Echo what has been said, get an ST4S, better suspension that the others-ohlins on the back-with a 996 engine that is 'detuned' but produces more power and torque than a 996! Belting bike, mines been 2 up to Italy twice, Norway and Sweden last summer, done the Nurburgring, trackdays, the lot. Has 26,000 on it now, and I'm not selling. I love the Multistrada and my partner reckons it is more comfortable for her-she's got long legs-but I would miss the pure punch of the ST4S, especially above 100. The standard panniers are brilliant, never leak, and we have gone through some horrible weather. I like the look of the Triumph ST apart from the exhaust from the rear which I think looks cheap and nasty. You pays your money and takes your choice.
