If it bothers you, then a few stainless bolts would cost pennies relative to the cost of the bike. Anyway, I doubt the disc fixings are much different between different Ducati models.

That's like dismissing a second-hand car because the ashtrays were full!

PS I think the KB referred to is kwikbitch, or some such.
actually i like the multistrada and my observation on the disc bolts was purely that - when i last test rode one i didn't like the vibration when you put the front brakes on either, but the concept makes alot of sense especially for 90% of the riding i seem to do at the moment. the disc fixing on the MTS 1000 is peculiar to that model - i think you will find. Oh and some people won't buy secondhand cars previously owned by smokers. Thanks for everyones advice - will see what deal i can get.

Saw a dark outside Harrods recently and have to say it looks awesome in the flesh,on a par,and maybe a bit more,than/with my gloss black 749.

Even with the finance deal i am stretching things- yeeeeoooowwww. I completely agree about the gloss black - the 999S in gloss black is one sexy mutha' - so a lacquer job can't be too expensive - reminds me of a joke about a "fancy lacquer".

the steering damper thing......dunno if that is a big deal or not - got one on the 748, peace of mind i guess but a 749 dark is no zx10R now is it??

Do the forks have the same adjustments?

The only adjustment (afaik) is 1 degree on the S model,so think the regular and Dark are the same.
