I'm head over heals with my 1200s, 2015.  Dam what a bike and because I didn't have enough room for 5 bikes in the garage the 06 S4R had to go
So, I'd like to hear your opinions, websites and general commentary on good mods. I do want a back rest for the Wife and all I've seen are the GIVI trunks.  I'd also like the crash bars, in RED please, LED fog/driving lights, radiator guards and such.  I planned on waiting but being an impulse buyer took over my sanity today.  So guys, I enlist your help with the above.
Thanks for your replies.

and the paint scheme I'm gonna do in about 30-60 days

No help with your accessories, but congrats on a sweet bike. 

Thanks.  Anyone have opinions on the best slip on exhaust without having to do a tune that is not Termi?

Nice muskrat, nice 

My M1100s is off to the Duc dealer tomorrow for some TLC...... whilst I'm there..... I must resist the urge.... must resist........

There's definitely a new Multi in my future.....  1200s touring (like yours) was top of my list.... now thinking I'll wait for the Enduro....

I'll be very interested to hear what you have to report... as you get to know your new ride 

Congrats 

I saw one up close last week and was very impressed. Congratulations
That paint scheme looks great on the S model.
What does the DP catalogue have on offer? Ask the Dealer for one. The DP catalogue is dangerous fun!

I would also extend the warranty  because the bike is packed with technology. There may be things that you cant fix by yourself out of warranty so I would protect my outlay with a gold class type warranty. Kind of like owing a new Audi, BMW or Merc.

If you haven't already, check out the MTS forum over at ducati.ms

Good folks and good (more MTS-specific) info there.

You can't help it......get one.  I dare you to ride it. 
I'm going to ride some more today but so far riding up the tollway at 90+ was smooth as butter and I have to tell you that the bucking under 4k RPM does not exist.  Frankly it's a bit scary how fast you can get speed on this bike.

THanks.  I'll go check it out.

what's a good slip-on exhaust (shorty preferred) that I can get without making a down payment on a house or re-tunning the bike?

S4R say it aint sooo........

I sat on one....  declined the offer to ride it.....  I don't yet want to confirm what I already think I know.... coz we all know how that'll end  .

They had the seat in the low position..... I was able to completely flat foot it (5'9" short arse).  Gonna wait 'til the Enduro shows up... see what I feel about that.... if it's too tall for me then I may well end up on a white 1200s Touring.

No rush

yep, couldn't keep Wife doped up on xanax long enough for her to understand I needed to keep it.....I failed and traded her.  She's at Ducati Dallas so talk to Marty.  She's one fine bike and have been taken care of like a new born, ask the shop guys.

alright guys: What slip on exhaust should I consider? Right now I'm at Mivv and Akro, not sure about the Termi and their horrendous pricing.

some spirited riding today now that I'm understanding her better.  She dips into corners like they are made for her with absolutely no waddle whatsoever, as if the bike was 6-10 inches shorter.  The throttle on Sport is a little twitchy but maybe it's me getting used to riding my S4R for 7 years.  The ergonomics are absolutely incredible, almost as good as my barca lounger (Harley Electra Glide).  For  being so high up it felt like I was skimming the ground in sharp corners and completely composed.  In fact, i pissed a bunch of Harley riders today and Beemer guys, the latter tried to keep up but no luck.
