Ducati Multistrada V4

£17,167 | 1158cc | 228kg (wet) | 167.6bhp | 840mm-860mm seat height

By picking the base model Multi V4 you sacrifice the S model’s semi-active suspension but you still get a high level of tech, that V4 motor and a chassis designed with all of Ducati’s sporting knowhow. It stretches the definition of an all-rounder – the Multistrada isn’t just capable of riding on its eponymous 'many roads', it excels on them.

Ducati DesertX

£15,167 | 937cc | 210kg (wet) | 108.6bhp | 875mm seat height

As well as looking amazing, the DesertX blends serious off-road ability with impressive road handling to create one of the best middleweight adventure bikes. On road, the engine is perky, tractable, smooth and free-revving. Peak power is 110bhp at 9250rpm, so in Sport mode on a twisty road it’s tempting to spin the engine hard between bends.

Suzuki haven’t altered the parallel twin in any way, meaning i
