Collecting 1200r This Saturday

  1. Hey Folks

    Just signed up. I'm new to Ducati, but not new to biking. Been riding for over 30+, on all manner of bikes - sports, tourers, and single cylinder trial bikes (started on the ubiquitous FS1E) [​IMG]

    Haven't had a bike for the last 5 years, but I've had a yearning for a Duc since the early 90's, and it has always been on my bucket list. Anyway, time has come to spend some hard earned savings on my first Ducati - a spanking new 1200R, fitted with Termi carbon slip ons. Had a ride on a 1200S last summer, (with termies), and was blown away by the power, handling, stopping capability & of course the thundering BOOM.

    Pick the bike up on Sat 26th (looks like its going to be pi$$ing down) so will be collecting in a van! l try to load up some pictures.....

  2. Enjoy your hard earned.
     
  3. Have on order the same with Termi end cans. Will be interested in your comments on the bike-see the thread 'anyone on a 1200r yet'. Enjoy Saturday and hope some breaks in the cloud.
     
  4. Saw one in a dealer earlier in the week, looks amazing - I wonder if Mrs T would notice the difference between that and the 821 stripe currently residing in the garage...........
     
  5. Having ridden one last weekend, I am pretty sure you will not be disappointed.
     
  6. Thread moved and welcome Dave :)
     
  7. Welcome, I have an S with termis. Sounds great. Someone described adding termis as like unlocking the bass which is a good way of putting it.
