What did you think of the all-new Monster? Innovation > Heritage?

[goombay]

Hey man, could you provide some general thoughts/impressions about the new monster vs the scrambler nightshift in terms of feel, suspension, throttle response, and overall performance? These were actually the exact two bikes I was between for my first Ducati.

[lukemooney]

hey i’m 19 i’m about to buy my first bike. this is the bike i have narrowed down too. is it worth buying it brand new for 12k or do you recommend i buy an older monster for cheaper.

[MrSilus]

I don’t necessarily want my bike to be more stiff though

[wheelcrew]

Do feel that it runs hotter than other Ducati models? Ducati after all is known for this on all their bikes…So would be curious on your thoughts.

[stefaandeswert]

Good looking bike, and I'd buy it just for that reason. But i just can't get past the fact that compared to a street triple RS for example, it's not even close in terms of comfort or smoothness.

[ericwilliams]

They're not. The 1200 has been cancelled. It's off their site as of this weekend.

thanks for the honest review. I ride the Trident-660 & 390-Duke ... now looking for 3rd, and Monster/Supersport-950S is one of the options, along with litre-class inline-4 or V4 ... I would have loved Streetfighter V2 (L2) ... but let's hope it sees the light of day. Panigale V2 is too tall for me, I am 5'6" only. Superduke isn't sold in my country, India, or else, I would get it. How about Aprilia V4 Tuono ? .... Streetfighter V4 looks the part, but it's engine sound is like a V2 but with deeper tone, added base, only, that's it, not proper exhaust note like the Tuono V4. More than Monster, I like the Supersport 950S (white) because I am getting bored with Nakeds, but it's overpriced & underpowered for what it's worth. CB1000R is overpriced too, considering it is low on power (145 PS only), and weight too is on the higher side, 212 kg. Also, I don't like the clinically perfect & boring BMW S1000R-R. Don't want to repeat Triumph by buying another inline-3 Speed Triple 1200 RS

i miss the styling of the old monster :(. But im always reluctant to change

[AmazingHaze]

6:38 it is not 35hp, but 35KW, so it gets to 50hp

[duttan]

This really does resemble the mt09 alot!

[c.g.c]

The Monster back in the '90s gave birth to the "naked" segment...

[MotoGoato]

Nice review ... but at £10K+ and making 111bhp this bike doesn't compete against the budget friendly MT07 (£6.8K, 70bhp) .. it's natural competitor from Yamaha is the MT09SP (£10K+, 119bhp) 😉

[mikesgtrs]

I thought u said “ enough with talking”

[mrunnizuttan]

Mind says go for monster
Brain says buy the fcuking mt

[David-bfpl]

This bike can be a beginner bike. You can put it in Uban Mode which limits the horsepower to 75bhp and maxes out all the safety features. I canceled my 2023 Triumph Trident pre-order to buy this bike. I'll grow into this bike. Do better research.

[thesunshine]

Parallel twin?🤣🤣🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ L twin brah

[billcarson]

It's. A absolute tragedy that Ducati is following Japanese styling Ques. Should i live in a world like this.

[cursethesky]

This model is DONE...has nothing to offer anymore. Scrap it and design something else.
