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.

The Triumph Street Triple RS is a sharp sports motorcycle. Therefore, the initially questioned saying of the racing machine fits for the road. It sets the right accents for the sports driver with the foolproof Öhlins suspension, the appropriate knee closure and knee angle as well as this motor, which is always called to higher. But you have to be able to afford it. This is not even due to the entry price of 11,850 euros, where a Kawasaki Z 900 comparable in the data is available at the dealership with less than 10,000.
No, if you want to have the Triumph Street Triple RS and drive all year round, if you want to take a passenger further than to the dredging lake without listening to the suffering after the end of the journey – you will not be able to avoid the purchase of a second motorcycle. And this, despite the fact that it is actually present and suitable for everyday use.
