A chat to Monty at Cadwell the other day, and a perch on his 'strada had me making a call to Mr Jagger's Toy Emprorium.

Long story short, had a long and rewarding test ride on Saturday, absolutely loved it, and I've ordered mine. It's an S in red ('twould be rude not to) with Termi, luggage & satnav. It really is the bike I've been waiting for. Should be picking it up next month, already planning next year's trips with a bit more confidence. Exactly ten years since my first arrival here with a new 748R, I've been in the naughty corner but pleased to be on a proper bike once more.

Thanks, Monty

Looking forward to catching up with old pals again.

It was good to catch up with you too Digger-told you that you would want one if you rode it didn't I?

I've joined the Multi clan.

Put a deposit on a red 1200S sport yesterday.....

Added panniers, top box, touring seats, heated grips, keyless fuel cap, full termi system......

So now have to sit on my hands till the 1st of March

The wait will be worth it! ..........and at least the weather should be better by then ;-)

So, the 'strada's settled in, I'm just back from a 2420 mile run through France to the Catalunya GP, some Pyrenees fun, San Sebastian & Bilbao. One niggle is the bloody exhaust valve. I'm running a Termi shorty carbon end can, and wonder what my options are for a system which avoids the valve altogether.

It's stuck shut a few times over the winter, and just once on the trip, on the last day leaving San Sebastian. Sorted it at the roadside with a squirt of chain lube, but I'm not prepared to live with the possibility that it might shut down and dramatically reduce the horses without notice.

Anyone have any suggestions? Any recommended local benders who've made a full system for the 1200S?
