Hello all! Long time since I posted in here! I'm here in sunny California and it won't be long until it's been a year and I'll be here for several more years. So, I'm gonna grab my self a new bike.

I LOVEDDDD my Multistrada 1200 Touring... God that bike was fun. So I'll be getting another one, the new 1260 Touring (is there even a touring model anymore?).

Has anyone got one of these and if so, any common issues?

Yea, it had a duff gearbox which was fixed on recall so it was done for free. Got the suspension upgraded at the same time if I remember as with 2 up and everything full (top box and panniers) it would often bottom out on the original rear shock.

I think the new ones have eradicated that though.

I also read that they have increased the swing arm length to make it less wheelie happy... Which makes me sad :(
