Multistrada V4 or GS1300 ?
Discussion
Done 2 years on a GS1250 and about 17000 miles.
Looking to change now and narrowed it down to these two.
If I go GS1300 it will be a Tramuntana model with pretty much everything on it so about £24,500 retail
Ridden this bike and I did like it but also thought it was a bit noisy with gear box whine and the BMW luggage isn't available until next year earliest, which may be an issue as I would rather avoid aftermarket luggage if possible.
All very familiar and I lnow what I'm getting which is a strong offering. Super comfy, great fir touring and you can throw them about far more than you would think.
Not ridden the Ducati yet but did look at them to try and understand the ran¹ge a bit better. Will prob take one out next week.
I like the 4 year warranty, the longer service interval and the bhp but less keen on chain drive, fuel economy, sat nav options.
Pricing seems more erratic too which could be a good thing for discounts but also bad for resale.
The GT looks great apart from I don't like the colour scheme so V4S optioned may be the way to go so i can get red or white.
I'm shorter in the leg so the taller models are probably not going to work fir me.
Any thoughts on the Ducati range in particular as this is a new brand to me. For instance woukd I be better with a GT and suck up the colour scheme or would an.optioned V4S hold value etc just as well?
Any thoughts greatly received.
