Smile Multistrada replacement

Rumour has it that MCN will have some sort of 'exclusive' on this bike in wednesdays issue. either static bike Pics / or first ride type of stuff.

Or it could be another photoshop lash up!

remember you heard it here first

John,

It looks as though the seat is a tad uncomfortable ...two extra pads required for the test rider ! Good luck with it.

Phil, I noticed that too
oh dear. I hope they bring out a gell seat...

John, I've got money on one too, and looking forward to seeing it in the flesh at the Milan show

It looks pretty good to me, although a couple of things look suspect:
- The rear peg brackets look a little flimsy
- the exhaust looks to exit straight into the front of the right pannier, needing a humongous heat shield
- the front screen looks to be adjustable
- the rear brake is no longer bolted to the crankcase, so might actually work !
- looks like there are a pair of small cubby holes up front

Still can't wait to see it though.

What day are you going to the show John-I am over on the 11th.

And Phil, I noticed the pads too and hope they are not a necessity for long rides-but having said that I have a gell saddle pad anyway so what am I worried about.

we certainly are Ozz.

There are four of us going, consisting of two bald geezers, one portly squire, and me (I'm not bald but defo on the way to being portly ).
Usually we're a roudy bunch, but not sure if we will be at that time of the morning :|

I've PM'd you my number too
