Just joined the site as I am thinking of getting the new 1200r monster. Hoping to get a test ride in up here once the weather cooperates. Currently ride a K1300s, and want to get something lighter with a shorter wheelbase. I usually do 300 to 400 mile rides, generally by myself so I don't have to stop all the time... One subject I need to get a better handle on is how reliable are Monsters? I did come across a site which posts a number of pretty serious complaints. The last thing I want to do is trade in my bike for an $18,000 new bike and get stranded in the middle of nowhere. Would appreciate any feedback you can give me. Thanks Wilman Title: Re: New Member Post by: stopintime on March 26, 2016, 10:23:54 AM Welcome [thumbsup]
keep an eye on the normal services + the little extras, such as tire pressure, oil level, chain lube and adjustments. What were the things this site warned about? Title: Re: New Member Post by: wilman on March 30, 2016, 10:21:57 AM Hi thanks
I don't have any problems having the regular service done, as I have brought my K bikes in every 6,000 miles religiously for the last fifteen years or so. The site popped up when I was looking at ducati reviews. Though I am sure this may be a limited griping group based upon bad dealer experiences, the last thing I want to do is have my bike break down on me in the middle of nowhere late on a Sunday. Starting problems, stalling problems, gas tank issues, etc. Hopefully no one will get too pissed over the title, but this is it. http://ducatisucks.net/ (http://ducatisucks.net/) |
