ST4S or MultiStrada
After reading my way through all the messages in the MS forum, it seems like a few of you have asked this same or similar question.
I've got a couple of further questions though.
1) With the engine so exposed just how does it stand up to all the stone chips, salt, cr@p, etc the front wheel throws at it ?
2) will the aftermarket belly pan help to stop this ?
3) the MS seems a fair way down on power compared to the ST4S. Is this a noticeable difference ?
(I ride a VFR800 for touring at present, so as long as it is as quick as that it will be fine)
4) What sort of range are you guys getting to a tank ?
Again, as long as its more than around 120 between stops I can live with that.
5) does the centre stand impact on the ground clearance much ??
I'm hoping to get a test ride of the 04 ST4S shortly, and will try the MS the same day. I guess this will answer a lot of other questions I have.
Cheers all,
John.
