Ex Aprilia owner wanting a Multi

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by Sprocker, Nov 11, 2012.

  1. Hi all, i've never owned a Ducati, but that might change next year :smile:

    Had an RSV mille up until 18 months ago when i binned it, so took some time out to get my head together and now i'm ready to get back on the road again. I saw a multi-strada 1200 yesterday in a local shop and absolutely fell in love with it .. also drooled over a Hypermotard 1100 at Squires cafe today which was a real beauty, but i reckon the multi would be the better bike for me. Hopefully will be searching/asking some advice on here when the time comes :upyeah:
     
  2. :smile:

    Where in West Yorkshire are you?
     
  3. Hi Sprocker and welcome. If I were you I'd try them both out, but from what I read on here the Multi does just about everything so an awful lot of folk end up going down that route. I want a Multi but unless I win the lottery it won't happen!
     
  4. From Pontefract just down the road from Squires =)
     
  5. Be good to all get together (WY crew) when the weathers nice :upyeah:
     
  6. And thanks for the welcome...I'll probably go the Multi route as i'll be taking pillions and i think the hyper might be too hooligan, and too tempting to make me a hooligan lol
     
  7. I like the idea of a Multi but my short arse legs don't :frown:
     
  8. Perhaps I should have sat on it in the shop I might have the same problem =) I'm 5' 11"
     
  9. Nah you'll be fine. It's 5'5"" that has a problem :frown:
     
  10. Hello and welcome :upyeah:
     
  11. You can be a hooligan on the multi :)
    Hello and welcome
     
  12. I find it difficult NOT to be a hooligan on the Multi :upyeah:

    It makes me do it!
     
  13. I know!
    Multi is great fun fastest I have ever gone round a tight bend
    Yes it made me do it too :-D
     
  14. Welcome Sprocker. THE MULTI CAN DO HOOLIGAN TOO IF YOU WANT IT TO!!!

    I visited Squires for the first time last July on my way from a mate in Leyland across for the ferry in Hull. Good bike meeting place but normally a bit too far for me. Loomies, Box Hill, Ace Cafe and Newlands Corner are my local meeting places.
     
  15. Hiya :smile: we often go to Squires nice place have a cuppa and bike watch, hope to see you there sometime!
     
  16. Welcome in to the forum :smile: both great bikes to have the choice of, just ride both and see which takes your fancy. You can't go far wrong with either.
     
  17. i still have my Aprilia rsv mille 02 model. I have gone the other way. I have owned quite a few Ducati's in the past. Great bikes. my last was a ST3S, but i missed the sports bike. so i purchased an aprilia, great bike.

    If i had the money the Multi is a great bike, 3 bikes in 1. Its the cost with me. 3 kids and a expensive wife.
     
  18. As a recent convert to the Multistrada.......go for it. It's brilliant!
     
  19. I loved my 2000 plate mille, The faster Yellow one ;) my first V-twin and I was hooked <3

    The Multi looks fab, and for taking a pillion i reckon it would suit better ? And kids n wife will mean i'll be going the S/H route too =)
     
  20. Two years on and still not got one ! Just been through a divorce, hence the delay, but once the house is sold and my finances are freed up i'll be good to go.

    I'm booked in for a demo ride tomorrow :) I took an Aprilia Caponord out last month for a demo and really liked that, so hoping the MTS surpasses expectations as i like the look of the Duc better.
