Bought a 2014 Ducati Monster 1200S from a Kentucky dealer. It had just over 1,000 miles on it, and mint condition. Low-balled them and they took it. I live in the Indy area. Started riding in 2012 with a Suzuki SV650, then had a Yamaha FZ-09, now I have this...
WAY more bike than I can need. I have it on Urban mode right now and it still is a blast. The torque is amazing, and this is coming from someone who had a Yamaha Triple (granted, 60lbs of torque vs 100 with the Ducati).
Mods will be:
1) maybe wind hand guards - recommendation needed
2) maybe removable touring windshield - recommendation needed
3) frame rail sliders - recommendation needed
4) moving the license plate up - I don't care for the mud guard on the 1200S - recommendation needed
5) maybe a after market muffler
For now, when it's 50 and not rainy I try to get out and ride. It's been since May since I have ridden so just trying to get back those good habits. Can't imagine I'll ever get the full use out of it, but the bike certainly is fun so far.
