It continues to amaze me that near 1 litre V-Twins are now viewed as middle-weights 😂

Living the dream chops. Hard work pays off. The editing of your videos are outstanding and always worth a watch. 👍🏼😎

[nairbyad]

you confirmed my decision to acquire a monster SP - thanks. I've got plenty of power in my other motos. while the supersport is what i'd like, it is heavier. now, when they produce a supersport with the 155hp v2 and the better frame, I'LL CERTAINLY BUY ONE AND SURELY MANY OTHERS WILL TOO!

[IanTed]

Such an underrated engine, I chose the Multistrada for more comfort but so much fun in the real world, the induction noise is addictive, love it🤣😆👍

[greenhornet]

Best intro in Youtube in my opinion. Videos are informative without being boring. Thanks Chopsy!

[fyorbane]

It is a great bike Chops but it is very expensive. I believe it is considerably more pricey than the competition. Looking forward to your middleweight shootout. This, the new Triumph 765 rs, the KTM 890R and the The Yam MT09 SP. For good measure you could include the Kawa Z900 S.E, oh and the Yam XSR900. Anyway mate keep up the good work.

Although physically a small bike (you made it look like a 250 !), you didn't once say it felt uncomfortable, so it must be fine. Great video again Chopsy 👍😎

[martyndunn]

Love your videos chops, definitely my fave youtuber. The detail you go into is very informative, superb camera work. Awesome mate keep up the good work 👍

[michaeldolan]

That's a good looking monster that
Great vid as always Mr chops 👍
All the best

Great watch Chopsy, honest review with no-bullsh*t, as always! As an almost-50 rider finding my Panigale a bit too uncompromising and convinced my next move was either a Streetfighter V2 or Street Triple, I'm now really conflicted.. Cheers for that mate, quite a few more months of indecision ahead of me now.. 😡🖕🤣🤣

[andyb]

love the review mate, I must say if Ducati didn't bring out the streetfighter V2 i would have totally gone for this bike, what a great looking bit of kit .

[RichDunn]

Looking forward to the group test with the 890 R and Street Triple RS Chopsy. Really enjoying my RS - its cosmic!

I've come around to liking the look of the new Monster. I don't miss the frame now, and as you say, the new one is lighter.

[Mockle]

So we’re going with “mono-coook” then are we? 😂
Would be interested in how this compares to the new Street Triple. My old 675R was my favourite road bike.

Pressed the like button before we even got to the intro 😂

Monster would be my pick of current Ducatis this SP looks very nice 😊❤🤩🏅

Great review Chops. I really like this bike & the higher spec is gorgeous but it's just too expensive for what it is imo. Especially when you've got the Triumph 765 RS for about 2k less. Objectively I do prefer the Ducati but only just & 14k is a hell of a lot to blow on a middleweight, albeit a top spec one. Unfortunately the lower spec Monster is also a bit over priced too imo at 11k. Particularly when it has non-adjustable suspension & you have the Triumph 765R for 9.5k. With all that said it's a great bike I would love to own & Ducati are a premium brand so the price is to be expected regardless of what I think. I'm just poor & bitter lol!

[tonydare]

I'd seen several poor reviews of this bike, but you've made me want to test ride one;-) Why do I watch bike reviews?🤨 It looks nothing like the Monsters of yesteryear, half way between an Aprillia and Japanese style but I must admit I like it. And light weight is definitely a big pro for me. Thanks and ride safe.

[the_mad_leprechaun]

Love the colour scheme, love the sound, top stuff LCR as always! You the man! 👍

[davidstiglitz]

Great video and commentary. Classic Chops. Brilliant. The bike is rather cool too.
