I have a 2016 Ducati multistrada 1200s and I just got this. I can say with out a doubt that for the price point it is amazing! Fit and finish is as good as the Ducati if not better. All panels are tight and there is no noise from any of them. The Navigation is simply amazing as well and the warranty is the best in the world. FYI spokes are stainless steel! Not even Ducati has that. I love it and is extremely reliable.

Does your Ducati work 6 years later? We all can assume it does perfectly good. Not sure about your new bike in 2029.

GSA rider here. As soon as I saw the backlit controls, and before you even said anything, I was like "woah, that's nice!". That 1290 though. I always do a bunch of mods to my bike in December snd usually take it apart and spend 2-3 weeks not riding it while it's disassembled and I'm adding all the goodies. Midway through the process when I go out and see everything everywhere with tools all over the place I always feel like it will never come back together properly and I'm gonna forget something and it's gonna break down on me. Hasn't happened yet, but I hate that feeling and your 1290 gave me that feeling. Good luck with it. I quite liked that wrap you had on it.

Always enjoy your vids. As a Ducatista, my riding days will end if they ever move manufacturing to China. However, I’m guessing there’s a part or two on my bike that probably came from China.
