Yes this option is the best, ESPECIALLY if the bike is tall. Try it, you put your knee on the seat and 'pivot' your bent knee on the seat which means your boot is in the air, and a swift over you're on, no scuff marks, and for bikes like the multistrada where it's a tall bike anyway but the pillion seat is higher, most people have to do that to get on those anyway!
Try it.... It's also worked for my shorter female friend who had trouble swinging her leg over the bike was always afraid of kicking it over the 'wrong' way, she's found it a great help.
