New Bike Conundrum

Thank you, Joe!

 

Thanks very much, Sandi. I really miss my TTR as well, but I'm trying not to allow myself to just take the path of least resistance (hence keeping a very open mind if I can). It's all quite exciting though

 

Well, as mentioned on another thread I've now managed to swing my leg over a Multistrada V2, and I could certainly get both feet on the ground. If the low seat wasn't too plank-like I'd probably be able to flat foot it, so the next step, I think, is to take one out on a test.

Markus did mention elsewhere that he would go for the V4 but I don't need the extra power (I never carry a pillion or load myself down with massive amounts of luggage) and can do without the extra 20kg of weight plus the slightly higher/bigger all round design. The 890 engine seems to be very highly acclaimed too, by virtually everyone who's reviewed it.

I still think it may be bigger than I want in an ideal world, though.

 

Hmmm… it’s expensive, but this might just be the one. I love it!

 

Good to know, Markus. Of course I owned a classic R9T for a year or two as well. Fantastic bikes.

 

I haven’t test ridden it yet, @Sandi T, but I certainly will. The colour reminds me of my former R9T ( Tangerine Dream), and I think it’s the only paint job it comes in right now.

 

Thanks Rev, and I’m glad you like it too. Not much to dislike about it, really, although I’ve not yet tested it as yet.

To be honest I’m not sure that I should be ploughing that much money into a second bike, but YOLO

 

Have to say, this R9T 100 Years is rather nice. Could well end up vying with the R12 S, I think.

 

Yes, I have considered the Tiger (having owned a 900 GT Pro in the past). The truth is, though, that I don't do long tours that would be outwith the scope/capability of the T120.

 

Well, I'm booked in to see this beauty on Saturday. Have to admit I'm just a tad excited.
