| Probably the only think that I would be real worried about on the Multistrada is having the engine that exposed. Not much of a problem in a country like Italy were sun shines most of the year, not so much over here. Keep on top of the cleaning as winter abuse and salty roads can damage Dukes. Although if you look after it, the finish of Dukes can hold up almost like a Honda.
Don't regret so much on the ST either. Good protection from the fairing but it is so badly designed that you never take it off to clean underneath. With an exposed engine at least you can access it.
I have got to try one soon! |
