From what I read, I believe you are right. It's basically a Super Duke with bags, better passenger accommodations, bigger gas tank, etc. The GT took it a little further.
I sat on GotRoad?'s MultiStrada. Wonderful bike but I don't like being on my toes at a light. I guess a habit from my Harley days. That's why I bought the Hyperstrada over the Hypermotard. The Motard has 3 more inches of inseam. Felt a lot like the Multistrada (he has the Pikes Peak edition).
I guess that's why I like the Duke over the Adventure too and the S1000R over the S1000XR. For me, the Hyper feels like a dirt bike but it can't hold a candle to your KTM's power. Looks like Roger will have my forks done this week for the Hyper, just in tme to put her back together for the COTA MotoGP. Maybe I'll see some of you guys there.
So I guess when I need a power fix, I'll have to get on one of my RC-51s. One is a Mori Stage 2, so that one goes pretty good. Though the R1150S Project Bike is coming along now. I just need to get the damn Duc off the lift so I can get back to the Beemer.
That's a great bike, hope you enjoy it...
