So the proceeds of the CB, and soon, the Tiger 800, have been put towards this number. ‘18 Multistrada 1260 S Touring. Got it with 235 miles on it, one month old, from the dealership, was a trade back on a BMW 1600 Bagger by a guy who buys and trades bikes regularly and with little regard for his fiscal health. Got a significant discount and no fees, so made for a good deal.
Two solid days of riding, and I’m blown away by it. It really is multiple bikes in one. Perfect, I mean perfect, ergos for me. Tractable and powerful, and plush ride. Urban mode drops it to 100bhp, lowers it by almost an inch, and makes it usable in town. Touring and Sport modes genuinely change the character of the bike. The bike is balanced as can be, at both the 1mph stop light dance, as well as the considerably faster back road dance.
I’ll withhold judgment on reliability until the miles pile up, but my buddy’s has 28k mi and it’s never been in the shop save for service and a recall. So, abbondanza!
