multi or ST? Posted: Wed Apr 02, 2008 5:30 pm |

Should I buy the MTS 1100 for my first real bike Posted: Sun May 13, 2007 11:52 am |
Why it is a good starter bike:
1. Power is very linear. Makes it easy to access. It does not surprise you with a sudden spike in HP.
2. The more comfortable you are the better you will ride. Do ... |

Normal engine behavior for an MTS ?? Posted: Mon Jan 01, 2007 9:49 pm |
| If you are talking about below 4000 - 3500 rpm, then yes that is normal. If it is above that area then there is something wrong. |

| I did not purchase the hard bags initially. But went back and got them - yes they are worth it. Very well designed and thought through. They do have an odd shape, so fitting a laptop can be tricky. Mi ... |

Decisions Posted: Fri Dec 29, 2006 3:52 pm |
| I sat on the GT only, but did you guys notice the mirror placement? It seems that if you get aggressive at all the mirror is exactly where you want to place your head on a turn. |

Multistrada reliability Posted: Fri Dec 22, 2006 10:02 pm |
| Over 12K, just routine maintenance. I had an idle stumble that was self induced (arrow full exhaust system). At 12K valves were perfectly in spec. On my third set of tires (tyres). Fourth if you count ... |

Good for commuting? Posted: Wed Dec 13, 2006 11:25 pm |
| Welcome. I rode a transalp as a rental in Italy for a month. Not a bad steed, but I can understand wanting a couple of more ponies. Handling on the MTS is WAY better. As a commuter it will do fine. Yo ... |

Buy '05 or later? Posted: Fri Oct 27, 2006 2:30 am |
| Ignore those guys! They are late to the scene arrivals and are just jealous that we had one more year to ride our multistradas! Most '03 and '04's I have seen have had these issues fixed. I have longe ... |

Is the S model worth it Posted: Wed Sep 27, 2006 1:31 pm |
| Yes. I did the practical thing and got a hold over non-S model. I figured the money I saved could upgrade the bike. Wellllll.....I now have a bike that is arguably better than an S model - but I spent ... |

Old guys Posted: Wed Aug 16, 2006 6:27 pm |
| We don't have any old guys. We had some guys that were in their 70's, bought a multistrada, and within 100 miles they lost 20 years! |
