Hello, new owner

  1. Hi all,

    just wanted to introduce myself. I used to be based in London but moved to Switzerland last year.

    I somehow managed to listen to the voices in my head and had to pull the trigger on the MTS 1200. I ended up going for one the base model with centre stand, bags and heated grips.

    The bike has just had it's first service and trip to Italy is on the cards for September :biggrin: - hopefully I'll have some pictures and a few words to share. I hope to be able to share some routes from Switzerland to share too. Anyone passing through and in the Zurich area, drop me a line.

    So far I am impressed by this bike, cross country speed is jaw dropping - seems to want to go faster and faster and it's so composed. The cops here would not be amused.

    Great forum and has been a fantastic resource for information and knowing a lot about the bike before buying, so thanks :upyeah:

  18. Thanks again to everyone. Have been a bit busy the last few days.

    Multi rider - not seen Heidi yet however there is a petrol station on the motorway called Heidi Land (seriously!) I'll try and get a shot of the Multi there if I'm going by there again.

    And Viv, thanks for being the first to say hello.

    Have a good day all.
