  1. Hello

    Thanks for having me, I have been reading some threads and looking forward to more.

    To avoid the obvious advice I wont mention my experience level, but I have fallen in love with a 2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200, im pretty sure it isnt an “S” or tourer or anything special, but it is beautiful, I have left a deposit and will collect Friday, just before I part with the bulk of the money I thought I would ask here if im not making a huge mistake buying this particular model, im not 100% but dont think it has the clever suspension.

    I have been riding a V-strom 1000 so I think the size will be fine (6’2” fat git)

    I dont care about hyper performance, I will be commuting daily on it in all weather. Also look for any excuse to ride, country roads, motorways, lots of trafficky stuff.

    Good idea?

    Thanks :)

  11. Thanks :) not sure what the "Bin" thing is?

    May I ask how I leave a "funny" or a "like" on a post please, some posts have had me belly laughing but can't find the button?
