Glad you weren’t seriously injured. Do you think there is a big difference between yours and the 1200 S model?? I found a 2018 leftover 1200 which I am considering. Thanks!!!
Hello, great great bike, I actually own a Monster 696, I am looking forward an upgrade in 2020, but I am also looking at the Honda CB 1000 R 2019 or the MT 10 Yamaha... I am looking forward to get a modern naked bike. How does they compare to the 1200 Monster? Thanks @Axe991
I tried both of them, you can check my vids. There is also a brief overview in the video description. Among the three I liked the Yamaha the least. The base model has the braking and suspensions too soft for a sportier use. The cb and the monster are much more fun to ride. The Honda is a bit more comfortable than the Ducati. Also the Honda has more torque al lower revs than the Yamaha, but not as much as the Ducati. They are all incredible bikes, but I personally would not choose the Yamaha
@@Axe991 thanks! Of course I saw your videos! I wanted to get your personal thoughts... I do prefer the Honda and the Ducati and I love my "little" 696, I am afraid that the 1200 looks and feels too much the same except for the power and electronics of course... And the Honda seems a bit underrated... Did you notice big discrepancies in term of confort and consumption for a daily work/home commuting?? I use mine almost every day... Greetings, Thomas
Hey again. You said that you experienced some issues with the quickshifter. I've also read about it in the forums and will ask my garage tomorrow when I finally get the bike about it. What was your issue and how has it been resolved? Did you have any failures since then? Greetings
Hi! You have to be very decise with the movement in order for the DQS to work properly. And even in that case I have sometimes a long “hole” between 1st and 2nd gear (last time on track I headbutted my windshield because of this) and sometimes a false neutral between 5th and 6th. It’s not perfect in downshift either, so I usually pinch a bit the clutch anyway. But is it better without? Absolutely not!
I do not know if it's an issue with my bike in particular or with the system in general. After a crash I had to change the DQS, so I think that it might be the system in general, unfortunately. I cannot remember if there were any issues when I test rode the supersport though...
Nice man 🙂 I wanna buy one next month. 15 years ago my first Bike was a Kawasaki z1000 ...and after that i bought me a gsxr-r 750 k7. Its been 11 years now since i had a bike. Question for you 🙂 Do you think its managable and safe to ride such “monster” after 12 years not having a bike ? After al these years i consider myself again like a newbie ,you know 🙂 Thx.
Wow! You started with an old Z1000? You can ride anything you want! Getting more serious, thanks to the electronics it is manageable and safe, but you probably won’t enjoy it. I still can’t (and don’t want) enjoy it fully on the road, there’s just too much power. Maybe it’s best if you start with the 821? It’s just my advice, you have to follow your heart 😊
In the S, during the day, only the LED strip stays on and it has a light sensor to turn on the headlight when it’s dark. In mine the headlight stays always on above the LED strip
@@Axe991 oh... Not a big deal at all to be honest.... I am planning to buy 1200 and install dqs instead of paying for the S model. Really nice bike you have.
Awesome bike I’ve just brought one.
Cheers! And good luck 🍀

Depends on your skills and on the use you’re gonna make. For track and an experienced rider, the S is better. For street use the normal is just fine
Nice, I thought this was in Campania. Looks just like the road leading up to Ravello.
Never been there! But the southern part of the tyrrenian coast is quite similar and beautiful

Stupenda, complimenti per l'acquisto! Qual è stata la dinamica dell'incidente?
Ero su una statale e un tizio non si è fermato allo stop. Mi ha preso in pieno di lato, per fortuna avevo gli stivaletti

@@Axe991 Ah, so it's still not perfect? Hope I can live with that. ;) XD

@@Axe991 Hope mine behaves otherwise I'll be using my warranty and make it the dealers problem to figure it out ^^
Fingers crossed 🤞
Did you regret your old Monster 620 or do you prefer this new motorbike 1200?
I love this new Monster 1200. But the 620 was a good bike.
Nice man 🙂
I wanna buy one next month.

Funny man ;)
But thx for your reply 🙂
very nice bike and very nice sound! can you tell me the Zoom settings of your recording?
I cannot remember exactly what I used in this video. Right now I’m using “MS” mode, gain 5, wav mode
Awesome video!
Thanks!
Does it have LED light strip in the front? Nice video
Yeah, she does. But unfortunately it’s not a DRL as in the 1200S
@@Axe991 thanks for your reply. How is the DRL different from your head light?
In the S, during the day, only the LED strip stays on and it has a light sensor to turn on the headlight when it’s dark. In mine the headlight stays always on above the LED strip
@@Axe991 oh... Not a big deal at all to be honest.... I am planning to buy 1200 and install dqs instead of paying for the S model.
Really nice bike you have.
Yeah, it’s not at alla big deal! I have the 1200 with dqs and the touring plexy. Good luck 🍀 😊
Hi there ! Where were you riding? Roads looking awesome.
I was in the south of Italy, in Calabria :)
Georgeous sound! What was the problem with the quick shifter?
The shifter lever was too high, so it sometimes sent two impulses to the QS and it wasn’t always perfectly synchronized
Could have been a great video...but too many commercials. I had to finally leave and find another video.
Thanks for the feedback and sorry. I’ve used the automatic placement. I’ll check it out and solve the issue. Hope you’ll be back 😊
@@Axe991 I definitely will, I loved your content! Very clear video with great sound. A very well put together video otherwise.
Thank you very much!
Sounds like the brakes were squeaking.
Yeah, they stopped after a few hundred miles. Probably cause they were new
@@Axe991 Definatly was RAW sound! Beautiful road on a beautiful bike. Good luck and enjoy!
Thanks man! Good luck to you too!
Hi, I'm calabrese like you, but why do you speak English so well???? 🤣
Ciao! Ho vissuto un anno negli Stati Uniti quando ero piccolo e l’ho mantenuto nel tempo leggendo in inglese e guardando i film e le serie in lingua.
Ma sei di Catanzaro😂
No, perché?
Ho visto che la concessionaria è dei Due Mari, io sono di Catanzaro
fine bike but riding fast in the small towns isn't smart.
I agree with you, but I don’t think I was going too fast in towns 🤔
LOL
@@Axe991 non farci caso questo guida la smart 😂
