New Multi V4

Really interesting to read all this.

Stick - do you reckon if you have a 1250GS for longer days and rides then a Streetfighter V4S when you want to let rip, that you would have the bestow both worlds? That is what I am hoping to sort this year!

Congrats and well done, I was impressed with the V4S on the test ride too, I'd struggle with the concept of the poor (ish) fuel range and the price is a bit salty but there's not much out there to compete with the new Multi, I didn't think you'd do it, bellisima

Just get the SF

I have just done 260 miles round the Dales and its as comfy as a comfy thing I feel no more knackered than I would have done on the Multi !

Interestingly the 2 lads with me today, one on a newish XR and one on a 1250GS both very good riders commented that they just could not keep up with meme even though I genuinely was not riding the bike fast or at least the bike was only scratching at its capabilities bearing in mind I am trying to run it in.

The handling is such that it just fucks off in the corners and they are playing a diminishing game of catch up

Looked at theSF but an old injury from racing (neck) makes naked bikes hard work on a decent ride and the cost in discomfort is not worth it , great bike tho . The V4 is a cracking motor

The 1290s Ktm was very quick but it had no feeling at all and the chassis was awful.

Tosh.

I doubt very much you spent anywhere near enough time riding the KTM. The suspension is incredible. But you have to dial it in to your riding style. And you can. Unlike the GS. You can set it up exactly how you might prefer it to be, even the ride height for goodness sake and doing so make a huge difference to handling.

You've made a good choice though. The GS would be second choice for me with the Duc and KTM in the same area. The KTM is without doubt better value though and the chassis is awesome

Not yet had her on the back as running in over the next few days , but when I took her on the demo she liked it , found it smaller than the Gs , but thats the nature of the V4 , compact .
Comfort wise she was fine , only thing was it was less space than the Gs , but we agreed the Gs is super comfy and bigger , she will let me know when we go out on the new bike for a long run and coms fitted .
The bike however is fooking great , rides really well , just need to get it run in as booked first service for the 31st....then I can find out what it can and cant do.

What's this running in you speak of?

5 year warranty isn't it? Should be for the price. School of thought about not taking it easy - I read once. These engines aren't Austin Allegro any more. So unless it's a BMW I wouldn't worry.
