Hello all
This is my first post here, great forum, lots to learn, been rideing for 20 years now, had all dirtbikes one can own, a 916, 900 ss/sp, and everything in between, now I am into the adventure riding thing, pack your crap and goooooooo.
What I am getting at here is that I test rode a new Tiger first on Sat , cool kinda, but went great in the gravel and light duty off road, then I went to the Duck shop and rode the Multi, HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!
I neeeeeeeed 1 bad, but will the damn thing go on gravel ok, I did not get to try it, or maybe a gravel/rocky rd, going exploring is just that, you don't know what you are going to get untill you are in it.
I don't mean enduro racing or anything, just exploring mild JXXP trails and such.

I think the bike is up to it but the street tires that are fitted from the factory are not going to be much use in the dirt or gravel.

Hi there,
also Italian reviews told MTS is ok for Street and LIGHT off-road... Obviously it is not a KTM or a pure enduro.. but our fun are curves (turns) on a mountain pass, isn't it?
Regards and lamps! |

Well, last year I did a gravel pass in the alps, abolutely no performance problem...
but;
every little stone beeing thrown from the wheels against the fairing hurts a lot, the sandy dust sitting on the tank wants to be better beeing blown off gently and anyways, would you take a fancy beauty out for camping?? |
