Title: How to identify a Multistrada
Post by: d3vi@nt on July 02, 2013, 08:40:25 PM
I'm trying to identify the model of a 2010 MTS. Unfortunately, I can't post pictures and the ones I've seen aren't great -I can't tell whether it has a center stand or not. However, I can tell there are no carbon bits, ruling out the Sport model.

Visually, are there any dead giveaways that differentiate the standard model and the Touring?

Says:

Bags, centerstand, and Ohlins front and rear, ABS standard, not optional.

Can you see any blingy gold bits in the pics?

Thanks for the info.

All I can see of the rear is the yellow coil-over. The front shocks look blingy gold. I was kinda wondering if that means they're Ohlins, rather than the Marzocchi's on the basic model.

I can't tell if it's got ABS or heated grips, either...

Ohlins forks would be gold, Marzocchis would be silver.

if I recall, both S models had Ohlins forks. There was the S tour, and the S sport. Tour had the grips, bags etc, and the Sport had CF bits.

Thanks, Speeddog. Given that, I'm reasonably certain it's the Touring model.

Sadly, I chickened out and decided I need more saddle time before moving up to 150 ponies.
