M1100s in Oxfordshire(?) - Hi!

Hello UKMOC,

Pending a demo ride tomorrow I shall be trading in my Buell xb12s for probably one of the last unregistered M1100s'

The Buell has been GREAT fun but the expiry of the warranty, dwindling support and the time bomb of a gearbox has been playing on my mind.....that and 'just popping in' to Riders whilst working in Bristol last week and seeing a gleeming 1100s there awaiting collection - made me think i've got to get me some of that

They have offered me good money for the Buell and fantastic deal on the Monster, which I guess reflects the imminent release of the evo, personally give me a bit of Ohlins bling over ABS and DTC any day of the week - so I guess I got in there just in time

If all goes well on the demo ride (why wouldn't it!?) I am going to wait a bit and take delivery of my new '11' plate monster on the 1st March

It will have to stay pretty standard barring a tail tidy for a while as it will clean out the 'toy fund', but i'm sure i'll be needing some advice on pipes, opening the clutch up etc etc etc in due course

A few questions if you don't mind.....

Is there any difference between MY09 and MY10 1100s'?

and

Does anyone have any experience good or bad of the SC systems exhausts? They appear to be very well priced compared to Termi's for example...

BTW...this gets me very excited:


Take it easy....
