Awaiting first monster!
Hi All,
Thought I'd hop on here to show my excitement lol I'm expecting a delivery date next week which is likely to be the end of next week or the week after for my new Monster 1200! I love the sound of a Ducati Twin and can't wait for the awesome new bike  I'll be sad to see my Street Triple go, but it's time to move on... |

That'll be a massive step from the Street Triple to the 1200.
You'll love it, though the 1200 might end up pulling your arms off as you try and hold on . Hahaha

I've asked the dealer to add a tank pad prior to pick up. Any other essentials suggested?

Tail tidy, rad guards, crash bungs added to my list of things to get sorted!
I'll get the rad guard first as I do quite a bit of mileage. |

R&G make some nice things called 'spindle sliders', which as far as I can tell are virtually the same as their Cotton Reels i.e. crash protection as well as enabling a conventional rear paddock stand. They're about £35.
