Sport Bike to Multistrada Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2005 4:04 pm |
Hold out for the new Triumph Daytona 675!
I have longer than average legs and the Multistrada was easier on my knees, but it actually hurt my lower back. On a sport bike the weight is off your bac ... |

I don't think you find dual sport tires to fit those wheels.
That is the main problem. This bike has the same wheels as the superbikes and they just don't make dualsport tires in that size. Plus, ... |

05 DS1000S vs. VFR Posted: Tue May 31, 2005 3:26 am |
| I'm not sure what you're talking about. Vtec is a variable valve timing system. On the VFR it runs on 2 valves per cylinder up to 6k rpm, then switches to 4 valves/cylinder hydraulically. The probl ... |

05 DS1000S vs. VFR Posted: Tue May 31, 2005 1:35 am |
I guess I'm the minority then. I did own a Vtec VFR, as did a riding buddy of mine. We both sold ours mainly due to the abruptness of the VTEC system, and I've heard from others who hated it too.

I wondered what you were talking about when you said you bought the S4R with your trade and a little money and the Multi would have taken a little "more" money.
As to the sprocket, you are wrong. ... |

| Sounds similar to the Multi in two areas. The motor on the multi is happiest at about 5k rpm too. And, like most Ducatis, the Multi is geared too high from the factory too. Put a new countersprocke ... |

| The Falco didn't hurt my back at all. I have such long legs that after extended rides (oh, about 45 minutes or so) my knees would kill me on the Falco. |

| I'm 6'2", 215lbs and find the Multistrada the only comfortable "sportbike". The only problem I have is a bit of a bad back and the upright riding position strains my lower back over time. |
