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.
