How long is the suspension?

Spec sheet says the MS has 6.5" front and 5.6" rear. :wink:

I say keep it too. If he can stay right with the man, the next 9 months will go by before he knows it.

As a former Multistrada owner, without even considering that status of his license, I have to say sell it...

I had myself convinced for almost 2 years that the Multistrada was a kick ass bike.... until I rode a speed3 and realized the emperor had no clothes.

I think that this is the most succinct summery of the Speed Triple Experience that I have ever seen. Insert whatever bike you used to ride in place of "Multistrada."

i'm seriously thinking about getting a multi-strata for 2-up with me wife and i.

you can't compare a MS and a speed triple. one's made for 2 people, one just looks like it.

My advice is DONT GET YOUR LICENSE SUSPENDED FOR A FRICKIN YEAR dumbarse.

I for one am glad hes off the road if he only has occupational privelages. but now hes in a 3000lb plus vehicle, thats scary.

you asked my advice and I gave it :-D

>> I don't think you can really compare the 2 bikes as they are very different than each other.

>> I own both and find that they are great fun and both handle extremly well. I prefer to tour on the Multi and sport ride the S3.
