I think that this is true for most riders, the S would do 99.999% of what the R would do most of the time. In any case it seems to me that this years S is pretty much on par with last years R.

So all you're left with is the 'pride of ownership' thing. Nothing wrong with that, but if I had 'R' money I'd have an S and a Multistrada with the change.

I agree that the new S is on pair with last year's R (sort of...)


But it's not R money i'm talking about, it's more or less the SAME price!!
