950 v 1200 Hmm I see it as 32B cup v 44E cup analogy , yeah both will entertain you, but with the biggies you can also show 'em off to your mates and know they also want a rack that big to play with
The problem is, according to the latest "YouTube Star", that the POS doesn't even have a rev counter, never mind LED lights, skyhook suspension, etc ,etc, etc. What we need now is more Youtube stars who know FA. Excuse me whilst I email Ducati to tell them they forgot the rev counter. I know, because Youtube told me so... Is that the new "journalism standard"? When offered the handbook, you just chuck it on the floor and ride off as my Youtube audience are waiting.... If I made such a stupid and fundamental mistake, then I would take the video down immediately out of embarrassment at being such a dimwit. That is no longer the way when self-publicity is the only thing of importance....Thank you Youtube!
And I will forget about getting an old 748/749 for thrashes and track days. Gonna just concentrate on simplifying my life. So, ultimately, I will just have one bike. Either a Multistrada 1260 or 950 bought nearly new or new. As it will be a keeper, I'll not be worried about depreciation and so buying new is not ruled out - it just depends upon what's around at the time.
Yes and discounted it. BMW has p1ssed me off a bit. They were always known as shaft drives and the forerunner to this bike, the 800, which a mate has, is belt drive, but now, BMW can't make their mind up. They seem to be happily dumping shaft and belt drive with a lot of new bikes being chain drive. What with not being able to make up their mind and quietly not building the bikes in Germany any more, I am quite put off the brand. Plus, in Bristol, they dumped Bath Road Motorcycles, who were Bristol's long-term BMW dealer, and appointed Dick Lovett who have always been a posh car dealer with zero motorcycle history. Whilst quietly manufacturing in the far east, they want to dump grubby motorcycle dealers and sell bikes at their swanky car dealers. I have bad history with Lovett's on cars. With bikes, the gig seems to be that you pay over the odds to use a bike once or twice per year. Definitely never get it dirty and only flounce into the dealer for a coffee once you are ready to replace the bike because the tyres are worn or even a bit grubby. I might go down to Bath Road Motorcycles and have a look at older 800s but if I needed spares, I don't think that I can face going to Dick Lovett's.
