Multistrada 1200s

[Deleted account 251212001]

Bought this last month, very light to wheel out of the garage compared to my gs adventures. Love the performance, fork dive a bit strange at first but its not bad after a bit you get used to it. Standard screen was rubbish but some cheap spacers appear to have sorted it. Got my biking modjo back and added a honda transalp for use over winter for the commute.

Anyone else got a multi?

Nice bike. How old is it, looks brand new?

Mutly

Picked mine up last Friday. Got a great deal. Traded in my RT, also got the free touring accessories, GPS, top box and touring screen. I need to try some of those spacers for the screen. SHMBO said it was more comfortable than the RT after a 1000km ride back home. Except there isn't much room between rider and pillion with the top box on. The seats are definitely mo better than the RT. I absolutely love the bike. It'll do everything I want to do and more.

Very nice. Is that one of the latest 2013 models with the new fangled skyhook suspension?

No its the last of the 12's with the even better ohlins . I did consider waitin for the new one but figured there isn't much difference. The new LED lights on the 13 are pretty blingy though. But I couldn't be happier with it.

Cheers Nutty, its a 60 plate just gone two year old but came with just 2500 miles on her so yes in very good condition, have since fitted a ventureshield kit and now on 3200 mies. Bought it from my local main dealer with the nav, exhaust and top box included which would have been extras new, it was a good price too.

Love the colour, different but is a touch of class, the spacers are aztec spacers, you can just about make out near the mirror on 1st photo, made a big difference for £30! Enjoy good fun arent they!

The Multistrada was top of the list when it came to replacing my GS, but the corrosion on all three slightly used models I looked at put me off

If Audi can improve the qulity of the plated parts then I'll definitely be looking at one again in a couple of years when/if I decide to change the RT

 

[GS TRV]

nice looking bike indeed.

I had considered it when elling my S1000 but im afraid the price put me off.

No , the real McCoy . Had to have a lie down when I'd put a deposit ( money version ) on it lol .
