He's right, though. It's weird and fat in the front, but on the whole, not particularly 'big', in the way, say, a Valkyrie or a Rune is.

If you're over 6ft, you'll be too big for it. It's perfect for medium sized people and handles like a 600.Im sorry Mr Rona sir, but what bike is big in your world?
Commuter Quasi? Yes, for sure. It's much easier to ride in traffic than either of my bikes.
It doesn't matter what it looks like. The engine and very direct handling more than make up for any perceived ugliness. The best motorcycle engine I've ever been privileged to use and the best stock forks.
I couldn't own a Multistrada. The build quality is appalling, combined with deep, deep ugliness and an asthmatic engine. It doesn't have enough going for it to outweigh its perceived ugliness.
I expect a B-King's looks wouldn't grow on you, but who cares. A weekend toy that takes acceleration and turns it into an atavistic force. I couldn't do anything except grunt and smash things after I finished riding it. It'll bring out your inner chimp, including using the bike as a set of self levitating monkey bars.

Seriously - did you stand square on in front of the thing? It's farken massive!
NO ONE could call that view small. I can see it's going to create a lot of confusion when people see them in a bus lane.

One of the reasons why I wouldn't consider a second-hand one.
Mantelpiece, fire, etc.
Have you ridden the new 1100?

Yes. Horrid. I fail to see why this engine excites people. The BMW R1200S has a better engine but gets very faint, ,so faint it's almost damning praise, despite better build and ride quality and an engine that develops more power as it gets revved, not more noise only.

Surely you mean 116 litre don't you, it's 3 feet fricken wide!Just for the hell of it Im gonna ask Mike at Maunders in Whangarei if I can take their one for a blast this Saturday. Not so sure about the tank size (16ltr?) and yes they are butt ugly but I guess they already knew that at the factory?Thing is, people will buy them, oh well, keeps the physiologists employed
Forum whore
Yes, but the problem there is looking at the cockpit and seeing paint peeling off the brake reservoir and trying to adjust the headlight with the cool remote adjuster only to find that the electric motor was left off because of a funding crisis.
On a 600km demo bike.

Seriously - Yes.
Its wide. But IMO it aint big.
Jim2 hit the nail on the head.

That's not the tank. It's an airbox that your own personal service department live in.
It is only 16 litres.

Mmph mmph hmm mmph.
I guess it doesn't, really. "Enough ponies, enough torques, sounds like a bucket of bolts tipped over an old sewing machine" was more or less my impression of the 1000DS.
Does the job, though. After all, one wouldn't want too much power; speed kills!
I'll take one of those out shortly.
I rather suspect that I will find the ergonomics and handling far inferior to the Mouldy Strudel's.
BMW just don't seem to get it when it comes to how a bike should feel.
That said, I've only ridden a couple of Ks to date.

This one:
That's not really comparing like with like vis a vis the Multistrada. Think 2005 R6 with Flat Twin rumble.
I think you will be very surprised. We get the Ohlins kitted version here and the thing is very, very sweet.

Oh my.
Yes, I shall give one a go.
I do wonder how much luck I'll have finding a demo to ride, though...

Would you like some CANDY!?!?!
BUT!
Will it get you sex?
The B-King I mean.

Judging from my Wife's reaction, yes.
Probably when the kids leave home.
