Fellow Haven't Been here Long but already feeling Second Hand, Proud Owner of a 2014 ST only had about 5 months, I log onto Multistrada 1200 every night and I need to trawl through 1200 DVT owners woes and concerns (He He) now I know how the 1100 Multi Owners must have felt. Any chance of creating a separate DVT Problem Page Elsewhere. Any Takers ? Regards RB
Happens with any new bike/car. 6 months of #%^* this and #%^* that, before settling down. As a 2010 MTS early adopter and sufferer of most well documented problems, I appreciate the input from new owners, which can help with the decision to go new and shiny or stick with tried and (barely) trusted. Thread titles always give the option to avoid certain topics, unless like me, you have OCD and can't stand to see the unread ones in bold type?
Still got my '10: having learnt the hard way about being first adopter of a new Ducati, I actually find it useful to see the DVT comments - not for the Schadenfreude but to see where the initial issues lie and how soon they settle down to a 'normal' level - that's the point at which I'll make a decision to swap (or not).
LOL I like reading about there woes. It stops me from bombing down to the nearest Duke Dealer and trading mine in for one. Keep it up boys this jealous guy is loving it ;-)
I don't understand the problem, you buy the new model, savour the magnificence of the latest developments in engineering. OK something goes wrong, take it back to where you bought it, they fix it or give you a replacement. Job done. Consider yourself a pioneer paving the way for those who want to have the glitches ironed out before they buy one. Voila! Alls good in the world.
