Looks like a great trip Richard- and you've lucked out with the weather! How are you findling longer trips on the new Duke?
Yeah, the weather was a real bonus. Both days were clear, dry and warm. Everything you could ask for, especially in September.
As for the bike, we did about 420 miles over 2 days, roughly 12 hours of actual riding. The bike was very comfortable, handled all situations (including a ford that looked damn slippy). The tank range is a comfortable 200 miles and I enjoyed every mile.
I've been mulling over the "what if you could only keep one of the Multi or the GS?" question. It would be a tough call. For day to day riding the Multi is great - a bit lighter, a bit more agile and a bit more engaging. For a week long trip, I think the GS is better with more carrying capacity, even more comfort and a more relaxing ride.
Answer. Keep both.
