Howdy. I'm considering a Ducati to replace my SV650. I am not a big guy - 5 feet 9 and 145 pounds - so maybe the Multistrada 620 works for me. Can anyone tell me how the 620 EFI Ducati compares with a carburated Suzuki 650?

Can't say about the EFI 620 as I have the 1000. However i have ridden both EFI and Carb sv's. I can say Ducati has done a great job with the EFI. Much better than the SV. The EFI SV is rather jerky off the throttle. The Duck is smooth. One of the best on throttle off throttle transitions I have seen on EFI. I love the Carb SV because of that same transition. It lends itsef to very smooth transitions when leaned over on the apex of the corner getting back on throttle.
