Coming here after having owned the 99 750M, the 2001 S4, and most recently the S2R 800. Can say man the S2R 800 is in just such a sweet spot. Of course this 1200S is way different but i think that for the most part S2R gives me all the crazy feelings without any of the tech. I sold my streeetfighter v4 and while i do miss the INSANE top end power the S2R feels like such a perfect bike for my riding. Oldschool monsters are just such a joy to ride.

I owe one of these and it is definately great fun. About neutral, yes it is a problem, but if you do it properly which is getting it done before you stop you get your problem solved. Most reviews get all the pros and cons accurately, heat on heavy traffic, gearbox false neutral between 4th and 5th, very nimble, great torque, fun, easy to ride, great electronic package, quick shift is ok. Maintenance cost is ok (EU) for premium brand.

Brilliant review mate🤙🏼 I own a 2018 Monster and did a review on my channel about a month ago. So glad to see you have similar views of the bike. I absolutely love my Monster. It will be a sad day when I eventually get rid of her. I have to disagree about the mirror's thought, I put bar ends on mine because I could barely see behind me with the OEM ones. Plus I didn't like the look of the stock mirrors. Yeah, the finding neutral thing was a pain to begin with but over time I have either sussed it out or it's gotten better. I found it was worse during the run-in period. Keep up the good work 😉

When you change the oil, the metal on the magnet drain plug is from the clutch . Even with the Quick shiftier, I usually I use the clutch . The higher the RPM quick shiftier works well.. REMEMBER these bikes were designed and love high rpm. I ordered a 2020 V4 S street fighter, last S available , 3 weeks ago, in Greensboro N.C. area !! Selling the Monster with 1, 560 miles on it too make room for the Street Fighter. By the way , you convinced me in to getting a Scrambler as well lol Be safe

Officially tuono 1100 is king of the track as far as naked market goes and s1000r is right behind aprillia. But ktm making huge track performance improvements in 2020 so lets hope your list will be accurate in 2020.

I like the big L twin engines. In the real world perfect for road riding. KTM , Streetfighter etc absolute power but to ride them in the real world Mr. Bosch has to have an input. I have a 07 1098S racing computer, exhaust etc blah blah it's 170 plus HP and not much more in weight. No Mr Bosch and it's a handful. This Monster is sweet and comfortable .
