Mount Hamilton is a riot!! Especially coming from the east (pueblo rd?).
Rode it last may from Reno, on the way to the Quail Motorcycle Gathering in Monterey. By the time I was at the top, i was hyperventilating from excitement, and i had arm pump from going gangbusters up the road, 30+ miles. I highly recommend it.

Even when I read an article that says an Aprilia and a BMW did faster times than a Panigale V4, I know I'll never have anything but a Ducati. I have owned six, including two Monsters and three Multistradas. Bought my first in 1974 (like the attached photo except for the air filters). Bought the gray 2017 Multistrada in September 2018 but managed to total it the next day. Damn! Fortunately I still have the white 2011 shown below. The 2017 handled a bit better and was a little smoother, but its engine threw off a lot more heat than the 2011.
Bought mine a year ago from Big Bike Project in Bangkok. it is a 2012 Pikes Peak and it only had 2200 kilometers on it. I have added 7000 in the last year.
i am currently riding around Thailand. Panniers are SW Motech which I am wrapped with: the frames detatch easily. Top box is a Givi 52L. More than enough luggage capacity for 4 weeks touring.
Roads in Thailand are sublime! I have been riding here 10 years. You need to be careful, but excellent riding on some world class roads.
Will post photos when I find the touring thread.
just realised the last time I posted here was 9 years ago when I hd my 1198!
Love seeing all of the amazing bikes! This is the first time I rode a Multi and rode it about 400 miles and enjoyed every minute of it. Rented it from a friend and now I want one for myself!
Great weather in Australia at the moment and have just completed a 6000 mile ride into western new south wales, South Australia and Victoria, the Multi performed faultlessly, great fuel consumption
2018 1260S. DQS upshifts just fine but no downshifts at all, ie: shift lever will not move down. Works like normal with the clutch. I tried turning DQS off and then back on and no change. In the past it worked just fine as long as the throttle was closed when downshifting. I did discover that...
Just installed the Touratech belly pan.
Now I'm thinking I should powder coat it some color but don't know what. Given the PP color scheme, wheels etc. any advice on color? Just leave it raw aluminum?
I know, silly question, but what else you got to do?

Hi,
I have a 2010 multistrada 1200s and I cannot make it wheelie, I had a hyper before and was never a problem, very easy to power wheelie with it.
Now Im trying from around 6-7000rpm (most torque) in 2 gear and it lifts just a little bit, but no more. Is DTC stopping me?
I only have DTC...
