Title: My GTI has a new Italian friend...
Post by: Jim_mk7.5 on 05 July 2018, 19:38
So I made the decision 2 weeks ago to purchase a garage toy to accompany the GTI.

My GTi gets used daily and racked up around 750 in the first month but the last few days I’ve rushed home to grab an hour on it.

Will possibly do the odd ride to work as well, it’s a very useable all rounder! And the noise  :shocked:

Any other bikers lurking out there?!

Nice!

I've often fancied replacing the thing in the garage I used to have to move to get the mower out. I miss thinking about all of the potential rides I could have on it  :sad:

Very nice Jim....I used to have bikes up until about 10yrs back (still have all my gear in loft.....yes, sad I know! :tongue:) Did a few tours in europe with my missus, provided weathers good nothing better imho

Is that a street fighter version of the multistrada they do?

It's the 939 Hyperstrada which is smaller than Multistrada but it's got the soft panniers (not currently fitted!) and a smaller screen so potential for some touring. Abs, 8 stage traction control and 3 riding modes. Mine also has the Ducati heated grips as well  :smiley:

Yes ..
Great bikes and great fun to ride .I really love my hyper it's such great machine
I will try to get a picture of it with the golf .
The early air cooled are quite primitive but it's hell of a engine for torque
