  1. Had a good ride of my brothers monster 1200s today. Thought some folks might appreciate my thoughts.
    I ride a 959 and haven't owned a naked bike since 2014 but have ridden most things including the yamaha mt10.
    First thing you will notice especially coming from a sportsbike is the lack of wind protection even for a naked. I found the suspension very plush with the usual floaty front end feeling you get with a naked bike. Very easy bike to ride quick and engine feels smooth with strong bottom end maybe taling off at higher revs compared to an mt10. Quick shifter and blipper work good but not great. My 959 Quick shifter definately works better. Think cut off time is slightly too long compared. Overall a very nice bike. Could I own one? Yes but would I buy one over a tuono v4? Id have to ride both. But anyone with any questions if you're thinking of buying one fire away.
