BMW R 1250 GS Adventure vs Ducati Panigale V4 Comparison

As A big, bulky adventure bike may not appeal to everyone. But then, it may be just the bike with all-round versatility that many riders seek, even those who have had considerable experience with sportier machines. The GS has a reputation as being one of the most versatile motorcycles which can be used for both two-up touring with luggage as well as for adventures. And it's not difficult to understand why it has been so popular and has been one of the bestselling adventure bikes worldwide.

The new Ducati Panigale V4 S has that innate quality that makes a 200-plus bhp superbike very accessible and safe around a racetrack. Sure, it's not made for less experienced riders new to litre-class superbikes, and despite the state-of-the-art electronics package, one wrong twist of the wrist can make things go wrong very quickly; after all, all that power and torque over a wide rev range is not to be fooled with, or taken lightly, by any standard.
