[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1434018, member: 3187"] Friend of mine had a Multistrada. He found it immense fun. BUT maintenance and reliability both caused him no end of problems. One example, he got me to help him adjust his chain. Needed a special tool (luckily supplied in his toolkit). It took much longer than I would consider reasonable, plus huge strength (excessive torque required on fastenings). Also, taking the rear wheel off for a tyre change requires a special tool, good luck with that if you need a tyre change and you're away from a Duc dealer. He's had bits of the exhaust system fall off, electronics throwing wobblies among other things. He loves riding it, but it's just too much trouble. He's swapping it for a German offering. [/QUOTE]
