Thoughts on my new 1100S

[BlackdogGS]

I just bought a 2010 Monster 1100S.  I bought it on an online auction,  I paid $5,900 for it, it only has 900 miles on the clock.  After I got it home I did a close inspection and found it will need a brake and shift lever to put it back in excellent condition.  This bike came with Termi carbon slip ons, race ECM and a bunch of Riz accessories.  Even though I had no plates or insurance I let temtation get the best of me and I took it for a short ride.  All I can say is WOW, this thing is not only the best looking bike around it's also fast, faster than anything I've ever owned. 

My last Ducati I bought new in 1973 (Desmo 750).  Im really glad Im back with them!

Muskrat, you can see a picture under "Introduce yourself " (new). I'm on my iPhone now and can't post any pictures.

that 996 deal is the most ridiculous thing i've seen in a long, long time.

Ooph, that's like winning the lottery... lol.  Where the heck are all these deals now that I'm ready??

I'm still trying to figure out why it's so fast.  Stock HP is 85,  how much gain will a Termi and race ECM get you?   My Buell had 100 HP and this bike feels stronger.

according to what ive read and heard, The termis and ecu will net you about +1 hp! Thats it, net cost ? somewhere around 1500! personally. I didnt think it was worth it. And went with something just slightly less expensize, since there was no real HP gain.

I'm a BMW fan (I have a 2010 1200GS).  I just read an article were they tested 6 high buck exhaust systems on a BMW 1200.  4 of the systems actually reduced HP and torque, 1 made no difference and only 1 showed a modest gain.

As far as the Monster goes, I was hoping I'd get more than 1 HP with the exhaust and ecu, but what the hell, I didn't pay for it and it sounds great.

I have a GS too, and have been looking for an exhaust system that would increase HP, there are just not that many.

Unless you get a twin turbo

Sweet deal on that 1100S!  I'm still on the lookout for an S4RS

Termis and ECU really seem more to smooth out the fueling, though it does add some pep I would think.  My first guess is that thing is geared down a tooth in front with a 14t which makes it feel pretty torque-ful off the line. 

It's funny you say that though, I just rode a stock 1100 EVO and it felt good but didn't have crazy power.  I have not ridden a Buell in probably 3 years when I test rode a a stock XB12scg and just from memory the Buell seemed to have more pull, especially down low.  The 1100 with a 14t I'm guessing would feel pretty meaty though...

And damn I'm jealous Blackdog.  That's a good deal that I wish I could stumble on... lol
