I love the bike but have had continual trouble with it. IMO, it would b ... |

Price advice for 2006 Multi 1000 DS (+ 620 vs 1000 question) Posted: Thu Apr 24, 2008 8:29 pm |
(1) The 1000 is really nimble on any road.
(2) Not sure if the maint interval is the same but you have a wet clutch I believe with the 620 so that is a bit more durable. I don't think they suffer fro ... |

Gods bless Ducati for building the Multistrada, one of the most forward-thinking motorcycles ever.
But it is a shame that they can't seem to build a problem-free motorcycle even when they try to.

Yeah, but I don't normally go seek out the prices on e-bay or elsewhere. I believe ignorance is bliss.
I can honestly say that after 10 months and 12k miles I like the bike today more than I liked ... |

Engine/Exhauast heat effect on rider? Posted: Fri Sep 29, 2006 2:53 pm |
| Nah, that is not the cast with the Multi. The 2V motors don't seem to radiate the same amount of heat as the 4V ones do for some reason. |

They are both a good deal. If you plan on getting an exhaust anyway then the one for $7600 might be a better deal.
I prefer the 1k 'cause I am a bigger guy and like how roomy it is.

Typically a beginner bike and a two-up touring bike are not really two compatible things.
We have the 1k and do some two-up riding on it. I could not speak to the 620 but I would imagine that it m ... |
