  1. Ha, try one, and try keeping up with one, sportbike boy :p ;)
     
  2. got to say, I was behind aircon on his last year and I was impressed. I'm no racer or star, in fact it turns out I can't even make it forty feet from my drive with out binning it! Credit where its due though, the mutley has some poke

  5. The multi is a seriously good bike to ride and not exactly a looker Bradders. Having now moved onto the KTM, the multi felt easier to ride faster although I'm picking up the pace on the KTM now. Finish is about a million times better on the KTM and the missus prefers the pillion seat.

    I think they just need to fix the multi's issues and make it into that premium product they try and tell you it is and it would be a cracking bike.

  6. Aye that's what I am talking about !
     
  7. I'm pretty happy with mine, but if I had to list something
    Slightly bigger tank
    Some decent underseat storage
    Having a colour screen/display - by that I mean something that's all in colour, rather than just mostly black and white, with a red/green fuel gauge!
    Heated seat
    A working rear brake!

  12. I'd like to add 5>10minute remote tick over system, so my bike engine is warm but the bike will not engage gear box. Basically its running for a set time period then turns off; winter gimmick.
     
  13. Say the 950 Multi at the Milan show. Very neat and addresses some of my wants. Shame the single sided swinger had to go, I would have swapped the modes, traction control and Digi dash for that.

  15. Fair point, but why would I want to take the wheel off on holiday? I couldn't repair a tubeless tyre on the roadside if it was beyond plugs and gas cartridges. I just carry the recovery number in my phone.
    I have never had a problem with with my 916 wheel.

    You have obviously had a bad experience.
     
  16. Fuck me its sort of happening, about 20 seconds ago I've gotten to the part of the new Audi SQ7 pdf dash. It can come with 'audi virtual cockpit - optional nightvision assist'....which is something I'd like to see added to motorbikes with a floating speedo/HUD system. I'm only looking at the vehicle in envy but the technology will trickle down into other markets. Side-impact warning & heated mirrors take precedent although this sort of stuff needs to be married with a helmet visor/helmet maker. Nobody cares about one off airbag systems for clothing, they want technology that avoids accidents in the first place!
     
  17. BMW are designing a head up helmet
