Model History & Updates

2016: Range topping M1200R introduced with a new Euro 4 Testastretta DS engine putting out 160 bhp at 9,250 rpm, 3-spoke forged wheels, mini sports fairing, higher 830 mm seat, larger rear tyre and 2 kg less weight.

2017: Big update from the Euro 4 compliant Testastretta DS engine introduced with the range topping M1200R, but with 150 bhp at 9,250 rpm and maximum torque at 7,750 rpm (now 10 bhp down on the R). Ducati also threw in the new exhaust, updated dash, reshaped tank/tail, quickshifter, cornering ABS, 9-level wheelie control, newer tyres and better pillion pegs to address complaints but it's a tad heavier.
