2013 monster riding position

[Curmudgeon]

The reason I was asking is I was looking at monsterpars.com, they show 2 types of conical handlebars, standard and touring, I was wondering which u have. Thanks for the help.

None are really touring. That's his terminology. I believe mine are MA008. http://www.rizoma.com/universal/handlebars/ma005-008-010/en?MOTO=50412177-50462984-R Click on Technical Info.

Ahhh... My dealer got mine here. More info. You have to drill holes for the locating pegs on the controls. Had all this done before I picked up the bike. Not my first Ducati. Everything in my signature line was installed prior to delivery. http://www.motovationusa.com/mvstore/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=562

I'm 73 and own a Monster 1100S.  I find it comfortable at speed but a little less in town.  I can easily do 350 miles and could probably do 500.  I test rode a Hypermotard and found the seating position great but it was tiring trying to hold on over 70. 

From time to time I think I would be better off with the Hyper but at the end of the day I'm pleased with the monster.
