Hi all.
Been lurking here for a while. I'm currently running a Ducat Multistrada 1200 - but have had a soft spot for the Trophy for some time. Had a go on the Tiger 12 last year and have finally managed to get a few hours in on the Trophy.
I was very pleasantly surprised with the bike.
I was expecting to be underwhelmed with it, due to the size and weight vis the Multi - but i was really impressed with how well the big girl can move. Not only getting off the line quickly, but in it's balance and feel. Feels like a much smaller bike.
The brakes and driveline were excellent, fuelling spot on and controls felt positive and the whole bike had a quality feel to it.
My only slight qualm was the lack of leg room. Admittedly, i didn't move the seat from the position it was left in and i am used to the long legged nature of the Multi, however, i guess that's something i could adapt to in the long run.
I am not sure whether i'll get one - as i do love the dynamic capabilities of the Multi - but the Trophy is one great bike.
All the best.
