Looking for something to replace the Hyper 1100 and now have a M1200R in my sights, are they reliable and good to ride etc
Good to hear know real problems. I might commute sometimes in nice weather, how do they behave in town or slow speed traffic.
The S is probably the better day to day bike a little easier in town but the R comes in to its own when you get a move on, it’s an epic engine and chassis combo, best real roads bike I’ve ridden in 35+ years
Quite a few out there, nearly always trade, and lower threshold seems to be around the 10 1/2 at the moment.
The Monster 1200R is probably the best all round road bike I have ridden in 36 years of riding and 20 years working in a Ducati dealership so definitely a good choice, the only downside is they don't come in yellow!
I went to look at a black one in Waterlooville and was sorely tempted, if only he had dropped another £500, I still marginally prefer red but not a lot in it.
If you want something for traffic, buy a scooter. 1200R is fabulous on the open road, but it is not a commuter.
As this thread has got all our attention, how many of you get clutch-grab when cold? This is the first wet clutch bike that keeps me on my toes here, as pretty severe, seems almost characteristic and affects "R" with slipper only it appear. Completely disappears after 5 - 10 minutes so happy to live with it.
