  1. Did the Multi's design guy jump ship?
    Looks smart.

  3. how does the Multi compare with current model?
     
  4. Didn't even know what the old one looked like.
    Always thought GS was the daddy but with the new engine from the RR in it this'll be good crack.
     
  5. My neighbour has one. He’s as slow as fuck on it. But that’s just him not the bike.

  6. I changed my Multi for a 2016 model XR earlier this year. Fantastic bike. Don’t regret it for a second

  7. Yep , it certainly isn’t a slow bike that’s for sure.

  8. It’s fast! And too much hard work tbh. Not relaxed at all compared to multi and GS.
    IMO

  9. Have been waiting for this to come out and to be honest looks like the Honda Crossover thing from the side. Whilst I’m sure the engine and dash will be great I think I’ll end up getting a year old one. At least it means I can free up some cash to get a 959 track bike

  12. Ugly as sin !!! And they always had the s1000rr motor, im sorry to say they don't handle as well as a gs I've had both !!! Zgermans are very lazy with the styling on the brand new models ?
     
  13. No want it to be road legal as planning on doing a couple of Ring trips next year.

  14. I see the design of the pillion seat continues the trend of being 9 or 10 inches higher than the rider’s seat which makes mounting a feckking nightmare if you’re not a giant. Andy

    But it’s not meant to be a GS is it ? As they have the GS for that sort of thing :)

  19. There is a guy on a black one i see in the mornings sometimes (along the Finchley Road). He rides in a similar stye to Chris McNeil, throws it in and out of the traffic like he is on a scooter. Is bloody annoying though, as he is a tail gater. Think that's an ego thing (that he is the better rider etc etc).
