If you're doing mostly freeway with occasional 2 up riding, and you're used to a VFR then you might want to consider a used ST3. There seem to be plenty available for pretty descent prices. Just an thought...

I looked into those, and to be honest, they just didn't appeal to me. There was nothing ...

Just one point to maybe help narrow yer search: if you came off VFRs, yer gonna wanta 1100. Me thinks, anyway.

Yes, I do want the 1100, but fiscal constraints limit me to a lower price point. Hmmmm

The little monster is so uncomfortable, you have sex with the tank
all day.

Too funny. Must schedule a Monster vs. Multistrada test day

You could also try a Triumph Tiger 1050...their version of the Multi...supposed to be a great bike, and should be a fair amount cheaper.

Nah, I'm not interested in Triumphs to be honest. I usually stick with Hondas but the MTS and 696 are quite intriguing. A good and well loved black or red 1100 ...

I do a like the HyperMotard, but being military, I'll eventually move to a locale where I'll take longer rides and need a bit more range and wind protection. Don't forget the occassional 2-up riding for the kidos and Mrs.

Wife gave me the green light on a new Ducati (a moment of silence please... I love her!). Now the heated internal debate begins and I'm stuck in a quagmire. Of course, the lower the payments the better, but since my last 2 Honda VFR800's, I've been without 2-wheeled motoring for about 1.5 years.

I ...

Gale,

I'm confused. What did you mean about the red MTS620 from OKC BMW/Ducati? Is that the one for sale?

Yes, I've found a red MTS620, but now the dealer's being cagey with the price. I think it makes the most fiscal sense (or cents) to go for the MTS620 vs. an MTS1000/1100. I do prefer the SSSA, but then again, I'm doing mostly commuting. Yellow I hear is faster... But the new red comes with a ...

I've found a new (6 miles on the clock) MTS620 and the dealer's asking $7300. Is that a good price? It's a 2006 red, but I'm really searching for a yellow MTS620. I've yet to find them anywhere. Any thoughts? What year is yellow, just 2005?

I've ridden a MTS1000 and absolutely adored it. Will I be ...
