Coupes Moto Legends - Dijon

[Gizmo]

Been thinking about doing this one for a couple of years and noticed MSL do a package http://www.msltours.co.uk/2009-03-CoupeMotoLegende/index.html

Would anyone else be up for doing this? Its meant to be fantastic event and the MSL tour gets a lot of good press.

Hi Mike - I'm booked, taking the MV

 

[Gizmo]

travelling light i hope if you are on MV I'd have liked to take the Smart but think its a bit lacking on comfort and luggage carrying Hopefully someone from up here might join in, could do with a bit of company down to Dover, there ain't any nice way to do it

Did 1600 miles over a long weekend on a F4 750 in France in '04 - armchair compared with a Smart

Ventura do a system for the MV - unfortunately only for the Ducati GT Classic, not the Smart :thumbsdown:

it would be a bagster tank bag and rucksack if i took it, not sure my neck could stand it GS seems a lot more sensible, panniers plus tank bag for camera :thumbs:

The GS is brilliant! I lead a DSC ride-out on mine a couple of years ago and I left them for dead on the B roads - I loved it. Unfortunately my legs are too short so I got rid of it but I know when the sportsbike days are over I'll get another one as they've pepped up the engine and offer a lower seat. That is unless the Multistrada replacement comes up trumps

I am off to Motogiro and if i am brave i will go on my PS but if i am not then it will be the Multi. You can get a Ventura system for the PS

 

[Gizmo]

Well its an option, not sure on the look though

May be slightly off topic but talking of luggage does any one know of decent luggage for a Monster S2R?

I have looked at the Ducati one but it only holds 21lts. I've heard you can get extension brackets for over the exhausts but can't find them. Any ideas?

Not sure about the look of the Ventura luggage for the PS either Michael.

That's interesting - it wasn't on the list of models on their website

Any pics of the F4 loaded up Henners??

Would be interested to see that for obvious reasons.....

I plan to buy it in May before going to France - will post photos if you wish, there aren't any on the Ventura website.
