.... and love it! unfortunately not the best day to get out and about but a break in the rain this afternoon and i popped out for a bit. absolutely brilliant, looks the nuts, pulls like a train, perfect riding position for me too. to be honest first time i saw @tcrofty7 on here i wanted one. i pulled the trigger on this and then 2 came up for sale on here! but Ducati Leeds have been good so i'm happy
Thanks mate. My heart sank a little when I saw yours up for sale, it was a beaut. I’m loving it, loads of torque, hit 6,000 rpm and just keeps pulling. Puig screen and throttle spacer on order and I’m going to keep my eye out for a belly pan I think, they look really good
+1 on the throttle spacer, made quite a difference on my 1200r. Unfortunately I've hardly used the bike because of work , family etc, may be for sale soon.
I can only imagine that they intentionally engineer in a bit of 'slop' to mimic the free play on a cable throttle. The general consensus is that this doesn't really work. A throttle spacer makes the world of difference IMHO, eliminating that ambiguity from zero to minimal throttle situations. This must have reached the engineering design team by now, is there a valid reason for them to not rectify this?
Quite possibly a marmite thing, a few others have said similar. But of those that have fitted a throttle spacer I haven't heard anyone who's regreted it and then removed it up go back to how it was... maybe I will now though...
Well, throttle spacer fitted and it’s loads better. Maybe just it’s what feels like what you used to but for me i much prefer it
Getting as common as muck these monster Rs. Think I'm going have to sell mine Regarding the spacers, I've never had a problem but if I did fit them I would more than likely feel the difference.
Apparently, Ducati have stopped production of The Monster 1200. It has been deleted from the website. Only the 937 model is available now.
