Would I Be Making A Mistake...

  1. if I change my Multi for an 1100EVO? I've had my '10 Multistrada S for 6 years, it's been very good to me, but I fancy a change. Will I regret replacing it with an EVO? I don't do much touring any more, so it would be for Sunday rides, occasional overnights, and some city errands.
     
  2. I have a M1100S - lovely bike for hooning around on.
     
  3. Monsters are a fun bike for knocking around on. I'd recommend test riding a few Monsters (old & new) to see which one(s) feel right for you. Happy shopping!

  4. A change can be good if only for the sake of change. I loved my Multi, not the looks, but the sheer capability of it especially on tour.
    The monster is bit of a loony by comparison, I’ve just sold my 1200s and kept my ‘97 900ss for a bit of nostalgia!
    Try lots of options and enjoy the experience.

  5. Only you can make that decision....personally im done with "the forever swap out" and just keep buying them!
     
  6. Go for a 1200S

  7. If you're going to do city errands, I wouldn't do it on an Evo!
    Enjoyed my Evo once the awful low speed snatching was improved, front suspension harsh too, great bike on and off the throttle though.
    FWIW the 1100S is a better all round bike!

  8. Thanks folks, you’ve reassured my thoughts on this, I think a 1200 might be a better option.

  9. I'd buy the 1100evo but I'm biased, I've run one for 12 years and still own it
     
  10. I have just made a switch from a 14’ 1200s multi for a 06 S4RS and the giggling and huge smile confirmed I’ve done the right thing, no regrets. The multi was a great bike but just felt too civilised and the monster is just pure excitement and raw which I yurned for. Test ride some definitely.

  11. I may be at that stage, I started my Ducati love affair on a Monster and now yearn for one again.
    I love my Multistrada but it's a big bike that needs treating with some respect, I fancy a bike I can just jump on.

  12. thanks folks. my head says I need a 1200, but there's a well priced 1100 nearby. I'm concerned about the snatchy fueling I've been hearing about on the 1100, what's the best fix?
     
  13. My M1100S benefitted from a 14t sprocket and a DUC-EE (I think) eliminator thing.
    It's fine in town (for an 1100 cc 2 valve twin).
    Out of town it's a hoot.
    Ditch the wooden calipers and get some 4 pad ones or even M4s.
     
  14. Go and test ride a Monster 937 at a dealer, great smooth fuelling, fabulous 2 finger pull brakes and stopping power, great induction and exhaust noise on the stock exhausts with a wide open throttle and lovely agile handling and is lightweight too. Then at least you know more about the up to date range

  15. I have both a MTS1260PP and an M1200R. The Multi is a much better all-rounder especially for carrying capacity with pannier if you're going to run errands or staying overnight. However, the Monster is much more fun.
