For me it's one of those bikes that stirs the soul.. same feeling I had when I first saw the 1098. I'm still madly in love with my flaming redhead, but she has her limitations... mainly in that after 200 miles I feel like brokeback mountain.

I'm not sure I could touch the ground on the Multi...I've never sat on one. But I'm 5'10" so I think I could probably manage.

I'm 5'6" and felt pretty comfortable on it, but then I have something like a 30" inseam.

The multi stirs something in me but its more gastro intestinal

my friend dave had the previous generation, he enjoyed riding it and was a capapble city/touring bike but to me it hit every branch of the ugly tree on the way down

The connie and FJ may be a bit too pricey right now. I iwll se ehow I like the ninja 1k and connie. If one blows me away I iwll start paperwork this weekend, otherwise I may call the triumph dealer back and see if he still has that package for the 1050.
