I enjoyed that other thread comparing the two since it looks like I will be going to an RT next year.
Actually the wife and I are planning an Edelweiss tour and the only choices that look suitable for two up riding are the RT and the Ducati Multistrada. I am all for the Multistrada but the wife apparently is familar enough with Ducatis to be convinced they are mostly torture racks. She has ridden passenger on a friends RT and knows they are very comfy.
So has any of you ridden a Multistrada two up and care to comment on the comfort factor? I am confident the Duc blows the RT away in every other category so I am only curious about comfort.
I am the much maligned new C14 owner called out for having the audacity to state some of the virtues I saw in my RT.
Much maligned? That's a bit of a stretch isn't it?
I'd say things have been quite tame. Go to a BMW forum and proclaim how much better the 14 is.
But, but, we came for the bike and stay for the people
I like the way you think Chet! Please provide link to BMW forum, I feel like being a troll on a BMW site tonight...

No bashing at all, just a bunch of ...

Ah, jeez. You went and got the blue one. THAT'S the one with all the problems!!!!!! You're screwed.
Pro's ...The saddle. The C14 had the best OE saddle I ever used.

Hopefully you'll hang around here as well. I've enjoyed your posts.Thanks Chief but I'm not going anywhere. Except to Europe, where I'll be RENTING an RT. I plan to put another 85,000 on my C14 back in the good ole USA.

Hey, lather, where in Europe? I'm in Munich. Any close to your target destination? Maybe I can help you organizing something. Let me know.Thanks for the kind offer. We will be flying in to Munich and then to Erding and Edelweiss headquarters? We are planning to do one of their tours. We may fly in a day early and spend a day in Munich. We are still in planning stage, the tour will be summer 2013 but you have to choose the motorcycle when you book the tour.
