Valve Guide Issues on the 1000 & 1100 Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 10:37 am |
| I did not have Dave at Redline do my guides, but wish I had. I used another shop and regretted it. They're done, but it took a lot of effort to get my heads back and cost more than it ought to have. |

Multistrada In an Urban Environment Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2009 7:00 pm |
| Simple: my traffic consists of approximately 2-6 miles each way, each day. My commute is a total of around 45 miles. Options for side streets with enjoyable lack of arrow-straightness are there as wel ... |

'06 1000S here
I commute to the DC area every day, and year-round, including this time of year; I'm on the Multi more often than not. Traffic sucks in my Jeep, it sucks in my wife's automatic Volvo ... |

Any last words? Posted: Tue Dec 30, 2008 1:10 pm |
What they said.
I loved one, bought it, enjoyed it, sold it, and am now considering another.  For me it's between the ST3S or ST4S and an 1100S Multi. Strangley, I find the Multi more att ... |

Long distance rides Posted: Wed Dec 12, 2007 6:49 pm |
It's going to be awesome in comparison.
It needs a new seat. That's the single biggest complaint I had after a weekend last year with somewhere over a 1000 miles.. my ass hurt to levels I couldn't ... |

Exhaust Smell.............. Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2007 4:39 pm |
I most definitely do smell like exhaust after getting off the bike. Always annoyed me, but figured it's just another quirk...
Is this not common, then? I know I've had exhaust leaks often enough th ... |

seat? Posted: Thu Oct 26, 2006 1:58 pm |
I'm going to be investing in an aftermarket saddle though perhaps not until late winter (no long rides coming up).
My '04 saddle was "good enough" for 2 years and 7k miles... until I did ... |

Buying Used 2004 MTS1000 Posted: Tue Feb 14, 2006 6:31 pm |
take it for a test ride...
some folks have complained about the gages (malfunctioning I guess... mine are fine), the kickstand, the brakes (shudder at low speeds)...
I'd say general cleanliness ... |

Can't believe the height Posted: Fri Mar 18, 2005 7:37 pm |
| 6'-4" 230#... Not huge, but big enough that there are few bikes that are actually comfortable. The MTS was, hands down, the most comfortable unless I were willing to pose aboard a Hardley... I'll have ... |

Clockwork nailed it... I can't wipe the SE Grin off my face for hours after I get off the bike.  
Really, it's very simple. And, no, it's not any version of a Beamer. It's ... |

I rode a couple BMWs before the Multistrada - mind you it was a '04 R1150GS and a '04 1000 DS, not the 1200GS v 1000DSS, so for what it's worth.
I was comfortable on the BMW, confident it was a go ... |
