Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, considering picking up a Multistrada in the near future...
I've owned 3 bikes, started on a 2007 Yamaha R1, still miss it. As I got older and the military life wore down my back and knees, I bought a 2010 Honda VFR1200F, but found it to be a competent bike, but soul-less so I sold it and kept the R1 instead of the other way around.
Last summer I bought a 2017 BMW S1000R Sport and while it is definitely a blast to ride, I find the electronic suspension to be lacking and definitely not made for a guy my weight (235lbs without gear) so I'm thinking of trading it in on a leftover 2016 Multistrada Touring S.
Is the Multistrada S suspension also made for light-weight europeans, or can I expect a comfortable ride without needing to re-spring it front/rear?
