I just did a 1500 mile 4 day trip on my `04 Multistrada and didn't find it too bad. I would change windscreen to a taller one (the `05 I think already have one) and add handguards to block the wind before I did a long trip again. The windscreen for better protection and to cut wind noise since I ...

Neil,

Sorry can't trade, I've already have an `03 749S in yellow and a Multistrada. :D

I bought the 749S first to replace my 900SS. I started using 749S more and more for commuting to work because gas prices with a 4x4 truck and 110 mile round trip were killing me. The ride was 95% highway and ...

Blue,

I picked the Multi after riding the Triumph Tiger, Aprilia Caponard, and BMW 1150GS. If the Ducati ST3 would have been out at the time, I may have gotten that.

Out the first 3 my next choice was the BMW. The Multistrada won out for several reasons. The first being it was the best handling ...

I've ridden mine on a few dirt and gravel roads, it wasn't that bad. I was going pretty slow, the upright seating with the wide bars helped. It was definitely better than when I got stuck going nearly 10 miles on a dirt, very loose gravel road on my 900SS, I thought I was going to crash every few ...

I think that for the type of roads I plan on riding here in Central Texas, (up/down and winding with a variety of surface conditions) the Mulistrada will traverse them the quickest, the nimblest and the most comfortably

Finally, I'm half Italian!!!

New to Central Texas (Round Rock) I got my ...

It's not really a question of the cost but the ability to DIY. I was hoping that someone had some knowledge of working on a MS since I feel doing your own maintenance is a fun part of motorcycling. :

I haven't done the valves myself on my Ducati (this is my 4th) one. I've had a total one shim ...

I test rode the BMW R1150GS (regular not the Adventure), Aprilia CapoNard, Triumph Tiger, before settling on the Multistrada. The BMW was a close second, due to the cost, weird linked brakes, and shear size. The windshield and gauges being so far out made it if feel like I was riding from the back ...

Hello, I'm new to the list. I got my Multistrada about 3 weeks ago. I still have a 749S, and for most riding the Multistrada does the trick and it does it without a lot of effort. I rode the 749S for the first time in 3 weeks the other 30 miles of twisty roads, and 70 of straight line highways, for ...
