Hi - Just got a 2017 1200 Monster 2 weeks ago after a 7 year gap without a bike. My first Ducati! Last bike was a 1050 Speed Triple.
Test rode this and a Supersport - strangely got less buffeting at motorway speeds on the Monster!
Lots of grunt, but needs to be a bit noisier. Waiting for more slipons to come onto the market so a £1500 set of Termis isn’t my only option…
