Stunning looking machine.

Hi, I bought a 16 plate monster 1200 R at the end of August and I'm delighted with it.

I've put some Evotech guards and tail tidy on and a wee Gilles oil cap.

It came with the Shotgun Termis and a squared off rear OEM Pirelli which has now been changed for a set of Power RS's

I love the power delivery of a vee twin and have previously owned an 08 factory Tuono which I put 34K miles on and more recently a 16 plate 1290 SDR which I managed 19K miles before I traded it for the Monster.

I was directed here by a link sent from Kriega,,,,,,cheers guys.

Managed out for a wee hurl on Sunday and ended up in Tarbert Loch Fyne, mostly dry roads but damp in the shadows but great to out in November.

A wee pic of my machine at Tarbert.
Cheers.

Aldo.

Just a quick note to say I’ve had my 1200DVT deep cleaned and ACF50’d again this year by All year Biker, specifically Steve in Warrington. If you use your bike in the wet or over winter, I can’t recommend it enough. £70 for 3 hours of deep clean then application of ACF50 by air compressor. Bargain. Note, I have no affiliation to the company, nor do I gain anything from promoting them. I’m simply a customer who’s very happy. I genuinely think the bike looks better than when it left the showroom.

Today I packed my Paul Smart 1000 away for the winter so hoping it will still be perfect next year:
* Removed the mirrors and packed separately.
* Drained the petrol.
* Removed the battery, to be charged separately.
* Positioned the bike on an Abba stand, with both wheels off the ground.
* Put it inside a Vac-bag along with a packet of Drisorb granules, and sucked out the air with a vacuum cleaner.

Wishing everyone a happy and safe Halloween from Southern California!

It seems that the “bitching season” has already started and members are already getting fractious with each other (and we are not into November yet).

Can I suggest that if you disagree/dislike someone or something that you either STFU and walk away from the thread or put that person on ignore. (The forum rules are also worth a read in case you don’t know or understand what you’ve signed up to.)

You’ll have a much nicer forum experience and you won’t make me grumpy and make me get involved.

Thanks for your understanding.

Thread closed.

Just had my 899 serviced and MOT'd by Paul at PG performance in Eastleigh near Southampton.
He was recommended by a few people on the forum, and I'm very glad I contacted him. Great service, great communication, and a fantastic price. Picked up and dropped the bike from me all the way in Bristol at a time that suited me. Fixed a problem that Riders Bristol couldn't work out as well. Nothing but good things to report.

Many thanks @PGP for your great service! Highly recommended.

MCN bike of the year and sportsbike of the year awards for the Panigale V4S
The Panigale V4 S also named best motorbike in the Sun Motor awards
Panigale V4 S completes hat-trick of major awards


The Ducati Panigale V4 added to its collection of accolades by being named bike of the year and sportsbike of year in the 2018 MCN awards.

The latest generation Ducati sportsbike has been described as ‘technical masterpiece’ by Motorcycle News and lauded for its prowess on both track and road.

MCN road tester, Michael Neeves said of the V4 S, “No superbike comes with such, speed, power and technology, mixed with style beauty and surprisingly civility. Best of all the V4 S makes you feel so special and it’s so unutterably gorgeous that you can’t take your eyes of it. The Ducati Panigale V4 S is everything an exotic superbike should be and so much more."

The latest awards from MCN for the Panigale V4 follows the recent Sun Motors award for best motorbike, the Ducati was chosen by the...

Managed to actually get out today, 100 miles or so down top Steel Horse outside Abergavenny (nice little place, worth a visit for coffee).

First thoughts:
Wow its different to the multi, cant believe how different. Not a great deal of comfort to start with, pegs are quite high, lots of weight thru the shoulders. Got better as I adjusted and sat as if on a sports bike.

But very light, so easy to steer and change direction, so much so I kept hugging inside not outside of corners as its too easy to turn at the speed I was going. Compared to the multi, its like switching from a Hercules to a spitfire (or at least, what I imagine it to be like ). I reckon if ridden with nobody weight hitting around this thing will cut thru turns so easily. But will need more speed to make sense...Harder to ride fast off the bat IMHO, and will take some getting used to.

The higher screen I put on made 80mph cruise easy, as is the cruise control. In fact all the controls are easy and...
