Monty, that looks pretty good with the luggage. I was expecting them to do a ktm/bmw alloy box setup, which just doesn't do it for us.

The only concern with that is the height of the pillion seat and pegs. The step in the seat is so big it would put my missus way up in the breeze. I guess until we actually see and ride one we'll never know.

Not many weeks to wait now though

Saw the test mules at the factory doing the rounds.. seat height didn't look much taller, if at all, than the streetfighter. Pillion doesn't look much higher than riders seat. Looks less pronounced than the Multi.

I should be careful what you say Neil me old mate-you may wake up with a horses head in your bed saying things like that..............

Got to agree with you John-although our American cousins would pretty much all disagree-they actually WANT the big alloy boxes..............perhaps because they have lots more offroad than us.
