Maybe the best example is the Ducati Multistrada. These combined purely street-oriented gear, such as 17-inch tires in sport sizes, with the upright ergonomics and tall stance of the ADV bikes. That challenge has become even more complicated by the popularity of sport-touring motorcycles with adventure-touring style. No single motorcycle could appeal to both. Some are happy to throw some soft saddlebags over the passenger seat of a race replica and look for the curviest route to the destination while others demand full weather protection, shaft drive, an electrically adjustable windscreen, integrated luggage and other features aimed at racking up big miles in speed and comfort. The sport-touring segment has always been a difficult one for the motorcycle manufacturers because it covers a wide spectrum of riders who tend to be experienced and demanding.
