Anyone here tour on a Multistrada 1200 S Touring?  How is it compared with other sport touring bikes?

The crew at Road Runner LOVE this bike. Inlove

I spoke with Florian at the IMS show and he said they fight over who gets to ride it.

We were talking specifically about there recent tour in VA in which they had the Triumph Sprint GT as well.

What do you mean by 'tour?'  I know people are taking multi-day trips successfully.  I think the major issues are: water leakage in bags, centerstand needs removing/grinding down (in order to retain cornering), and UFO has had an electrical issue.  There were also some fueling issues that have been fixed with an ECU update.

In terms of comfort, I know it's fine 1-up for me and others on this site.  Minimal wind buffering and vibes, ridiculous torque/power, and comfortable ergonomics.

I love mine, I've toured just in the southeast and a trip to Indy.
My bags still have a gap, waiting for fix from Ducati.
I modified my centerstand, so no more interference there.
No real fueling issues, I did get the new ECU re-flash because it was a recall.
The comfort is excellent especially for a tall person, power is more than anyone could need on the street and handling is excellent.
Heated grips are really nice to have, and the adjustable windshield is also great. I have added a Laminar Lip to the stock shield for winter and ordered a short smoked aftermarket windshield for summer.
No Regrets.
