Re: Do Dealers Get Incentives?

Re: Are Demo Multis Not A Good Buy

I think a Multi x demo is a good buy... not really a hooligans bike after all.....

Re: UK - Top box and/or rack

Very reasonable for the top box plate, but I had seen them at HG for a bit less!!

Re: The new Japanese Multistrada

Glad the troll has gone; I am sure that the Kwaka has probs and of all the Jap bikes it is probably the worst build quality.

Re: Reliability

Ducatis are a quirky breed of bikes, if you take this into account you will enjoy it for what it is. I own a BMW and a Mts and i don't compare the 2 brands as I have them for different requirements.. I don't even compare the same bikes in a brand as IMO you can't really do that..

Re: Just landed

I also think that year had an issue with the fuel gauge, but soft valve guides is the main prob i think??

Re price; has it a full dealer service history etc... in the UK that bike would ...

Re: multi or ST?

A bit harsh carducci! :wink:
I have ridden the Triumph, my mate has one, and the ST4(I owned one) and the VFR quite a lot..now I have a Mts.. They all have their merits; the VFR is the least exciting of them, but goes very well, just has no character; the Triumph triple is a lovely engine and does ...
