Re: Long distance rides

GOTJ, I believe it would. I have a 33" inseam so it sounds like we probably sit about the same. I use the Airhawk most of the time and it adds about a 1/4 to 1/2" to seat height. In clean air there is no appreciable buffeting. When passing a semi or "drafting" one I still get a very slight buffeting ...

Re: Long distance rides

Second the Airhawk in the medium cruiser size, although the '07 stock seat isn't too bad. At 6'1" I found the stock windscreen to deliver too much wind to the chest/head at speeds above about 65 mph. I fitted a laminar touring screen which eliminates the chest blast and bobble head at higher speeds ...

Re: Road Test

After lurking here for about 6 months and reading every review I could find I bought an 1100S with no test ride. I did sit on a 1000, I could have got a test ride but my mind was already made up. I wouldn't necessarily recomend that route, although I have no regrets in doing it that way. I find the ...

Re: Test road a 2007 Multi 1100S-somethings got to be wrong

Well Philip, there are a lot of nice Airheads out there at reasonable prices. :D Don't know why that Multi was rough. Mine has been smooth since day one (3500 and up). I have an '81 R100RT and I find the Multi to be slightly smoother at cruising speeds. They both have their sweet spots though, with ...

Re: I'm sold on the Multistrada but before I buy- how reliable?

I must admit I was a little leery of Ducati's spotty record on any number of issues. I think they are working real hard change perceptions. For instance I'v had mine one week with no problems. The clock even keeps good time. It's nice to know how long uou have been waiting for pickup. :lol:

Engine/Exhauast heat effect on rider?

Did a search but can't seem to find much. So. How much exhaust and /or engine heat does the pilot experience on a hot day? Especially at sub-sonic speeds. I have rode a friends 998 and the exhaust heat seems problematic to me. Thanks.
