Just to say I think the new format of mixing bike spec with riding impressions is much better than previous format.

@TheMissendenFlyer 2 года назад

Thanks!

@briansteele2723 2 года назад

Yes some other videos have too much handlebar footage at 30mph. Eg fireblade stuck behind a van… so a mix of viewpoints is more interesting. The 360 cam is good too. I know other youtubers do the speed work so the off bike stuff may be your strength.👍😎

You are doing a really good job. I am not in the market to change my bike, but when others tell me they are looking, you are the one I refer them to as reliable, truthful and knowledgable.

@greyanaroth 2 года назад

I've said this before and I'll say this again: it's not the lack of the trellis frame missing that has me upset. I'm glad the monster has lost so much weight tbh. But it's the budget suspension with 0 adjustment that's annoying. It's a ducati in 2021, man. Should have had adjustability, especially for the price they're charging.

Very nice vid. I particularly liked the back & forth editing between the riding footage & walk around. Only criticism is that it was a bit short but I understand the circumstances probably didn't allow for more. As for the bike, I do like it but I'm a little put off that it has no suspension adjustability as rarely do I find standard suspension settings to my liking & I enjoy having a tinker to fine tune them.

@gkbike7002 2 года назад

An interesting fact, the monster designer, Galluzzi was working for honda when he sketched the design, he eventually ended up a cagiva and was given access to parts and an assistant to do a prototype. The monster hit big and pulled ducati out of a hole. The story is well worth a read.

@1MarkBevans 2 года назад

The monster has always been a main-stay for Ducati, and most likely always will. Nice to see a afternoon in the drizzle and a steady mount to take you anywhere. 👍🏻

@Steve-motorcycles 2 года назад

Nice review, 👍🏻 I test rode this a couple of months ago and liked it a lot. I actually chose the new MT09SP which I found to be just a little bit more, all-round .I do get the Ducati vibe though, there’s also the 890R or the Street triple, such great choices in this segment now I don’t think you can go to far wrong.

Just found this review after owning one for almost a year and put 6k miles in it. I’m a bit of a Ducati fan boy having had a Hypermotard 1100S for 96k but the new one is too tall which is why I went for the new Monster. Love it. An excellent real world bike that commutes, scratches and a bit of light touring. I get some miss the frame but I never found the old monster particularly comfy - looks good mind 👍🏻

Great vid Andy. For me, big, light’ish, V-twin nakeds are ideal for British roads; just a load of fun and piggin’ quick with it…….and a bit more ‘character’ than a Triumph Triple. I preferred the trellis frame tbh but I suppose it’s progress for weight & cost. Great looking bike and hopefully they’ll sell a few! Corsaro ZZ next please! 👍

@jamessuttie2506 2 года назад

Nice bike, Andy. I bought a Ducati SuperSport S, and love riding it. Same engine as the Monster. I replaced the rear end with a tail tidy as you suggested. Mine is a 2020,, but wish I bought a 2021, to get the new TFT screen, as mine is hard to see. The mirrors are too narrow to see past my shoulders. All in all a good bike, but not superb.

@mickthemaverick5998 2 года назад

Love the tech info interspersed with the on board stuff, great format! Not my kind of bike but, like that TFT and the mounting angle, like the mirrors, like the colours, hate the master cylinders - why can't they both be in front or behind the bars? Look like an afterthought the way they are!! Plus of course hate the Volvo carpark!! Also I love the general lightweight flickability, it's one of the bikes that I'd much rather ride than look at!!

@adonutplaysgames8536 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. Insightful, as always. Any plans to get one of these on a long term loan? It is tempting me as a potential replacement next year if I decide to pull the trigger and I've always trusted your reviews. Surprised that you didn't include the Street Triple in this comparison. Similar power, similar weight and similar cost. Sure, the displacement is not the same but that doesn't really matter nowadays imo.

It's cool that you change up the videos by editing in small clips of you standing next to the bike and then editing back. It gets a bit formulaic after a while to go for a ride, then go off and walk around it, and then riding again. Does it have cruise control? At least it has a fuel gauge this time around so that's always something... Mind-boggling that it didn't have one previously

@TheMissendenFlyer 2 года назад

No cruise but yes on the fuel gauge - glad you like the change in format, more tricky to film/edit but I agree and am likely to stick to it in future…..

My mate and I were walking on the Bristol Downs one summer afternoon back in the mid 90s, and we stopped to stare at a red Ducati Monster. It was just that good looking a bike. Lots of other people saw us looking, and they also stopped to watch it travel round the curve of the road, with the suspension bridge in the background. It was a magical moment and a legendary bike. This new one, in comparison, looks like plenty of other bikes on the road. Mediocre.

Nice review Andy! It's odd I haven't seen more reviews of this bike yet. A couple of things that I have noted on this bike. The headlight apparently (dipped beam) doesn't come on unless it's dark? Resulting in flicking headlights when you go into and out of darker areas! (I don't have one, but I saw a review that stated this. It was in America, where I live though) Also, in the US, the indicators can't do that fancy 'growing' effect due to legal requirements so they are just ON/OFF here. Might be something to check on with the European version of the bike you have. Cheers! -Alan.

If it’s the same as other Ducatis, then the DRLs are on all the time and the dipped headlights come on automatically in dark areas. If you want to change that, you just turn it from automatic. Not strange though, the last three cars I’ve had also do this.

I know we’re not supposed to question the Ducati design house, but to my eye they’ve just been making monsters worse looking for the past … well nearly 15 years. At least Suzuki realised their mistake and after following Ducati down the gladiator road switched the style of suzi monster back to the traditional styling. Who’d have thought the SV650 would end up being the better looking monster? Tbh it’s also the one I’d actually buy

@78Outlaw 2 года назад

First Monster was a design classic, the loss of the trellis is a big mistake, when you see MV still using for the Brutale or KTM for the SuperDuke, a big mistake imo, might add the old Ltwin Des 1200 was a 145hp brute… so 111hp leaves me cold.

That is really a monster one grotesque looking monster ,visual evidence of what is new & modern isn’t necessary always better .Front mudguard looks about as much practical use as a chocolate teapot ,the rear end needs a lot more than a tail tidy ,like the bike it needs totally re- designing altogether .It’s a pity really as Ducati once designed some tasty solid looking machines .

Like the new format, though I’m sure it’s harder to edit together. Bike sounds amazing but Ducati still build their bikes like the Lloyd’s building - all the plumbing on the outside.

I agree on all counts Phil - glad you like the new format...thanks for that.

What brand of gloves are you wearing? They look really sharp and comfortable

loving the front brake pipe bracket on the forks, or is that an attempt at a mudguard, either way it dont work! Engine sounds like a washing machine.

I rode one of these recently and it sounded like my Dad's old Fiesta, ticking tappets! Nice bike though.

I often wonder why the rear brakes are so-so, equiped with top notch components , but fail too deliever, the same in my hay day, but has technology

I'd be interested to hear how you think this compares to the Speed Twin. I realise they are different bikes but they would both serve the same purpose for me. The Monster I perceive as better value given all the electronics but I don't ride particularly fast and wonder if the ST would have more character?

@TheMissendenFlyer 2 года назад

I think I might personally prefer this over the current Speed Twin - I preferred the previous version of the Triumph (I know, I’m a weirdo!)

Very tempting bike and I need a new mistress.

Is it just me ? I don’t think it can be a Ducati Monster without the look of the Monster trellis frame ? Would a GS be a GS without Telelever? I thought the previous frame was beautiful. Maybe I’m getting old, but this isn’t a “looker” is it ?

I did say it was controversial!

@axeman6560 2 года назад

Think I would change the exhaust as a first step, other than that it looks great to me.

@TheMissendenFlyer 2 года назад

It rides wonderfully!

I wonder if the scrambler will follow this ‘platform’ change. It needs an upgrade to water cooled non desmo at some point as the heat coming off the scrambler is bad and throttle is jerky …but yep that gives it a lot of ‘character’. I am trading mine for a trident but will miss the meaty sound of Ducati with terminognis 👍😎

@ampm9771 2 года назад

What does desmo valve have anything to do with heat? Or the the engine being air-cooled? I'd rather have an air-cooled bike.

The Monster is popular for Ducati for the same reason as the Sportster is for Harley. Cheapest way to get the name on the tank. Nothing wrong with that either.

If you were going to purchase a new Ducati. Where would you go? Would you stay local or go further afield? Like dealership reputation, service etc

@TheMissendenFlyer 2 года назад

Well the last one I purchased was from Ducati Croydon and they were excellent - but the bike is serviced by my local Ducati dealer (On yer bike in Aylesbury) who offer excellent service, so I'd likely go there.....
