  1. Hello,
    I have just bought a new MTS 1200ABS (red) after 3 years on a BMW R1200GS which was my first ever "sit up" bike which replaced my Fireblade (wrists and othe rparts had given up on me - I think it's called old age ! I was lookingat buying a new water-cooled BMW but I got a good deal on a MTS. I've had it for a couple of weeks and it's been run in nice and gently and I did the Ducati track day at donnington last week to see how it would perform but the rain put a stop to that. I have to say I am disappointed by the low speed performance in Urban mode whilst drivning in slow stop start traffic finding it very snathcy to control typically 1st/2nd gear up to 25mph ???
    No issues going fast
