Hi,

I test rode the Multistrada at the dealer last week. I sold my MH900E due to exteme uncomfortable riding postion. Multistrada has dirt bike riding position which is great. One problem is, it seems like when I close the throttle, my butt just slides forward. My friend toll me it's all the same for the performance bike. The sliding was not an issue on my BMW R100GS. I was never aware of the problem. Of course, R100GS only has 50hps. Coule it be the short wheelbase with 100hps? Any cure? Maybe Corbin seat? Maybe I should just accept the way it is?

Thanks,

Caliber

when you first get on the MS after a sports bike you sit back as far as you can which is not really the right place to sit on the MS, - you want to be up against the back of the tank, - super moto style, the bike handles beter that way, as I believe in that position you are able to transfer weight through the foot pegs better.
