Other Motorcycles Forum for you to discuss anything about any other motorcycles. Good place for former (and soon to be) V-Strom owners to keep on the site even though they are without a strom.

Default awesome!

The first time I saw a Multi was at the International Motorcycle Show in

Greenville SC several years ago.

The Multi was Red, White and Green and it was (sniff) bea-u-ti-ful.

I am pleased to see you have made one your own.

There should be no problems setting up the suspension for two up riding.

Congratulations!

Mike D.

In order to avoid talking yourself back out of one, do not look up the average MPG on fuelly.com !

That is, if you were thinking that 5-10k mi/year would help re-coup the higher purchase and maintenance costs in fuel savings.

But remember, he's an eye surgeon !

Congratulations on purchasing what is arguably the highest performing dual sport bike in the category.

Must be a thrill to ride.

If ya gotta ask.......well, you know!

Congrats on a bike - it's truly a bike to lust after. I do particularly like the two little exhaust pipes peeking out the side. Enjoy, and try to keep your license on that speed demon.

Default 12Ms12

Titanium is good
Power awesome
Agility is excellent
Weight is low
Provides that slim Pickens experience, like riding the hbomb to target in Dr. strangelove

41 mpg when riding like a sane person, but but that's not the purpose is it....
Expensive? Yes.
Worth It? I could say depends how you ride
Sport mode provides violent acceleration, if you want

Excellent comfort for this 5level lumbar fusion victim....

Default six month review/update

Eye Surgeon????? Do you still check in to this site. Curious how you like it after nearly six months? Any info will be appreciated from fun stories to MPG and maintenance issues.

Just curious to hear from anyone with direct experience beyond salivating over pictures or first impression test rides.
