Superbike for everyday use
What's stuck? The Multistrada is a capped superbike that is suitable for everyday use, allows long tours at a time, is fast and also ensures the passenger a comfortable livelihood.
It offers almost the same riding performance as a superbike, the same stability when it needs to go faster and packs a wendigkeit. It is the superbike for the rider, who no longer wants to edge on the motorcycle, but may enjoy the upright posture.
With her whole facility she enjoyed Dietmar and me a lot.
For everyone else, think about it well. If you don't want to be constantly challenged, who enjoys the peace, who gets the constant roar ingenuity on your nerves, who wants to cruise first – let it stay.

In dubious weather conditions, in cold and rain, the Kawa proved to be an unproblematic companion. It is quite astonishing how well the electronic helpers work to tame their power. Almost all of them are needed under these conditions - but at the same time you have a lot of fun with the big SPORTtourer and have to make surprisingly few compromises.
In the city, she is not the first choice – everywhere else she did not afford a single serious nakedness. Rarely have we enjoyed 200 hp so relaxed.
