In my opinion ONLY at race track you will notice the diference... :wink:

I will suggest 1000DS.

PS: after all i think that OHLINS manufactured in Japan now (if anyone knows something diferent, please report)

PS2: i use to uprgade SHOWA with the help of my local OHLINS dealer and they are ...

My advice buy a Multi, it could be more reliable

THANX Peter!



PS: sorry mum...

dear Valitalian,

i think that your problem has an easy solution...
if you get payed with US dollars, BUY IN US! and rent one for your vacations

if you get payed with Euros... BUY IN US! and do you vacation in US also!

I'm afraid I'm not kidding... Would you like an evidence? Perhaps a photo of me, standing in front of the factory with the daily local newspaper?

oh, ok i believe you... but some snicky photos from the mechanics working on multis while they talking on their cellphone... will always be acceptable ...

oh, come on you lucky $^%@%!

if you living 500m from the factory, the only problem will be... the weather!

enjoy!



PS: i' m wantering what are the other bikes that you ride since now?

it's the first time in my life that i feel the need of medication to relax!

i wish you a fair trade and a multi that fit your needs

the S4R is a beautifull naked bike, just like the most of you describe it...

it also has the same (or a bit higher) price than the multi.. (at least here in Greece)

so, if you find it raugh for your needs, i recoment you to give it back to the dealer (your bike is new!) and buy a multi or a S2R ...

For my way of seen, multi is a great bike to ride everyware!

ofcource the first 1 or 2 years i wouldn't program trips over 4000km, to give the bike (and me) time for settings or improvements.

ps: i don't have good sence of easy riding and i respont to japs even after a 3 hours ride ...

i found in the multi (not my own yet... :( ) the same comfort that i found on GS and TDM.
if you have a covered place to keep her, i think that you will love it.
i am getting tired over the 180km distance and the only reason that keep me away from her are my savings...
i 'm 1,81m and 85kgm. I am ...

(750.00 GBP = 1,091.38 EUR) just to get used... :mrgreen:
and it's about the same ammount to the rest of europe

as concern the multi, i have to advise you this:

if you expect a motorcycle that give you GREAT FUN, you got the spirit!
if you think that will fit you from the begining... MAY THE ...

dear friend...

i have previously drove a 620 monster for a couple of weeks... it has a nice and reliable moteur but you get used to it's power quickly enough!

i think that the money that you are going to spent is already enough without being too far from a used 1000DS (here they have announced ...

you start making me happy!



im litle hurry...

Thanx for all

i sweeped by my rapid sadness and wrote some exaggerations.

I feel the need to apologize to everyone :oops:

Here are the some thinks that i will search for when i be able to :pray:

1) Front system tune at breaking procedure (classic!)
2) Leaking oilines (like you propose)
3) Every little ...

When i start this threat i wasn't look at problems area...

after two days of reading i came to a conclusion:

when i manage to buy a multi i will have to do almost everything that allready do the last three years converting my R100RS from the begining to an everyday bike!

I'm not so happy about as ...

ok i 've never had to maintenance a multi!

but just tires and oil?

in my opinion 2 valve twins have an easier (cheaper) and understundable maintenance...
That doesn't means "just tires and oil", ofcource they have a lot of "small thinks" that need the experience of a pro! NOT that is a bad think ...
