I have had my 2005 Multistrada S for about 15 years, and I still really like the bike. The full Ohlins suspension lives up to all the hype. I do all my own service and valve adjustments are a pain, as much because of how much must come off the bike to get to them as because of how time consuming it is to do the actual adjustments. As far as the belts go, they are only about $50 each and they are not at all difficult to replace. Even though my bike has "just" a 1,000 cc air cooled 2 valve motor, it would leave my CB1100EX for dead, and the motor is smoother as well.
