Hi . . . I'm a long time rider, but first time on a Ducati . . . Came from a background of dirt bikes . . . yams etc . . . after a prang in a pine forest that very nearly killed me, I moved to road bikes . . the usual Japanese brands, Honda, Suzuki, no Kawasaki's . . . never liked them . . I then fell in love with an Aprilia Falco . . . modded that bike within an inch of its life . . then stupidly sold it . . . bought a gen 1 Tuono and that was a huge mistake . . great bike when it did not break down with endless electrical gremilins . . . then made a bigger mistake, bought a Tiger 1050 . . . enough said . . after riding a friends MTS . . . that was it . . I bought a used one, 2011 S Touring with 38ks on it . . . absolutely love it . . comfort, handling, power to burn . . does everything I could ever want . . I had my Falco 10 years . . plan to keep this MTS just as long . . Looking forward to learning a lot more about what make this bike tick . . . Steve
I've had a 2010 MTS1200S (Ohlins etc) and the 2013 PP.....nearly 45K miles on them. Currently up on chocks...not the bikes fault, but neither are with us any more. I think it's the best bike I've ever had. Nature/healing willing..... I'll get another. Welcome Steve. All the best Paul

Thanks for the welcome... feeling all warn n fuzzy.... could be the bourbon... yeah it suck being a newbie... gotta pay your dues etc... Try and invent reason to post to get the old post count up past 1.... make new friends... Im guessing Paul had an off.. hope your okay... and Ducbird... you need red wheels... was the Gordon ref Gordon Ramsay... no relation... but I have met him...
We are always inventing posts so you will fit in well just make sure you keep out of technical doing so I had two sets of red wheels the next set are being saved for
Greetings & welcome. I had a gen 2 Tuono for 4 years, must have been lucky as it had no problems other than the clocks misting up a bit in the hot sun. Enjoy
The Gen 1 T is one of the best looking bikes on the road . . . still love the look and that brilliant motor . . . I just could not trust the electrics . . three times it had to be picked up and delivered home . . . DOH . . . Heres a shot I took just before I sold it . . .
