I ride in Chicago too and could give a flying f*ck about shifting at this point. Yeah, I get some folks like to feel like they are a motoGP wannabe, but I am looking just making my ride less burdensome in heavy traffic.

I’m looking forward to it. As someone who commutes a lot in stop and go traffic, I really don’t want to be bothered with shifting. I know motorcyclists are a luddite bunch and I am probably the odd duck, but I just see shifting at pointless given current technology.

Day late and dollar short. BMW already offers this on their 2016 C650 GT maxi-scooter. There is a small light on the stalk of the rear view mirrors that lights up if a car is in your blind spot.

Honestly, just like the looks of it better than the regular Multi. I like the grey color. Seems to have better wind protection. Larger tank. More leg room. Not sure yet though. The regular multi is probably fine too. Just need to see the Enduro in person to really know if it is what I am looking for. Only complaint is…

I’m considering purchasing one of these bikes. Short list is the Multistrada enduro, BMW s1000xr, and up until their bankruptcy, the MV Turismo Veloce.
