M1200r new owner in Somerset
Hi
I've just bought an m1200r arriving Jan 3 2023, hoping to find other local Ducati and m1200r owners. Happy Solstice Stefan |

Welcome.
I love my 12r. She's called ' my ferret on acid'! It's the most fun I've ever had with me clothes on

Welcome aboard. Now that's what I call a Christmas treat (even if it doesn't actually arrive until 3rd January!).

so there's 3 of us, just like that, I knew you had a similar bike Grumpy, but didn't know you had replaced with an "R".
Enjoy Mr Wolf.

I walked into the local dealer to purchase some parts, there in the middle of the showroom was a shiney b!ask 1200r. I took one look, turned to the sales guy and said ' when can you get me one?' Picked her up 6wks later. Love it. Soooo much fun.

Improved the fueling right through the rev range. The torque / power is more linear. There's still a step in the power delivery in the upper end of the rev range, just not as big a kick. The fuel economy has been improved. Agree about the clutch. The snatch when cold is frustrating. I've bled the clutch slave and line but makes very little difference.

It now has Termi cans, the official Upmap and a StarAce induction kit (new air box intake, sprint filter and new velocity stacks on the throttle bodies), fuelling and throttle response is nigh on perfect, and the punch at about 6k revs is epic, it’ll pick the front up in 3rd at 70 no problem! Never had an issue with the clutch though, it’s got an Oberon slave but that just makes it a tough lighter, never been snatchy
