    Do you still get the roasted nuts with every model?

    The Multis don't seem to have that feature. Certainly not like the SuperSport, for example. Those things are well toasty at the lights.

    I had a '13 plate Multi (got rid at end of warranty due to its numerous faults), no roasted nuts but the rubber bump stop for the centre stand was located on the cat/silencer and would disintegrate on a regular basis due to the heat there - thus causing centre stand to vibrate on cat and wear the paint off the stand. Only one of the many design flaws on what could have been a good bike. :mad:

    I still love them but various things like heat and maintenance costs keep me on the fence.

    Guess not, it turns off the rear cylinders at idle according to the video.

    My other half is thinking about buying one of those. She says she wants a heated seat as well but I suspect she won't need one.
