Hi Carl mate

I got one of the first Multis in the UK back in 2003, and I've still got it, I love it to bits, BUT this is my own opinion others may and possibly will disagree, my bike is a summer toy I don't think it will stand up to the harsh winter roads, salt n all. I have never had one problem ...

I have never ridden a Vstrom and NEVER want to, there is NO comparison between the two bikes, there that's my opinion and I've had my multi for three years. I can honestly say I will never own any thing but Ducatis.

I've got a 1000 DS cos the wife comes with me most of the time, but I've ridden th 600 they're both great bikes in different ways, the 600 was far better in town, but fell short on top end performance onth the open road.

Only you are gonna know what you want the bike for, but make sure it's ...
