Hi all, I’ve just converted to a Duke after 7 years of BMW GS ownership. I wanted something a little more sporty after recently riding a multistrada belomging to someone else. After months of contemplating many other bikes including the SX1000, I plumped for the Multistrada Enduro. The enduro was my preference as my GS was the adventure and I really like the big tank for touring, also I am 6’3” so the extra height wasn’t a problem. I dropped on a brand new 1200 with panniers for only slightly more than a 2 year old model, so I’m really happy. I’ve bolted on some radiator protectors from R&G and given her a coat of ACF50 and some polish. She just needs a reg number and some insurance and it’s 600 miles of self restraint before the first service. I’m really happy with the bike. It’s beautiful to look at and even with standard can sounds lovely. I can’t wait for a chance to get out on drier roads with my mates and go for a ride. Hopefully a European tour in Summer, fingers crossed.

Next to add a pyramid fender extender and speedo angels cover for dash. Won’t be doing much daily riding with boxes on so a top box will be added at some point. For now its a kriega US20 strapped to the grab rail.
Typical. Today i get the documents and have insured the bike. Time to go out and play me thinks. No point taking the panniers, I’ll just whip them off and leave them in the garage. Guess what? Open the flip key, open the top lock, pannier comes off rail, and......... key snaps off. Bxxxxxxxx Ive tried to attach it back on, but so far have failed. Next ploy is to attach it so it’s there in an emergency but as you said, I’ve ordered some blanks from flea bay and wil

So it is the Jockabites then We were told ours was upside down but our factory was in the East Riding going by the below comment our North Yorks one might be upside down - I will check next week In Yorkshire there is a tradition of using the rose with a petal at the top in the North Riding and the West Riding but with a sepal at the top in the East Riding.

Hello and welcome Andy. I don't think you will be unhappy with your new Multi. I have had mine (1260 S) for just over a month now, and can't get enough of it
