Are you sure about the second point when it comes to my multistrada?

I am sure you love it really, in a mysterious way. It a Ducati, it has style, style and more style.

I love it to bits but then my wife loves me (almost as much as her Hornet) and I'm certainly not atractive

I think the R6 was like an armchair compared to the Duke. You will prob be right at home after a 400 deej

I'm another one with no real comfort issues (just to cheer you up! ).
I'm 5' 11" and average build. It's not an armchair, but I don't find comfort a ride-reducing issue. At any decent "open-road" speed, I find it pretty OK. I rode to the Highlands in a day last Summer (620 miles), and didn't feel crippled on arrival. And I'm twice the age of some of the youmg whipper-snappers on this forum!
