Title: New to Monster Post by: tufty1909 on February 05, 2012, 11:26:57 AM Hi all,
I am at present selling a BMW R1200RT and considering buying a monster but am in a quandary as to which model I should look at; the models I am cosidering are the S4R, S4RS or a 1100. I am a fairly spirited rider and like some power, tending to ride a bike to its limits. Some ideas and advise would be good please, on the pros and cons opf the above models? [drink] Title: Re: New to Monster Post by: fastwin on February 05, 2012, 12:01:28 PM That's a good question to ask on this forum. Since my Monster is not on your list I'll let others chime in. Any reason for selling the Bimmer? That's a nice ride. [thumbsup] [Dolph] Or are you just looking for something different and want to try a Duc?
Title: Re: New to Monster Post by: Travman on February 05, 2012, 04:52:14 PM Out of the choice of the three I'd go with the S4RS. It has the classic looks, the most power, best brakes (monblock radial Brembos), and best suspension (Ohlins front & back).

OK, really the S4r for street, if you're going to do track days, get the Rs. Title: Re: New to Monster Post by: tufty1909 on February 06, 2012, 04:45:04 AM Quote Any reason for selling the Bimmer? That's a nice ride. one of the reasons is commercial, others not using it enough, usually short journeys, no good for town/filtering etc. something lighter would be better; power delivery not punchy enough; want to return to a motorcycle that is actually that and not heading for a car, already have one of those! naked machine would slow me down, there is a temptation to ride long distances at licence loosing speeds with a fairing!how does the power torque of the 1100 compare to the r and rs? Title: Re: New to Monster Post by: muskrat on February 06, 2012, 05:28:42 AM Ride them all first. I believe the s4?series will offer more than enough smiles if you want torque.

Power wheelies up to 3rd gear :D
Title: Re: New to Monster Post by: DucDiver on February 07, 2012, 06:41:50 AM S4Rs, have to tell you of all the bikes I've had, finally found the perfect combination. R1200RT (for distance) MTS1100S for fun.
I had an S4R and was going too fast all the time could not afford the tickets.. [leo] Title: Re: New to Monster Post by: MadDuck on February 07, 2012, 08:29:27 AM S4Rs for sure out of that bunch that you listed. You might also consider a Streetfighter. [thumbsup]
Title: Re: New to Monster Post by: Billyzoom on February 07, 2012, 05:49:43 PM As the owner of an S4Rs, I feel obligated to inform you that owning one will certainly not slow you down. I also think it would be questionable that you would be able to wring it out on the streets. If you want a bike you can wring out fully I'd suggest a 620. They only go 140. [evil]
