Multi 1200 S - Any long term issues? Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2012 12:18 am |
I'm trying to do about the same- sell off a couple of bikes and perhaps get an S touring.
How much engine/radiator heat comes up to the rider? My ST4s blasts me with hot air unless I'm going 45-50 ... |

Is there a place to rent one for the day?
