DucSea had the full Termi system on the demo bike and I must say I was impressed. It barked, but was still really smooth right down to 1500rpm.

Even with the suspension set stiff, it still "wallows" a bit under hard braking. But, I'm going to try and set it on 2 up with bags to see what that does. I'm taking it over to KFG next weekend for a basic set up too.

Kinda put my Tricolore trade in idea on hold while I think on it. :/

Good! Let's ride...

Decided to trade my 848 in for a Pikes Peak Multistrada. I was so impressed by how great this bike is on the twisties that my old faithfull 848 just had to go.

I really enjoy it. Easy to ride fast and then tame when you want it to be. It's a struggle sometimes deciding what to ride! Life's tough...

Hows the fueling on this bike?? I dumped my Diavel because the fueling (among other things) was just awful...

I test rode a 2012 and bought the 2013 PP. The '13 is much better. Really no complaints. It took a few rides to get it down though going back and forth to the 1199. Very different as you would expect. But, it's really smooth throughout the rev range.

That's a nice bike Bronch. Everytime I try throwing a leg over one of those bikes reminds me that there are just certain bikes that I'm to short for and have to rule out.

True, I can't stop flat footed. You can lower it, but that would screw up the geometry. What about the Hypermotard? That was a blast when I test rode it. Hooligan bike, like you!

The Pani is next in line. I tried the KTM 990? Super Enduro a couple years back, couldn't even pick it up off its sidestand. I think you had to be a minimum of 6' to ride o e of those.
