BB junior bought a 748S and has had no trouble with it,including a trip to the other end of France-----BUT-------

Its a Ducati and should look beautiful.Theres no other rationale for owning one,and the Multistrada just doesnt.IMO.

:P i did say i hadnt rode one!

I've had a visual experience tho!

I do know it isn`t a looker , I`m after opinions on servicing , day to day ownership , running costs , is it worth it in the end ?

The thread isn`t titled "Do you think this is beautiful" .

I can`t sit on small sportsbikes as I am 6ft 2 tall and my hips start to hurt after a while . To continue biking I will have to consider a roomier ride and I like V-Twin engines and don`t want a V-Strom , or any of that Cruiser faffery . To be honest I want a KTM Superduke or Supermoto but until funds are better I would settle for a Multistrada for the time being .

Fair enuff.

I'm only 5.8 so dont shout but what about sports tourer stuff?

They are usually inline 4`s and I like the character of a V-twin , I even had a look at the new Triumph Tiger but it is in Superduke Territory when it comes to money .

And I won`t shout at ya if a decent comment is put forward , come forth with something less helpful and it`ll get bum rubbed

Ahhhh v-twin fair enuff.

The 2 bikes i've owned are the k9 pointy n a er6f (which is inline 4 i believe). The pointy feels miles better than the er6 ever did :P. Still what about test riding some sprints etc theres plenty of orgers with em!

Don't forget 1200 Multi is out soon. Bound to be loads of Multistrada owners upgrading. Might be a large influx of older Multis flooding the market soon!
