I just went to the Ducati shop to get myself a Ducati Hypermotard. I'm planning on trading in my KTM LC4E (no real off-road roads here, so a waste of money, though a nice bike).
I fell in love with the Hypermotard when it was first shown. I sat on it, felt good, though I'm big and the bike is small, it didn't feel strange.
Then the salerep came along, and everything went down hill from there on in. He said the HM is an incredible bike, fast, sleek, light, and mostly savage at high revs.
Since I'm looking for a local bike (long distance is the GS's domain), he said NOT to buy the HM, but go for the Multistrada. Same engine, tamer, but a hell of a lot more comfortable.
He said, you tire real quickly on the HM, while the MS is easy and great for countryside rides.
he has both in stock, and even has a 2nd hand MS with 1400 kilometers on it, so it's not a question of trying to pawn one on me.
So.... what do you think I should do??? The Hypermotard is sexy and beautiful, the Multistrada is just beautiful, but more comfy....
Opinions... please
