And I'm the friend who purchased Kirky's Multi. I will try and look after her for him as I think he already regrets parting with her...
Some years ago I desperately wanted to like an XR, but we didn’t gel as the vibrations through the bars was ridiculous, I know it’s had a number of updates since then so I’m sure that issue was fixed. I also tried the KTM about the same time, which was also beast, but not as well made at the BMW or MTS. Instead I went through a couple of GSAs, RTs and an MTS. Im still happy with the current Multistrada so don’t see me swapping for the foreseeable. Hope it’s everything you want it to be, safe riding
