Hi boys and girls. Just joined the forum as I am looking for a 1200 monster.
Currently have my Hayabusa up for sale. As soon as she's gone I will look seriously.
Ive been riding for over 30 years and I've had big vees before - KTM RC8, Firestorm, 2x SV1000S, Aprilia SL750.
Also had lots of IL4 screamers, fireblades, R1, 2x Hayabusas.
I am also tempted by the 1098 Streetfighter. Anyone ever owned or riden one?
Either way, I hope to join the Ducati fold fairly soon.
Cheers
Steve

Welcome Steve.
Good forum this. Loads of useful information and things to get involved with.
Think Piddocks might becoming Ducati agent in your neck of the woods soon !!!

Thanks for that Rob. Didn't know Pidcocks were going to the red side. I purchased a new Blade from them a few years ago. Good outfit as I remember.

I would recommend Neil at Cornerspeed (Sutton in Ashfield) for servicing. Top bloke & official Ducati service.

Hello and welcome

There are a few Streetfighter and ex Streetfighter owners on here so someone should pop up soon. I consider them Monsters anyway and hope to have one myself in the future.

looks like you have owned some pretty tasty stuff over the years, I,m sure a 1200 monster isn,t going to disapoint you. whichever way you go, welcome to the club.

Thanks for the welcome gents. I have been recommended to use corner speed by a Duc owner before. Seems to be a good bloke.
I'm getting restless waiting for the Busa to sell. Can't wait to get a Monster or SF

Going to look at a 2010 1098 Streetfighter and a monster 1200 tomorrow. I will let you know how I get on.

Should pick it up at the end of next week.
