Concours 14 Vs. Multistrada S Touring Edition - opinions ?
Cablebandit:
Yup, I've (along with many others here) gone through several 190/55's and have no intentions of ever going back to the 50 series.
Cozye:
that's good to hear. The 190/55 will make a noticeable difference I'm sure.
Also, I'm in the Louisville, KY area if there are any members that would let me check theirs out.

...It seems to be the perfect fit on paper for me if it's as good as it sounds and offers adequate wind protection.
The wind protection on the Duc is adequate, but nowhere near the cosetting C14.
The Multi is notorious for windscreen buffetting, but there are options...
Cool weather is no problem with the Multi, as it has two ports for heated gear, and grips.
Only you can answer the better of chain vs. shaft, but the Multi's chain is easily serviced, and significantly lighter.
Which is pretty much the point.
The C14 is a cross country misssle, in the same league as the FJR.
The Multi is a Motorcycle...

I was thinking the Ducati all the way for you until you mentioned your wife might ride with you.
You want the C-14. She'll love it.

I don't have any experience with the Duc, but have ridden the ST1300 and FJR extensively, and took a C14 for a test ride before purchasing an '08 FJR. Really if you want a big sport tourer with good wind and weather protection you can't lose with any of these. My experience is that the ST1300 is the most refined but the least sporty with the best weather protection and is the most comfortable, the FJR is the middle of the road for both, and the C14 is the most sporty. So, I would choose the C14 for a spirited two hour ride, the FJR for all day, and the ST1300 for iron butt.
If you are considering used, there are many more FJR's than the other two.
