Three ways to make it better

Puig tall screen £91.90

Taller screens are popular, particularly for touring, and the Puig is rated by owners. 50mm taller than stock, made from 3mm high-impact acrylic and available in five colours (including orange!) www.motorcycle-exhausts. co.uk

KTM Power Parts ergonomic seat £279

Another owner recommendation for improving comfort over long distances. Comes in two parts; £149 for the front, £130 for the rear. www.ktm.com

SW Motech engine bars £166

Extra bike protection is always a boon on machines like this and Motech’s are just one of many. Owners also recommend hand, rad and headlamp protectors. www.sw-motech-shop.co.uk

Multistrada-matching road performance combines with classleading dirt ability, particularly on the R, and undervalued residuals to add up to a brilliant and bargain adventure bike — as long as you find a good one.
