Re: Smaller Multistrada
Seems the world and their dog is producing mid sized adventure style bikes these days.

Re: Smaller Multistrada
I reckon the dog produced that one then.
But yes....as a commuter that would do the job. A Honda or a Yamaha would make more sense for that purpose though.

Re: Smaller Multistrada
Ducati reliability seems to be pretty good these days and the service intervals aren't that close. Plus they're not as expensive to service now as they used to be.

Re: Smaller Multistrada
You can see how Audi Management are shaping and broadening the Ducati motorcyxle range which imo can only be a good thing. I would imagine they is a pretty good market for a mI'd sized Multistrada.
You fancy one Kwacky to replace the SX ?

Re: Smaller Multistrada
Yep, I would consider one. As much as I love Duke's multi and everything it seems to do so easily, it's too big for my needs.
Brum Kawasaki have got a Versys1000 in stock at £8k. It's a 2016 model with low miles. I was intending to take that out for a spin to see what it's like. Thing is I've not got a Saturday free for about 4 weeks so I may as well hold off to see what's on offer for 2017 at the NEC bike show.

Re: Smaller Multistrada
Should be some good deals around this autumn as dealers shift old stock that isn't euro4 compliant.

Re: Smaller Multistrada
Yes....all good points well made. The local dealer once told me "Everyone thinks they're expensive to own except those that actually own them"....or sommit like that.Kwacky wrote:Ducati reliability seems to be pretty good these days and the service intervals aren't that close.

Re: Smaller Multistrada
Be interesting to see what my renewal is next year. It cost me £90 to change to the new Multi.

Re: Smaller Multistrada
I was surprised how readonable the insurance was on mine, AU$500. And I didn't ring around as I was on the bike about to ride from the shop and realised I hadn't got any so just rang my current insurer on the spot.
