Bye bye baby.
The Multi has gone to a new owner. No single reason but lots of small ones adding up to it being the right thing to do.
New bike incoming on Saturday all being well.

Re: Bye bye baby.
A cracking bike, and I know you've had a lot of fun with it.. watching the way it ate the miles in France spurred my decision to change.
Looking forward to seeing what fills those big red boots.

Might be sad to see it her go but you will be happy when the new bike arrives and will forget all about this one!

Re: Bye bye baby.
I knew you’d been talking about changing, but didn’t know you’d bitten the bullet Duke, interested to see where you’re going next, I have a suspicion though....

Re: Bye bye baby.
The Multi doesn't look like my bike with panniers and that awful screen.
The standard screen creates more buffeting than the short carbon one i had fitted.

I found the same between the standard and the short tinted one I’ve got fitted now.duke63 wrote:The Multi doesn't look like my bike with panniers and that awful screen.

The BMW screen is adjustable, but even with the short time I've spent on it, the short screen is better.Kwacky wrote:I've got short screens on both the AT and the Versys. Loads better.

Re: Bye bye baby.
Tried the tall screen on the Tiger and hated it. Went straight back to the short one.

Re: Bye bye baby.
I remember my test ride on a Multi and strangely I got more head buffeting with the screen in the high position, which is the opposite to what I expect tbh but seems the same for most people reading this thread.

Re: Bye bye baby.
Happy Days mate, looking forward to seeing it.
I see a mention of short screens, I put a really small one on the tiger, it looked great and worked really well, thinking about it, I am sure it is still in the garage somewhere.

Re: Bye bye baby.
My double bubble on the ZX6R creates a LOT of buffeting on the road in a normal riding position.
It's necessary on track though and I can only just get tucked in behind it with my chin on the tank
