  2. Yesterday, about to depart for the funeral today, great run to the Malverns, first time on a tourer, such an easy bike to ride quick

  9. That's what I said , but the bike feels huge compared to the sports bikes I rode previously, really notice the weight when trying to push it around
    Lovely to ride though
     
  10. I too came from sports bikes 3-4 years back, you do have to input considerably more effort to really chuck the Multi around, you feel like you've been to the gym after a few hundred miles on Welsh roads.
     
  11. I came from the S4rs Monster and the Multi felt more of a monster than the Monster!
    Having toured France Spain Ireland and the uk on it I can say it’s truly a confidence inspiring machine.
    You’ll get used to the size and it’ll fit you like a glove.

    Hope you have many happy horizons
     
  12. I found it easy to flick around, really responds to opposite lock steering, not that I'm a proponent of that art
     
  13. I already feel it fits like a glove after one ride

  14. Yes it likes a lot of that, and a bit of rear brake, they are confidence inspiring and surprisingly good on track too.
