  5. It looks that way, the press release does state that it will be the most powerful naked Ducati to date...

  10. I have a 1200S Stripe on loan whilst my 899 is in looking into the stuck throttle. Its a great bike for anybody with small feet. I hope this might not have the pillion peg's as part of the frame so I can try it and fit my feet on properly.

  14. Amen to that I've had the 1200S 3 days and I need new toe sliders and a foot reduction.

  16. OK. I'm looking forward to this in my capacity as ex-1098 SF and beleaguered 2014 Tuono owner.

    My gripes about the monster 12 were its softness and lack of room on the pegs. Hopefully they've addressed these with the R. If they have then my money is ready and waiting.

  17. I hope this is good, I'll trade my 1200S in if they sort the footpegs, well if it has 160+ HP I'll trade it in footpegs or not. Semi active Ohlins suspension would be ace!

  18. Oh dear, went for s1r instead of monster1200s..2016 might get expensive!

  19. I can't imagine them sorting the peg thing, would be too much of a change?
     
    #19 Monners, Sep 11, 2015
  20. think its sorted, separate footrest hangers (front and pillion) plus a recess in silencer
