Ducati Monster 1200

Ducati’s big Monster has always been worth a punt, from the S4 on. Latest 1200 has huge tech skillz, and a sweet motor, plus high-spec chassis on the S version. Not as nuts as an S1000R or Super Duke, but not far off either. For something so potent, it’s a comfy bike and awesome at wheelies. A bit lumpy low down, though.
