I didnt take it out for too long but did use the same raods i rode my Multi in on.
Thoughts are:
The engine is a corker. Smoother than mine but with an induction roar similar to the Panigales. Pulls like a train, though doesn't feel quite as fast as mine but i think that's down to it being much smoother. The speedo said my mind was playing tricks.
Colour dash is very nice and loads of info but they are prone to scratches.
The suspension is superb. Loads of feedback, firm when you want it but still smooths out all the bumps.
The electronics keep everything nicely under control even when opening the throttle wide and fast.
Handling is a bit quicker than mine and turns very nicely indeed.
Now the bad bit: The seat is a big step backwards in my opinion. A lot of people complained that the earlier Multis were too high, so they have lowered the seat and lost that lovely high-up position which gives you a commanding view of the road. Its not as comfy either. The height is adjustable though it involves fitting a rail underneath the seat. The seat was on the low position but the adjusters were not available to fit and have to confess that the seat was poorly made and thought through probably to appease all the short arses in the world.
If they fix the seat I would buy one. everything about if other than that is better but its a very important part of the bike to me. As it is I might keep hold of mine for another year and await the updated version.
