Congratulations! For sure it would cost Ducati more than $6,500 to build that bike today, so you got a great deal. Be sure and report back on your buying experience; I will be interested to hear about the actual condition of the bike.

The multi has great leg room; I have a 34in inseam and ride all day with no problem. Expect 45-55 mpg. Everyone loves the MTS 620 and it has a great motor (especially at $6,500)! I don't ride on the dirt or play with BMW's, so I can't help there.

I use my multistrada for sport touring, and it has more cornering clearance than I can use on public roads (no centerstand installed).

I rode the BMW800ST and agree with others who have posted. There is no possible way the BMW could be more comfortable on long trips since the riding position is ...

The dark has a single disc up front while the non-dark has dual disc brakes on the front. This would be worth the extra money for me.

I have not met anyone who didn't like this bike, just search the web for reviews by the magazines. With the tendancy towards bigger engines, the 620 could potentially be a future cult bike. I get ~55+ mpg at 75 mph with Ducati performance, whats not to like?
