Re: 1000s or 1100s black preferred

Hi Rider11

Both are great bikes, indeed.
The 1100 has more torque, the 1000 is probably the better sports engine as IMO it revs quicker.
Go for an S, if possible.
Colours ... black is always faster, but as you know: Colours doesn't matter.

Kind regards

Re: WTB 1200S 2012

Good choice, well done.
AND: As it is not a DVT ... you'll be happy.

ENJOY!

Questions:
Has the mapping been modified?
And has the Oehlins upgrade been done?

And, just to consider:
It's worth to plan a suspension maintenance, if not yet done.

Kind regards

Re: WTB 1200S 2012

Hi Fryn

The price seems quiet high to me for this amount of km, but I have to admit:
The bike is well equiped, and 6month of guarantee ... this is quiet well.
And all Multis are good for more then 100k Miles.

And 2 other points I can't see in the offer, but are rather important:
- Does the bike ...

Re: Which model should I choose ?

Hi HootOwl

The S-Model is not a great changer.
The comfort is adjustable, and if you go for bad roads, the adjustable ride high is a big plus.
At the negative side are:
- less transparency if you run fast or at tracks
- the Oehlins makes only sense with the add-on box available to provide a ride ...

Re: WTB after market seat for 620, 1000, 1100

Hi maxredline

I have a DP gel seat ... PN me, if you like one.
But have a look at the search-function:
the seat is not the issue with regard to the comfort.

Re: First Bike 2010 Multistrada 1200s or 2012 Vstrom 650

Take the Multi.
If I bike isn't fun, it doesn't make any sense to ride it.
And "Frau Strom", as we call this the Suzuki here in the German talking part, isn't fun at all.

So: The Multi is the right choice. And you have so many electronical gizmos to save you ...

Re: Which one?

+1 at keener.

Hold on: Which improvements the 1100 should have the 1000 haven't?
It's mostly the 100 extra ccm, the 2 additional horsepowers (which you can't feel, fastfaz), the 20Nm extra-torque (which you can feel), the frame improvement (on which I never had any issue with the 2 2004-MTS I've ...

Re: Which one?

Hi Motogummer

First: Have a look at this ... http://www.multistrada.net/forum/viewto ... 81&start=0

Management summary: Take the 1100. The extra 20 Nm is worth the extra money.

Cheers

Re: Looking to buy 04 Multistrada.....

Hi TwistedRider

Non of them: Handguards first.
I suggest the ones from the 1200 Multi (can be put on the 1000/1100 MTS as well) and the mirror problem get's solved with it.
Or you go for any aftermarket handguards.
Use the search engine in this forum and you'll find plenty of entries on that.
