Re: MTS620 of MTS620 dark??

I think there will be a Multistrada 620 or 695 for 2007. It would not make sense to drop it from the line-up.

Massive (not!) price reduction on Multistrada 620 in Oz.

The price for a Multistrada 620 has been reduced from Aus$14,500 to Aus$14,000. On-the-road would be about Aus$15,000. At an exchange rate of .745 this equates to US$11,175. I see in one of the other threads that someone in Denver picked one up for US$7,725 'out the door'.

I guess the price ...

Re: Multistrada Insurance: Down-Under

Try Swann Insurance, and also Shannon's. Shannon's has done insurance for classic/enthusiast cars for some time and only in the last few weeks they have been advertising on TV here in Melbourne, using Daryl Beattie, that they are now insuring bikes; I think for riders with some/several years ...

Re: muti 620 vs vstrom 650

Another correction by soslow: the retail price of the 620 Multistrada in Melbourne is $14,495; on road $15,930. The 1000 is $18,995/$20,540. The 1000S is $21,795/$23,410.

I went to a couple of dealers today and just sat on the 620. It fitted me well (5 feet 9.5 inches); the handlebars were nicely ...

Re: muti 620 vs vstrom 650

Here in Melbourne, Australia, I think the 620 Multistrada retails for Aust$15,500.00 (plus on road costs) and I have seen the V-Strom 650 for $10,000.00 (plus ORC; I think the $10k was reduced from $11k or $12k). That's a huge price difference.

The Ducati's wheelbase is 1459mm; Suzuki 1540mm ...
