Hi all I've just returned to riding after an unwanted break due to the normal things in life like parenting and finances etc. I'm absolutely delighted to be back on two wheels and this is my first Ducati and dream bike. I've ridden on and off since my teens from field bikes through to Harley's and I've spent the last six months researching the perfect bike for me... half the fun! Being 6'6" and wanting relative comfort but craving a performance machine I arrived at the Monster and rapidly found my way to the 1200R despite originally looking at the S. The R just fits me perfectly with the extra height and every time I set on it my heart pounded... a test ride sealed it. 2 months scanning the country for the perfect bike and toying with new ended sharply with this find ironically at my local dealer! As new with 1700 miles and half of the Performance catalogue already fitted... I found my dream bike One week and 250 miles in and I'm blown away. I work for Mercedes-benz so I'm used to nice kit but this is something else. I'm very pleased to join the community and thought it was time to say Hi!! Mark.

Wow, 6ft 6 and it fits? My overriding impression from the newer monsters was they felt small for me at 6ft 3. Is the R taller or roomier then? Never tried one myself but intrigued. Welcome by the way
We run an UKMOC WhatsApp group for Wiltshire and surrounding areas, ping me a message with your number if you want to join Ped PS 1200R monsters are epic fun, not that I’m biased, bought mine without a test ride, not disappointed!
