Group test: KTM SMT v Triumph Tiger v Ducati Multistrada v Benelli Tre-K

[pete7kcu]

4 brilliant bikes, but little reference to ability to carry full size (not token) panniers. It is very strange and pleasing to see the Ducati ,at long last, recognised as being a good looking motorcycle. Virtually every journalist seemed to call them 'ugly' from their introduction and I am sure must have affected sales of this cracking bike. Looks are subjective so please think before you condemn a 'different' bike as ugly.

I take everything back from my previous comment.. lol

Finally found useful information.

[lamilumag]

some things about the ktm: crazy inspection costs at short intervalls (7500km i got one), burns fuel like crazy - 7-10 litres

[guyNbluejeans]

[TheDarco78]

[emmerich79]

Triumph Tiger...best look!!!!! Very nice bike!!!!

[stuYZFR1]

Ive not heard good things about the tank range on the KTM, also, sitting on it at the show it didn't feel comfy enough for a cross continent blast like the Triumph, so for me it would be the Tiger....and i'm really interested in one!!

[ingmar92110]

Hi, did ride both Tiger and Ktm for a few days. Tiger definitely for the Engine, and Ktm for the rest. Tiger much heavier to handle, Ktm light, easy, smooth, quality made in détails.

[quartz5577]

Would like an opinion from anyone who has ridden these 3 bikes, the KTM, Tiger and the Multi..

Which of those 3 bikes has the smoothest engine in terms vibration. So which bike has controlled the vibes the best either by engine design or other rubber mounting measures, in the bars, seat and pegs. Handlebar vibes being my greatest concern. Any opinions? Thanks.

[reisguilherme]

I would definitely go for the Tiger worth every penny!

[winksta0]

The Ducati is an Ugly looking food mixer.Personally i think i`d take the tiger coz it`s british and the KTM is too expensive for the very minor differnce.

[poneyonaKTM]

I love my SMT... Best bike I've ever had!!!

[ddkuiper]

Tiger GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[lamilumag]

im austrian and i own a bmw r1200gs adv as well as a ktm duke II - i think with this bike i can reduce to one bike that does it all :P

...still theres the 990 adventure that will rival the smt - but honestly - how often do you really have a chance to go off-roads?

[irisflem]

did he say the ducati was pretty i dont think so

[lamilumag]

yeah - it's indeed one of the ugliest bikes i've seen so far ^^

[BLACKSUNszekelyLori]

Come ooooooon! Look at that cool design, man! After that, the Tiger. Other 2 just two "oldie" for me. Cheers!

[lamilumag]

@BLACKSUNszekelyLori we're talking about the ducati ^^

[BLACKSUNszekelyLori]

I know, me too. What I meant was that I do like the design of the Ducati, those "eyes".

[dekeron]

I have a tiger 1050 as well... I wouldn't change HER with any other bike.

[zoUpne]

ho talk about vstrom in here .. hahahah. I have tiger and i think is very good bike i talk to it avery night :D what can i say more

[dmisterone]

mate, you mention the VFR ten years ago... but the mother of all these bikes is the TDM... love it!

[sysoff]

KTM FTW, I have one ... but it's EXC 450

[rcoles82]

Where is the K1300s :-)

[StijnSpijker]

You want a R1200 GS or HP2 MegaMoto to compare to there :p okay, maybe the k1300 R, hehe

[dukearty]

What a fucking terrible job you guys have!

[greekgurdian]

@dukearty this terrible job???u must be fucking joking...the best job in the world i believe

[dukearty]

@greekgurdian

i really don't think you understand sarcasm.....

[danmoto73]

nice review but would have liked to see them compared against the VFR, pretty sure it would have put a huge fat grin on all the testers faces.

next review ktm smt vs vfr please :)

[tonicroatia]

i really thought multistrada will take 2nd place it might be that brits are little biased but i don't mind i would still have the KTM if i had the money

[naythCC]

Very good quality video.

:D

Improved alot since before.

Thanks again :D

[jamiebridges123]

uhhm.

[ElitePower]

Where's the vstrom?

[hoyaxc]

Too bad we don;t get the SMT in the US

[TwoColorShoe]

I am sooooo disappointed as well. This would have been my next bike.

[sambob104]
