RSR It is without doubt the easiest bike to go ridiculously fast on, just glad I bought it after the 1199 as it really is an all round bike the 1199 might not have been bought. Mines still tight, less than 1000 miles but that hasnt stopped me chasing down all sorts of race reps on it. The mid range is immense. I love it, I have nothing but positives to say, even the wife likes going on the back. Got a de vince de cat pipe to go on next week with the stubby termi end can should sound like a Ducati too then. if I'm honest, on tight twisties when I'm not 100% up for a fast ride then I'm definitely quicker on the pikes peak. However on the odd day when the suns shining and I'm up for it the 1199 becomes almost part of me, I almost forget its there it's like flying along the road head first at an outrageous speed of knots.
Point is, both are incredible bikes. But the Tric looks like it is, the multi is a truly stealth bike that looks like a comfy sports adventure tourer but actually is an 1198 with high bars.
Going to swap them tyres though, I think I will be even better on some proper sport rubber. Not SPs as I'm after some thing reasonable in the wet but probably Pirelli.
Ps when parked up I'm still amazed the amount of comments the pikes peak gets, more than the Tric. It's got that over sized tonka toy, monster truck kinda appeal!
