Welcome Ecko. That looks lovely. There is a London Branch meet this Saturday at Bolt in Hackney if you want to collect some oohs and aahs and 'what''l it do mister?'s

Nice one thanks. I've got some errands to run near there in the morning so I'll try to swing past.

Hello From Sheffield! I'm thinking of getting a second hand M1200S in the near future as my next bike so I've joined this forum to find out what it is like to live with the Monster :-) and what problems there are, how difficult it is to do home servicing / repairs / tweaks, if spares are available etc. My main concern is that I might miss the power of the Blade.

Hello

Hi everyone new to all this but just want to say hello I've owned a 696 anniversary for two years from new and had a 916 for 8 years before that but have now fallen prey to an eleven nine eight but really enjoyed the 696 I now live in Somerset after moving away for 7 years to sunny Devon one of the reasons for joining the monster club is to be involved with the Ducati movement and visit Ducati meetings and ride outs another is I have a few newish items that I have for sale from the 696 I had, I intended to purchase an new monster 1200 but non of the stuff would fit then as I say fell victim to my 1198 thanks for reading my introduction and hope to find out about meetings and ride outs through this site.

Hi,
New to Monster but not to bikes, can any one advise who or where is the best place in the Manchester area for carb tuning. I need my 600 carbs looking at.
Thanks in advance.

Hi SpeedoX, sorry I missed your post from May! I have a 1200S & I can assure you you won't miss the power of a Blade. I have a 163 RW BHP GSXR1000 so I'm used to something similar to your Blade. The Monster has 135+ at the rear wheel (145 on paper). The 92ft lbs of torque is delivered so fast (85% below 4500 rpm, max at 7250) that you'll wonder what a 4 cylinder is all about. It pulls your arms out when you get past those revs. I've found this bike to be the best money I've ever spent on 2 wheels. I can't rave about it enough. I put a Remus Hypercone on it & took the baffle out. 'Kin gawjus!
Have you bought yet?

Hi All
from sunny Suffolk not
Ive owned several Ducatis including 3 Monsters this being the latest one
M900S ie

Here she is nearly done after a good clean and new chain/sprockets/ oils/ fork seals etc etc


Wanted an S (read somewhere they produce more bhp) probably dont
and wanted ie anyway so Im not tempted to fiddle too much (carbs in bits everywhere etc)

Hello an welcome Rocker66.

Hey I've got one of those...Year 2000 yes?

I think the "S" has a standard 900ie engine, but that won't dissapoint in any way.

The "S" for 2000 had all the carbon that yours has, as standard and also a little plastic hugger extension under the swinging arm. Also fully adjustable Showa Forks and fully adjustable Ohlins rear shock with remote resevoir.
They also came with a fully floating rear brake set up, and rubbers on the footrests.

You've struck Gold mate...Really nice example of the top Monster...

You have also joined up in time to catch the Great UKMOC Teddy Bears Picnic on 6th Sepember, at Walkers Café, Mildenhall.....That's a few yards down the Brandon Road from the Barton Mills roundabout on the A11.

See you there around Noon then??..
