1200 R Monster 1200 R

Not had clutch issues like grabbing, have put an Oberon slave on though, makes it a bit more civilised

 

that's probably the best approach to it Vinnie.

 

I sold my Hyper to get my 1200 R, miss the Hyper but love the Monster.

 

Seems like it's identical to my Hyper 939 wet (slipper) clutch, which is really grabby as I manouvre it down the side of my house. Perfect after that...

 

I used to commute on a 1200 R, they are fantastic. The obvious rear brake, had it bled three times in 1 month and then gave up. No wind protection as you would expect. But absolutely brilliant in every other respect.... oh, expect one ridiculous point, when its raining you get soaked from the rear tyre

 

I love mine, plus never experienced a clutch issue but as said by someone else I do let it warm up before going out if that makes a difference?

 

Jonny, how can one person be so right and so wrong in one sentence, best bike ever but not yellow!

 

Black is best

 

All I can say is Yellow bikes make the world a happier place, there is enough gloom and doom without "painting it black" to quote the Rolling Stones!!!

 

Nothing to do with me aside from I know the owner of Premier

nice 1200R for sale at what looks like a pretty decent price

Black is best

 

If it's a super naked you're after why not just buy the best….an Aprilia Tuono?

Is there a mic drop emoji here?

 

Is that Cerakote on the exhaust?

 

ceramic coating done by Zircotec (Oxford) a few years back....

 

How’s it holding up?

 

Pretty good, considering it was about 5 years ago they did it.

 

Looks fantastic in the pic, love it, but if it flakes off or discolours that would be seriously annoying.

 

It could be because its a Aprillia and not a Ducati
