Anyone know this same figure for the Ducati GT 1000 bikes?

Thank you. So about 400lbs is safe. That means I need a lightweight date.

That must be the actual weight of the bike. Dry weight is 432lbs. there is no way that it can only hold 30 lbs. How much load can it carry?

Anyone know what's the max weight that can be put on a Multistrada? I'm thinking 2-up plus the bags filled.

ok. So you feel the RT and the Multistrada are almost identical in seating position. Perfect, thank you. That was my impression too. I've sat in both though driven neither. While I love many of the features on the RT, the lightweight of the Multi is very atractive.

While I'm sure this has been discussed many times, I have not found a single post that answers my question. How forward-posture is the Multistrada? I'm close to purchasing an '08 MTS, but also considering BMW F800 ST and BMW R1200 RT. Anyone compared the seating position on those Beemers vs Ducati ...
