Anyway, the MS would make a great commuter, enjoy the ride.
...And what the hell do you know about commuting there Buell owner??

LOL!! Betcha wished you'd held off on that Buell after seeing the new Multi pics, hu??
So, back to commuting. Here's the funny thing about 'commuting'. Two people could travel the exact same stretch of road on the exact same bike...one commuting to work, the other out enjoying the day. Those two rides will have completely different effets 180 degrees out from each other.
After 13 months on my Multi, 7,000+ miles, 95 miles round trip (80 of it freeway), every day, all year, rain or shine, I consider myself highly qualified to tell you about commuting on the Multi. I would NOT do it again. That's correct, I said no!
The Multi handles great, relatively comfortable, extremely roomy compared to sport bikes (obviously) practical, and most every other good thing you've heard about the bike remains true...IF she's used for her indended purpose.
The bike offers almost zero wind and rain protection. Buffeting is constant and annoying also. My 749 and SS either one both offer better wind, rain, noise, and buffeting protection over the Multi. Riding in the rain proves the lack of protection point, because I am soaked from head to toe. Especially from the knee down where I end up with more water on me than on the road. Same goes for the upper body, which BTW doubles as a drag chute. I have been accidentally stuck in the rain on the other bikes before and barely end up with my upper shoulders wet, and not much more. Another thing I personally have discovered about the Muiti is the riding position. I have actually found it to be right in the middle of no-mans-land. To be completely comfortable, I'd rather be a little more foward, like on a ST, or further back, like on a full cruiser or touring bike. The Multi for me, is right in the middle with no relief either way.
When you can get "lost in the ride" these items aren't so much of a factor, but when you have nothing to do for a whole hour besides stare at the cagers surrounding you, it gets old.
Owning a Multi (and probably a little bit of being older and wiser) has really taught me about owning the "right" motorcycle. Doesn't always have to be completely practical, especially when a bike lights a fire deep in side your soul, but I've grown to love what is really important. For the constant freeway, it's not a Multi. I wish every day I would have purchased someting a little more on the ST side of the house.
Needless to say, the novelty over the Multi for me has worn off pretty fast. The only reason mines not for sale is it still beats commuting on a 749 (although not by much after re-reading what I wrote), and I am undecided on what to replace it with. I like the new Multi, but fear I'd end up in the same boat. I think I may very likely try a ST in my future. Too bad Ducati dumped that line. I'd love to see Ducati put out something on-par or superior, and slightly more ST, but along the lines of the BMW K1300S!! That'd be sweet!
