Multi 1200-Early test ride report

Bit of a precis from MCN on Wednesday 23rd by Anders Anderson an ex WSB rider and Ohlins Chief test rider who has been developing the suspension for the bike and spent months riding it.

"Sports bike riders are going to LOVE the Multistrada"
He told MCN 'This bike is unreal and will blow you away, just like it did me. (He rode it for 15 full days of up to 700 miles a day) You ride a sports bike all day and you will be very tired, not on the Multistrada. It's got heaps of power, enough for 2nd gear wheelies, and it will pull 150 all day long. The aerodynamics are so good that it feels stable at these speeds and I can lap a track within a few seconds of an 1198 superbike time-on the standard tyres. If you put some track tyres on you could seriously hassle some sports bikes on track! The GS does nothing very well compared to the Multistrada-it is a completely new type of bike. Sports bike riders are going to love it and GS riders will be amazed at how it can do everything a GS does, but it's better off-road and has so much more performance.'
