Went for a spin on Ducati Aylesbury (aka OYB) MS 1000 DS (04) yesterday. The demo bike has termis on and to my shock and horror - I didn't like them at all !! The sound of the cans was really annoying and I felt that after a short while I'd get a headdache from the strange droning at the back. I don't know if other after market exhausts sound different on the MS - I hope they do!
Also the demo bike has a centre stand - it will gradually get worn away on left handers though 
Principle reason for the test was for two up handling/performance etc. and the bike proved itself admirably. My wife felt much more relaxed and comfortable on the MS compared to the Monster and even travelling the same roads and same speeds, I had far less 'rib-digging' on the MS. The only complaint she had was that the wind flow buffeted her at the top of the shoulders and at speeds above 75mph (only in Europe of course!) became a little uncomfortable.
Result of all this is I pick up an 04 Multistrada in 2 weeks time - and it's red of course  |
Welcome to the Numpty Club Eamonn
Sandra loves it as a pillion, the DP screen should sort the wind blast. Thanks for the feedback on the Termis, mine are being fitted next week
Warning, your wife will be able to see the speedo
