the multi is an amazing machine, and all of the "i wish it had" has been done on the new model. its a technological dream, and the motor is amazing on them. I'm still on a 2010, but its still my favorite bike of all time that i have owned. i like a lot of bikes, i have owned a lot of bikes, but the multistrada is by far #1 in my list. the engine is sublime, the handling is amazing, great brakes, good seating position. you can tour all day on it, or do a track day. a lot of the gripes i have with my bike would be windscreen buffeting, low end fueling issues, no cruise, and soft spring rate in the forks. the model addresses all these issues and adds a bevy of additional items that make the experience more enjoyable. that being said, i know a few people who have ridden the bmw version of the multistrada, and rave over it, saying it is the better of the 2 bikes. i can not attest to this, but i just have lost the lust for an inline. the twin just sounds better, feels better coming out of corners, and the noise of the L twin is just amazing. you could saying I'm bias on this for sure, but again, of all the bikes I've owned/ridden, the multistrada always puts a smile on my face.
