Not on the seat tho, the Duc suspension is amazing.
Which says more about the Multi than the DL as I still rate the DL as a great bike. I put an adrenalinR muffler on mine and it sounded awesome! In 20/20 hindsight, I would have stayed with the DL.
Oscar makes a great point tho, these are big heavy "adventurish" bikes. Great for two up anywhere in NZ but not scorching up Nevis Pass. Don't pass up a test ride on the KTM790r adventure...
