M1200r new owner in Somerset

[Mr_Wolf]

Hi
I've just bought an m1200r arriving Jan 3 2023, hoping to find other local Ducati and m1200r owners.

Happy Solstice

Welcome onboard

[Grumpy]

Welcome.

I love my 12r.
She's called ' my ferret on acid'! It's the most fun I've ever had with me clothes on

Welcome to the forum Stefan. You're just down the road from me.

[Luddite]

Welcome aboard. Now that's what I call a Christmas treat (even if it doesn't actually arrive until 3rd January!).

[Mr_Wolf]

Thanks all, looking forward to Jan and getting into the Ducati mindset, been a long time ambition!

so there's 3 of us, just like that, I knew you had a similar bike Grumpy, but didn't know you had replaced with an "R".

Enjoy Mr Wolf.

When did you get yours Chris?

I had sell mine last year but if all goes well will be looking for black again soon.

I purchased mine new 5yrs ago. P/X the std 1200.
I walked into the local dealer to purchase some parts, there in the middle of the showroom was a shiney b!ask 1200r. I took one look, turned to the sales guy and said ' when can you get me one?' Picked her up 6wks later.
Love it. Soooo much fun.

and then there were 5.

they are, almost as much fun as a 1098R on the road and the fuelling at low RPM is far superior. Always have to be ready for clutch snatch from cold especially if not used for a bit.

Mine's been treated to a Rexxer remap.
Improved the fueling right through the rev range. The torque / power is more linear. There's still a step in the power delivery in the upper end of the rev range, just not as big a kick.
The fuel economy has been improved.

Agree about the clutch. The snatch when cold is frustrating. I've bled the clutch slave and line but makes very little difference.

Bought mine new in 2016 from Moto Rapido, only went in for a gear change rubber for my Multistrada

It now has Termi cans, the official Upmap and a StarAce induction kit (new air box intake, sprint filter and new velocity stacks on the throttle bodies), fuelling and throttle response is nigh on perfect, and the punch at about 6k revs is epic, it’ll pick the front up in 3rd at 70 no problem! Never had an issue with the clutch though, it’s got an Oberon slave but that just makes it a tough lighter, never been snatchy
