Hey how's that silent, demure, boring wet clutch treating ya?

1) Does the MTS 1100 cruise comfortable at 80-85 MPH? After the 14 tooth c/s sprocket? My older oilheads did, but the current hexhead BMW's with the counterbalancer have a almost multi-cylinder buzz at those speeds

2) Am I correct that the centerstand is an option?

3) DP panniers, how time ...

I've never heard that complaint about the Multi..

Hmm I liked that bike better when it was called the VStrom.

Co-stanza

I can answer a couple of those..

Yes there is a centerstand. Only complaint I hear is that more aggressive riders tend to scrape it in hard turns.

Average MPG for most tends to be in the 40 range. I get exactly 40.

The Standard suspension is quite good on the MTS. If you are a middle-of-the-road ...

Stop whining.. It's like $500 of service for free!

I got mine the DAY that offer started..
