That's good to hear. I'll stash that tele number away in case of "misadventure".

Welcome Dr. Bob.

Hi,

I'm not trying to be a problem, but you're a new member (as of today) and are selling a complete Multistrada. Any chance you'd post up the VIN and give us a little history of the bike?

Just trying to make sure we're not "aiding and abetting"

I ride my bike in all kinds of weather. It reads LO for the first while when I take off, I just stay conservative until it's over 100. I still rev it up to 5500 before shifts and more importantly, I don't let it lug below 4000.

Don't forget, that is the temp at the oil cooler, not in the engine ...

1200gs will be heavier and seem taller. The front end is telelever and will have a different feel (some say more numb, others say more planted)--if you ride any of the R bikes, you'll get a sense of how it'll feel in a corner and on rough pavement.

The 1200's are much quicker than the prior 1150Gs ...

Not exactly vomiting, but...

Hmmm....

All's it needs are some apehangers with tassles and leather saddle bags.

If you're in Maryland, try State Farm.

Glad you like your bike. It sucks to ride a bike you hate or are embarrassed to be seen on.

I like mine too:

Don't know what you decided, but I was at the track this summer with 2 guys that had Cagiva GCs and one of the guys had a MTS too. They did a fair amount of DS stuff and actually preferred the GCs because of that. The guy with the GC and MTS actually dumped his MTS 1 week before the track day when ...

If you're seriously considering using a MTS offroad, I'd go with a 620 not the 1000DS. I don't think the single sided swingarm would be as bash proof and could get really expensive.
