I’m not that impressed by the release of the Hill Hold so rarely, if ever, use it solo/no luggage. However, laden for touring in the Pyrenees, it has its uses. Andy
Hill start is a godsend for me. Ive just got myself a K1600Gt. I can get one or other of my feet flat on the floor. Not both at the same time At junctions the camber of the road, more often than not, dictates it's my right foot on the floor.
From what I read on here about non-existant Multistrada rear brakes, I'm surprised that anyone has functioning hill-hold!
Hill hold is useful if the camber falls away to the left and you can't get your left foot down with ease. But that's a once-a-year sort of problem, unless you live in a mountainous area. It's also quite pleasant if you just want to stretch your legs at some lights on a gentle gradient. Probably a once-a-month usage. I definitely wouldn't pay for it, but then again I have gangly legs.
