What a wonderful place to break in a Multistrada!

Yeah, it can only jump like a dirt bike:

Tour like an FJR, corner like a Ducati, and rip your arms off with 150
raging horses, but it does it with traction control, anti-lock brakes,
heated grips, electronically adjustable Ohlins dampers, and enough
luggage space to haul around a woman for two weeks. Pretty much
useless.

You'd have an overweight 70 hp motor that tends to overheat, a
3.something gallon tank, no luggage, abysmal passenger accommodations,
shall I continue?

do only go round once.
