It kind of doesn’t make sense to me when people say you would expect a not great seat from an aggressive naked sports bike. I dont see how its acceptable for any bike to have an uncomfortable seat really. Its not expensive to make the seat the right shape, nice foam is not expensive, its not heavy to make a comfy seat, it doesn’t cost billions in R&D. In fact its so incredibly easy to design, relatively tiny aftermarket companies can make a super comfy one within weeks of bikes being released. If you pay 13000 dollars for a bike you should not have to immediately buy an aftermarket seat to be able to ride it more than a few hours without a numb butt. Just my 2 cents

Well that windscreen is just adorable.

Had a 2008 S2R 1000 Monster. When the fuel light came on, you had 30sec to get to a gas station or you were walking.

Man I was waiting for this. Thinking on getting a Ducati and this was on my wish list.

[Johnnyreengo]

There is no one better suited for this series than Zack!

[ColinVance-qu]

For an "average" rider like me who is older but still looking for a spirited ride the 937+ I have gives me the Ducati buzz while compensating for the fact that I am not a Moto GP rider!
Every 64 year old guy should ride one!

[adamniswonger]

I recommend this bike so often for a fun street bike. So light with good performance and economy.

Way back in the day (circa 2000-ish-ish) some guy in my neighbourhood had a Monster and whenever he would ride by that bike sounded good! No idea what pipe/exhaust he had on it but nice and powerful sounding without being obnoxious.

Price has a factor in purchasing but what pulls you on your heart strings has factor

[ericwilliams]

I sat on one and its very inviting. It doesn't feel worth the price, but very approachable and seems very fun to ride as any Ducati. It has a specific customer, someone who desires the brand for the road but doesn't want to spend time dollar. The competition is tough, so it boils down to brand desire, I want a Ducati, okay get the Monster.

When are you going to take the 24 Triumph 765 RS for a spin?

[michaelboyd]

When you did the parking lot turning radius test I physically had a knee-jerk reaction to brace for a fall!

Great stuff, hope everyone is well :)

[whoami]

Loved the outtake and how calmly you started talking about the brakes

[marklang]

Best reviews out there!
Love the historical and ride data.
Love the upbeat and fun delivery;-)

As a monster 937 sp owner....fair review all around.

[DucatiDiaries]

Best bike reviews on the planet. I love the monster sp. Great bike. I love the colors of the sp.

[jondiaz]

I test rode a 950 Multi with the same engine this past spring and was shocked at the vibes. Our past ST2 and Cagiva Gran Canyon 900/944cc two-valvers were velvety smooth by comparison

[julieb]

Me during the daily ride: Don’t hate my bike, don’t hate my bike, don’t hate my bike.

[Druezy]

Any word on the RS 457? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts Zack!

[martinrenteria]

Zack would love to see more info on wheelies. I know you’re not a pro stunt rider but you do wheelies so well and I always wonder like are you clutching them up, or just power, what gear you’re in, how high you rev, etc. just some details on them or maybe a whole high side low side episode all about wheelies and stunts, backing it in etc. could be really cool
