2020 Ducati Monster 1200 S - Testride 

Put yourself in line, mate!🤣

You downsized from a 1200 to a .... 1200? Sure! Why not?

@@padrescout the RT was 265kg. The R is 185kg. = down. Size. Get it?

Tanks so much! :-)

Appreciate it 😊

Budget egal? :)

@@ridenroll.juliane wenn ja und wenn nein? Ich frage mich. Op für meine 1,60 die 1200 nicht zu bullig und gross aussieht. Knieschleifen dürfte ja auch mit der 821 kein problem sein und irgendwie find ich den sound besser

Thanks SO much! Made my day :-) Cheers and stay safe! Juliane

Well, completely different. I own a M821 and it's a great bike, but compared to the 1200 you will find that has much more power. Both are similar when riding, but you have to focus too much in my opinion on the steering bar in order to get the bike into corners. That's quite similar in the 1200 due to the position. Both are fantastic bikes, don't get me wrong, but seriously other Japanese bikes with less effort are much more rideable. It's part of owning a Ducati I guess, you have to be better on your riding and positioning

Calidad mala? En que se basan? Como si las japonesas no fueran todo plástico.. yo flipo.

Ich war auch überrascht bezüglich Windanfälligkeit. Meine S 1000 R ist da auf der Autobahn unangenehmer. Danke für dein Feedback! In Flames we trust 100% !!! :-) GlG

Thank you! 😊🙏🏼

I hope I can get my hands on one soon!!! :-)

It’s a great first bike, had mine 2.5 years now. I passed my full test on an MT-07 and wanted something a little different. I wanted something forgiving and the 797 is very linear on the throttle, the power comes in gradually with no surges. I had mine with 350 miles on the clock and finding neutral was annoying up to about 1200 miles. The turning circle isn’t great. No fuel gauge, just a low fuel warning light and no gear position indicator, so basic in that respect. Brakes are very good being Brembo-especially the front, quite strong. With only about 75-78bhp, it’s enough power for me. It’s a quality bike, finished really well and I love adding a few accessories to the bike, like Rizoma for Ducati, which is lot to choose from. Hope that helps.

@@ridenroll.juliane Juliane ,Thanks very much . Alessandra is 1,64 and we are going to test drive to se if she can deal with it.

Riding Monsters for more than 15 years i will tell you that this is not problem of the bike (gearbox) but the lubricant, Ducati use and suggests shell ultra 4 advanced and when you change to motorex or Rock oil the problem disappears . motul has the same problem as shell.

@@socratessocratous3864 i know plenty of owners who would strongly disagree. The 1200 is renowned to hit false neutral every time they ride. All the above owners also have their bikes serviced at Ducati Dealers too who cannot claim its a gearbox or oil issue. Some advise better gear changing. I personal pal of mine has a 1200 and when he gear shifts...a minute or 2 later that gear pops out into neutral. I've test rode the 1200s and 1200r straight out of a Ducati dealers and on both bikes i hit false neutral many times. Not a great bike at all This gal needs to do her homework.

@@teddd10 I AM owner i know from first hand did your friends tried rock oil or motorex? NO.

@@socratessocratous3864 checkout the reviews on here most of them mention the false neutral..

@@teddd10 it's pointless to answer to you. Good luck.

Hahaha agreed!

She's the dream GF... pretty & sweet, rides bikes and rides them hard, listens rock&metal... Sounds modest and sincere as well. I'm struggling not to fall in love XDXD.

I personally am healed from all these monsters and 1000 cc or 1200 cc heavy metal. Slim and slender is more fun.

I would love to try the CB1000R, never tried one but it definitely looks fantastic. Thanks for your honest feedback! :-)

Fred Yes! Lots 😂
