Hello From Scotland

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by Rusty Eyed, Feb 21, 2019.

  1. Hi guys,

    This is my FIRST Ducati!

    I was about to buy the SSS a few weeks earlier and all set for it. When suddenly a 2017 MTS 1200S + SH, with 822miles on the clock, appreared at the dealership nearby. Dropped the cash and collecting it on Saturday.

    I dont know if this is the same forum for the SSS, it's getting a bit confusing as I introduced myself then.

    Story so far: The SSS was a beautiful bike but for the price I was getting a barely used MTS 1200 S + SH (£11K) which I think is a steal. No panniers or anything. Didnt even test ride it just dropped the cash as I knew I wouldnt get anything for that price and miles.

    Anyone else in Scotland? Would like to meet some of yous over the coming weekends and gain some knowledge on what I have gotten myself into.

    Accessories piled up in the living room so far:
    1. EVOTECH radguard/oil guard/ engine guard
    2. GIVI satnav screen bar
    3. Quadlock adapter to use with GIVI bar to center the phone.

    Things I am pondering about:
    1. Tank Bag
    2. USB power sourcing
    3. Suspension adjustments
    4. Better windscreen ?
    5. Crash bars?
    6. Paint protection?
    Love to hear from you , though I know topic are covered, but as these forums have like gazzillion posts I get tired searching and reading every single comment in them.

    Thanks for reading. Ride safe!

  6. Hi, welcome . I'm in Glasgow, where about are you in Scotland? Not sure what an "sss" is, but the multi s should adjust your suspension on the go.

  17. Welcome David
     
  18. Hi. I did the opposite. I sold my MTS1200 and bought a new Supersport. I have no regrets :)
    I'm in Angus by the way. I seem to remember you asking before when you were first looking at buying a Supersport.
