it may have been late registered
only 93 bikes had fully oval silencers, 94 on they were chamfered for more ground clearance.
Albie is probably the one to ask about the finer details of early bikes, with luck he’ll be along in a mo.

Nope. Early ‘94 bikes had unchamfered silencers too.

Mine are chamfered. They refer to being Cagiva exhausts.

Any chance of loading a pic or two, may help the debate.....although loading pictures is a challenge

Do they mention M600 or M750 as well as M900 as the smaller bikes came out in Autumn ‘94 and ‘96 respectively?

Hello Darkness

No mention of 600/750 , just the 900.

I shall be at Devil's Bridge today for a late lunch if anyone wants a look.

Cheers

Hi Everyone,

I'm John, i own a 4000 mile 2003 S4R in red, my file sizes are way too big to upload a photo unfortunately, so I'll have to take some low resolution images when my bikes back from the shop.

Been riding 8 years, had 4 years off for a career change and this is my first Ducati.

Hi folks

Been on bikes many years and always loved the look and sound of the ducati's, but always held back due to the reliability issues sat on a 916 at a bike show back when they came out, felt it was way too small (i'm 6ft).

Smashed my hip december 2019 (at an ice rink) and thought i'd never get back on a bike again, I have an urban tiger, managed to get back on 6 months later but felt i needed something more upright, kept my eyes open and took a test run on a supermoto but seat height was just a tad to high to get the leg over.

During a chance visit to Ducati Glasgow with a mate checking up for recalls on his triumph, I spotted a ducati monster 1200 had a wee seat on it and thought yeah this is ideal, bit of disinterest from dealer (realised few days later bike was already sold).

Fast forward few weeks local bike dealer had a trade in, a ducati monster 1200r with full termi system and relatively low mileage, a 45 min test ride was all it needed, took it on a mix of local roads, dealer had recommended urban or touring mode but having been on bikes with absolute zero rider aids i quickly switched to sport ......wow ...sold

2 months later and I love this bike wish i'd got one sooner

welcome aboard Stevie, you have some cracking rods up there too, enjoy, your next challenge is to post pictures ...scenic of course,lochs and mountains please

Greetings!

The 1200R was the most powerful model to date, so there should be plenty of fun to be had out in the wilds.

You need to blag a ride on an early M900 to contrast just how much they’ve changed whilst also staying similar to the original concept.

Hello Darkness, (my old friend) , the 1200r is a beast, would be nice to try the different monsters, i may make it my mission to try them all
