I have a gs and also a ducati (albeit a 999s) and I can say that the multistrada is not a serious competitor for the gs riders who ride a bit off road. For me, putting a 1098 engine in a tall bike is not enough to make the ultimate adventure touring bike (didn't Triumph already do that with Tiger?) the 17" wheels, non spoked rims and painted luggage puts me off the multistrada. I might be the only person on this forum who argues against the multistrada but having done over 100,000 miles on various types of GS, I can say that for me, the new yam 1200 is the only serious competitor for the GS. The multistrada is a good bike, but a competitor for the gs it ain't
