At least they've managed to change the look of the Multistrada - it used to be ugly enough to scare small children.

The Tiger looks like an R1 to me - defo not a 'trailie' in my eyes. Even one of the test riders says as much - calls it a sportsbike, not even a road bike.

Out of the lot, I'd probably go with the KTM, or the BMW - but the 1150, and not the 1200 (bloody 'puter inside it!)

I'll keep the Tiger for a while yet. DC not a fecking hope. Seat height 850mm and it's not rising rate linkage so no easy way to lower it.

Thanks for the link, i've driven the KTM 990 and loved it, but found it a bit small(or maybe i' too big lol) i'm lookin' forward to seeing the Multi' on the road.

"What will it do Officer?" "why 50kph in a built up area, and 120kph on a motorway"

The Multistrada was and always will be...manky!!

One of the lads here has one...sounds like a bag of spanners when he pulls up, it's an awful yoke. But I like the KTM for sure!!!

The old version was a dry clutch = bag of spanners. To give Ducati their due new 1200 is latest everything, including a proper wet clutch. Still ugly as sin though
