Wanna buy » Can't believe the height

[taylorduc]

Had a client drop off a Multi today. The first Multi that's I've ever ridden. I can't believe this thing is so tall. I only have a 30" inseam and was on my toes. It's already bad enough to be on my toes on the 900SS, but this thing is huge... I was scared of tippng it over. had to have on my taller guys pull it into the garage.

All you Multi guys must be giants.... 5'7"

When I put a ohlins suspension in rear, I adjusted the height about 1 inch higher.
But I'm only 5'10"

You get used to the height.

I manage with only a 28" inside seam

Bike that fits me like no other-BMW1150GS Adventure 35.4"seat height, but it's just too heavy
Bike that I must buy-Multistrada-fits almost as well and more maneuverable

6'4" 220LBS 36" inseam-Hung like Horse Strong like Bull

With being just a little under 5'4" I can still just about manage so stop complaining!!!!

5'7" and a 30" inseam and it's fine - yes, I'd prefer an inch lower - but never had an issue with it - you'll get used to it and once it's moving and your feet are on the pegs you'll forget it's "too tall" for you -

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 to look into that Ohlins rear, another inch would be nice.

It's cute watching my little 5'-7" wife try to climb aboard.

YES SIR!!! ALL MTS Owneras are enormous! They can all jump rivers, hop valleys and did I mention that we are all MODELS?

No seriously, the MTS is a little bit high, but once you start moving you realize how perfect the weight distribution is and how nimble in traffic she can be.

I am 5'-8" and I could only get my tootsies on the ground when I got my Multi, set at lowest possible ride height. No trouble riding it solo but I couldn't get my heels down to hold it steady while a pillion was getting on.
Solved the problem by buying a pair of Johnny Reb boots with about 2" heels.
Now all is sweet.

Funny, I always forget about the height of the bike the instant I'm rolling. The trick is not to get stuck at stop lights. Who wants to stop anyway, right?

Thats funny this post was about the height of the MTS. I have thought about going to the Ducati so I can finally put both feet on the ground. The KTM is tall you need to be over 6ft to touch flat footed.

At 5'10" the MTS-S fits like a glove.

I had a hard time deciding between the 950 Adventure & the Multi, I bought the Multi and it was the absolute right choice. But I'm fairly sure I am also going to get a KTM when I see the right deal. I'd love to start heading up over the mountains on one of those..

Do you have the "S" 950? That thing is gigantic....really fun.

1 of the reasons i love my multi is i am 6'3 300lbs get called a big dude all the time and on 95% of all bikes i rode i feel like i am to big for the bike that always made me feel if i want to feel like i fit i would have to stick to full dressed touring bikes but then come the multistrada and my life was saved ok maybe not my life but u get the point

haha, when we went to the BMW/Moto Guzzi/Ducati dealer, the Multistrada was the only bike in the room I fit on. I'm 6'5" and sitting on the bike or stadleing the bike, my feet are Flat on the ground, knee's bent slightly. Riding I have my tailbone up against the passenger seat, and its even more comfortable if I remove that seat so I can sit an inch back father.
