Nice   Thumbsup

It seems the enthusiasm for the redesigned Multistrada 'round these parts has diminished KTM's shine - maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place.

The price of the Multistrada diminished its shine for me.

Well they say that you are getting 4 bikes for that price, but I'm not buying it.

I have 10000+ miles on mine and do agree with the report whole heartedly  Inlove

There is now "proper" luggage available, basically anything you want on QD racks.
I haven't noticed the clocks being difficult to read (maybe he need new glasses  Wink ).
I almost never use the rear brake but have noticed that if I intentionally stomp hard on it, it can emit a borderline scary squeal. But if that's the biggest problem on the bike...  Thumbsup

I really like the looks of this bike... except for the front fender.  It looks like someone used a jigsaw to make it.  Needs a hugger on the back tire also.

When the front fender is in the appropriate place no one will be able to see it except me peering over it while lofting the front wheel.  And when I'm pounding out hundreds of miles a day I won't be able to see the rear beneath me.

Not for looks on the rear, I like a hugger to keep all the crap from spraying all over in crummy conditions.
