I can totally understand Randy's gripes. When I was thinking about the purchase, I had several bikes in mind, and at some point, it all got very confusing. It would have been easy for me to say "Screw it" and just buy the biggest, baddest of them all (in this case, the Multistrada SG). Instead, I chose to list my needs and wants, and prioritize them. This was definitely not as easy as it sounds. In my case, auxiliary electrical power was not a concern, nor was "quality of suspension travel", although the KTM and the MS certainly had a leg up on the DL (no pun intended). I have done enough fork and shock mods to make my own head spin, and I am not nearly as picky on my street bikes, as I am on my dirt bikes.
Things change, though, and a few years from now, I may identify the very same shortcomings that Randy does now. That is why I am interested in hearing from everybody, no matter how good, or bad. I appreciate *all* of the input and comments.
