In answer to your question, yes the 1200 monster stopped production earlier this year, the R stopped in 2018/19.

If you want to bimble with occasional spirited rides the S is more everyday friendly than the R - the R needs to be ridden harder to get the best out of it, it’s sharper, more focused than the S. It eats tyres too, I get about 17-1800 miles out of a pair on my R.

£10k will get you a later model S, don’t bother with the base model
