This past weekend I had a chance to ride the Monster 1200s and S1000R back to back on the track. (I have also ridden them back to back on the road)
Personally, if I wanted one bike to do most things the S1000R wins by a mile. It’s so easy to ride. You can ride it slowly to the shop to buy milk and bread and be with peace with the world. For a little touring I would put on the little headlight fairing and I am sure you could ride all day without a problem. On the track it out performs the Monster. Its turns so easy and is so nimble. You get the feeling you are riding a ball.

The Monster 1200s on the other hand was a bag of fun on the street. The L-Twin torque turns you turn into this hooligan that wheelies from every traffic light and Stop sign. The sound from the Termignoni pipes is eargasmic. Touring I guess would be tough because there is no fairing option and I don't believe it should have that option. On the track it needed a little more muscle to flick about in the corners. If I had a few bikes this would be the one to have when misbehaving with the boys. I WANT ONE SO BADLY!

Corrected for you bradders - thank me in your own time.

I really enjoyed a demo ride on one when they first came out. Surprisingly good bike, and massive grin factor. Flat bars or clip ons, maybe a headlamp swap from a street fighter and it would look brutal.

 

@bradders just buy my 1198 and be done with it.

 

Buy the 1198. Awesome bike
It's got that much torque you could probably fit a tow bar and tow a caravan to burnham on sea with it,everyone's happy then
