It’s not the longer wheelbase smoothing things out. That’s the telelever front and the paralever rear suspension. The front suspension separates suspension and steering and braking forces and is easily the best street suspension I have ever owned. The Motorsports also has the Akropovic titanium/ Carbon exhaust, Forged wheels, ESA, ABS, machined pegs and the snazzy paint. That bike is STILL king of BMW’s sport touring bikes.

The sun is just rising, you're on a great bike, I'd have kept going. You have more discipline than I do. I'd like to head out tomorrow, Saturday, but I have a shop full of money to make, so it'll have to wait till Sunday. I have an R1100R, and if I doubled my HP it'd still be less than that bike. My old R100GS, if I tripled it's hp it'd just barely surpass the 1300. But Hp isn't all that makes a great bike. By the time you reach 64 just being able to sling a leg across one is quite an accomplishment in itself.

Cal Moto The HP wheels are lighter than stock, thus less unsprung weight, therefore the suspension can work better. You said you were on a bumpy road, it doesn't matter about speed or your revs. Was the ride quality markedly different from a K1300S with the stock wheels.

Software patches have not fixed it. Too many problems to make it worth my trouble. It's an awesome bike, when it's working right. My my confidence in my Multistrada is no longer there.

TheToekutter I just bought the MS 2015. I had the bmw k1300s before, but I sold it cause it is just not the same. Too heavy and just not the same when you start it up etc. I have no doubt that bmw and honda are reliable, but I wanna have fun riding. The bmw GS and the sportstourers are too heavy to have fun with imo. I have 5 year guarantee in my country anyway for the problems you mention. Another thing is that we only hear from the guys that have these problems. I have talked to many folks who have not had these problems.

If you really want to buy the cheapest bike, whatever, buy a Honda Ruckus. You can't really compare the K1300s to the ZX14R. You would have to put thousands into the ZX14R to make it comparable in build quality, creature comforts, suspension performance, and sport touring abilities.
