Hoblick Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Ducati Multistrada 1200S touringmore i read up on this bike the more i like it.i dont think it would suit me very well for 2 up, but for a solo tourer it would be amazing.i definately need to ride one at some point.ill make sure i get down to motohio's ducati demo day when it comes around next year.

Bad324 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 if one of those was good enough for tight ass Pauly to open up his wallet, I assume its a phenomenal bike and good choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf1000ride Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hopefully they will have the demo bikes next year and the multi is one of them. I don't think Ducati came through town this year. I have talked with a few guys that own them and they all love them. I just can't get past the price tag on the thing yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-bus Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 For a 2nd bike, it will be a cruiser... Guzzi maybe? Triumph? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ault Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Second bike would be a road king for sure. need bags but wont ugly up the bonne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 If you get a Multistrada, I suspect the Street Glide will do a lot of sitting in the garage. Justsayin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 The ninja 1000 was recently named bike of the year pretty much because it costs half of the mulitistrada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoblick Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I dont think id mind paying the money for bike with superior components, nit saying the ninja isnt a good bike, i just prefer the adjustability and better technology in the duc. Hopefully when its time to buy i can find a used one at a decent price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 ya, sorry - was typing that from my phone in the hallway at work. I don't mean to knock either bike; just saying that Cycle Magazine(?) based a lot of their "best bike" criteria on value this year, because of the global economy.They openly question how a bike that's down 65 horsepower and up 45 lbs. to last year's winner (the BMW S1000R) can be the best bike in 2011. If you're looking to tour, the ninja could do that, but not as well; certainly not in stock form anyway. And we all know you don't like to upgrade your stuff ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 If I could only have 1 bike, the Ninja 1000 w/hard bags would probably be it. With the MTS 1200 you pay a lot, but you get a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the MTS 1200 you pay a lot, but you get a lot.The 1000 looks like a do-all bike. I'd love to sit on one. That stock can is god awful though.

vf1000ride Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 The 1000 looks like a do-all bike. I'd love to sit on one. That stock can is god awful though.The Termi full system comes with a TI can that looks better than the stock muffler setup. Only adds another $2500 or so to the price. If it sounds anything like the Termi's on my Sportclassic it would be worth every penny just for the sound it makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 When I get the hang of this one I would like to buy an affordable sport toured at that time, 20 + price tag I wish I was in California or Miami to make every penny worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 My 5th bike will be a Kymco Xciting 500. Suck on that squidz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubguy85 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hobby.. My dad has one and I ride it all the time... I always said if I had one bike for the rest of my life it would be that.. When I can afford one for the street, I'll buy one.. If you are ever in indy u can ride his.. Its MONEY... So fast too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollnhot Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Got a second bike, so if I got a third probably be a V Strom1000. Dont get me wrong I think the Duc Multi is one sweet bike, but 20 g.s damn thats a lotta dough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicked94s10 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I have owned many biked but after riding the fjr I forgot about them all. I have got a new bike every year since I started riding until I got this bike, I don't even care about any other bike. It may not be the best at everything but it does everything damn good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simplysix Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 If you get a Multistrada, I suspect the Street Glide will do a lot of sitting in the garage.

Gixxus Christ! Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 My 5th bike would probably be one of those 100cc pocket bikes...that's about all I have room for in my garage lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wicked94s10 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Good plan. If you rode a Multistrada' date=' you'd throw that Yamaha in a ditch and set it on fire. ...but I'm biased... [/quote']Not a fan at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accel_is_my_drug Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I'll take Aprilia's new RSV4 superbike, or the BMW S1000RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
