[dst1]

Currently running a 916 which I have had for about 18 months.
As a mature rider I need something that will fit my 6ft 4 frame with a bit more comfort.
What I need is a bike I can use all the year round but will still stir my passion for italian flesh.
Do I go the Jap route and become boring on my Onda Ornet.
Is anyone using a Monster like this, what model shall I go for, will it do the job I want.
I will need to get my daughter on the back, shes only 14 and pretty light in weight but will need to pick her up from time to time.
I cant go through the winter on a 916, I will be on the floor all the time as the front washes out.

Multistrada!

Multistrada Did it for me !!!!!!

Ugly...I cant live with how they look at the front

They may be good but sorry..no way

You may find the Monster too small for you however. Rob nearly quit riding because of that he's 6'5". got a Multi & he's happy.

Do they handle ok and can you change the end cans

wet or dry clutch on the Multi

I don't understand this. Can you elaborate?


Fair points by Jools above re the ST's as wqell. You might find one "a bit of a barge" for a while after a 916, but they're stonking bikes.
