a 2015 BMW R1200GS Adventure, my last 3 bikes have been GSA’s, but this time I’m having a look around at other marques.
So far I have ruled out the Africa Twin, the Triumph Explorer, the KTM Super Adventure and the Yamaha Super Tenere, which leaves me stuck between another GSA and a Multistrada 1260 Enduro.
Because of the spec I would want the Ducati comes out a couple of grand more than the BMW, the BMW comes with pretty much everything whereas with the Multistrada I would want, travel pack (currently offered free), the enduro pack to give me crash bars and spotlights, and a top box (£1000 for a top box !!!).
The thing that worries me with the Ducati is the value 3 years down the road, do these things really depreciate that bad ?
Has anyone else here gone from a GS Adventure LC ? Was the change a step forward, or a step back ? Would your next bike be another Multistrada or would you go back to a GS ?
What are the “essential” things I would need for the Ducati ? I’ve already thought of pannier and top box inner bags and a sat nav mount, is there anything else that everyone seems to add ?
Can the top box be purchased direct from Touratech ? I suppose Touratech wouldn’t supply what ever bracket I would need to fit it ?
Cheers
