I am currently a Ducati Scrambler Icon owner. Icon is being sold...and I am in the dilemma between the Multi 950 and the Desert Sled.
I am 5' 7". My inseam is 30.3. I weigh 165 with gear on. I am not strong in the arms. I won't have the chance to test ride the Multi950 only the DS. I think the Multi950 is more versatile but I fear that the Multi950 will be hard to lift the stand when parked on uneven ground or on inclined tarmac. Generally in urban environment and everyday use the Multi950 will feel tougher to handle than the Desert Sled. I won't have a second bike. One for all trades. Everyday commute a bit of off-road a bit of highway riding etc...so what's gonna be? Multi950 or DS?
I sold the Icon 'cause it was a harsh over bumps on higher speeds (b roads or a roads) and too cramped on longer dustances stretches. My previous bikes before the Ducati Scrambler Icon were BMW G650gs and BMW F650gs (800cc). |

Hi,
when you throw your leg over the saddle, you've got to use the "swing" of your leg and body to push the bike on its wheels. In other words, when you throw your leg over the saddle you let your body "follow" the swing of your leg. It'll push against the bike, which will get it up. Almost no arm force needed. No risk of tipping over if you're not too overly wild. |
