Jools from Fieldsheer
Thanks for the link Jool`s , I`ve just noticed it was from general.
The horsepower should suit my riding just about perfectly. As well as the KTM we have a Triumph Thunderbird, only 69 bhp but able to keep up with most through the corners until things start to get a bit silly (fun!). I had a 1200 Bandit a few years ago but it only got into its stride at 90mph and I found it bland to ride.
I don`t like chasing revs prefering a strong mid range as on the Thunderbird, I can stick it in top and pretty much leave it there all day. From the past the Suzuki GS1000`s (yep that old) were much the same, the handling was more interseting though.
I`m looking for something with good handling and a comfy riding position which was why I considered the Multistrada ( I had a Triumph Tiger a couple of years ago and liked the riding position but not the seat height).
The cam belts on the bike I am looking at are supposed to have been changed 500 miles ago but so far I don`t when they were changed which is equally important.
I`m waiting for a decent day to get a test ride so have been watching the weater forecast closer than usual.
You are a right friendly lot on here, thanks.
That Keefyboy gets around abit dosen`t he.
