First Monster (1200 r)

[Khanivore]

Hi, my second bike was a Ducati 848 Evo which i loved but which i traded in for a Monster 1200 R which I've now had for a couple of weeks. Absolutely LOVE this bike! Taking it on a Euro tour in July and can't wait to spend lots of time on the road with it :)

Welcome along and glad you're enjoying the new bike.

I've been doing a little Euro jaunt on my old '97 900 every year for a few years now and love it.

This years is a little different as taking a ferry to Cherbourg to explore Brittany instead of the Dover Calais tunnel route I've done previously.

Where are you planning on visiting?

Hello and welcome, I'm loving the R too, after 45 odd years of riding bikes it's the best road bike I've ever ridden, going to test it at Donington in the morning :-D

Hi, Welcome.

I also love my R. Reminds me most of my Monster900 flick-able and fun but way more power.

For now there is none better.....
Enjoy.

Sorry for the delay - leaving a week on Tuesday. Nervous and excited! Having a bit of a luggage fail. Will start a thread on it!

don’t know how experienced you are on bikes?
go gently, r is a awesome beast.
std. tyres not ideal for road (don’t worry, bike will eat them in a few 1000 miles)

Welcome. I used to live near you so will keep an eye out for when I'm back on the road.
Loved my 1200 Stripe...

My 1200R absolutely rocks, best road bike I’ve ridden in 30 years! Bought mine on recommendation from Slob and MotoNik, so I blame them for my debts....

BTW - are you Dubcat on the Ducati Forum?

you guys have time for other forums too?!

Took my monster for my first motorcycle tour. We went via France to the Picos mountains in Spain. 2000 miles in a week and my riding has improved dramatically. The bike was amazing at all times. I’m so happy with it!
