Member Contributer maxredline Posted August 16, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted August 16, 2018 OMG, I bought a 05 Multi S DS, so that is the ohlins model with hardbags. I have to let you that the handling is so much better than my 5th gen modded out with aftermarket suspension and the extra grunt with the 1000 cc, more comfortable as well.

hardrivn Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Wanted to love these bikes but the front end just didn't do it for me. Now the Hyperstrada with its angry chicken beak, I do actually like a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiutis Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Yeah, it’s one of those bikes you’d rather not look at the front end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer maxredline Posted August 26, 2018 Author Member Contributer Share Posted August 26, 2018 Ya , Fugly for sure but the ride OMG. I park the bike so I look at the rear most of the time with the beautiful Arrow cans LOL! The Hyperstrada, I would not entertain if you were thinking putting more than a few hours a day on unless you did some mods and even then I would bet it would not be as comfy as the MS.

Member Contributer ducnut Posted August 26, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted August 26, 2018 Be sure and get the belts and valves done, as well as flush all the fluids. That bike has excellent suspension and I’d get them serviced, sprung, and valved to you, too. It’ll be a solid bike to enjoy, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
