Great post Ruth.
Did the very same thing myself.Been riding the Multi for the best part of the last 6 months,so it was a bit of a shock to the system to be back out on the 'S'.
Jesus that bike is fast!
Went for a solo blast yesterday and another this morning.(Just got back! )I like to get a couple of rides on my own,....no pressure like,....without another dozen Dukes in my mirrors.
Made a few mistakes,....mainly trying to ride a 999S like a Multistrada! Basically going way to fast,too soon,....then overbraking,...smooth it aint.
Felt good this morning tho,....hardly a soul about at 7.30am.Took in some more 'technical' roads,....
Awesome.

I know just what you mean, took the 996r to get an mot a couple of days ago. Theres a newly tarmacced lane from my house to the main road and half way up theres a little crest where the multistrada does a little wheelie. The 996 went almost vertical! much to the amusement of some workmen a little further up to road. You really have to recalibrate dont you?
