Had the privellage of riding the new Multistrada S yesterday whilst my Streetfighter was getting service. Two words "very cool",took it out to Raglan and then back through Waingaro (sp),it was a most pleasant experience. Bike was very comfortable, had nice power and sat on the rode just right. I even had the opportunity to do some sight seeing on it for a few hundred metres Dash had all the information displayable that you'd ever need, was a bit unnerving not using a key to turn it on or off, thanks goodness I remembered the starting proceedure.
All in all a very compitent MC, so if your in the market for a new tourer, go anywhere on public road machine, call into Hamilton Motorcycle Centre and talk to Heath.
