Since 1999, I’ve owned 3 bikes, continuously, - and yes, I ride them....into the dirt, though over the years I’ve ridden many, many different friend’s bikes. Started with a Ducati Monster 900 and even though it was big for a beginner, the linear power curve made it fine for a beginner. When that one was done, I bought a 2000 996s. When it was finally time to retire that bike, what did I go with? Back to a Monster, (though it is a 1200R, 160 HP). Why, when there are cheaper, faster, less expensive to maintain options out there. Simple. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, gives me more smiles per mile than a Monster, and after all, that’s what it’s all about.

Oh, and to have liquid cooling...alas, I'm lucky enough to live out in the country where I don't encounter traffic or traffic lights so yay...I don't roast. I do have to say, as a petite rider (I'm only 5'1") a big part of choosing a bike is the fit, and the Monster just feels right in terms of weight distribution and size. Love my Duc!

So easy to work on. Parts are dirt cheap. I had a 1991 900ss, same air cooled engine as early monsters . At 4000 miles I dropped in Hi-comp pistons. At 6000 miles I installed kehein 39mm carbs. I beat the living crap out of it for 59,000 miles. In 59,000 miles I changed the belts twice. I had to adjust the exhaust valves twice and intakes once. The only part on my bike that ever "broke" was the reg / rec that went at about 30,000 miles. By far that was the least expensive to maintain and most reliable motorcycle I ever owned.

Started riding last year and got a 2000 Ducati Monster 750. Best decision of my life. Yes, it's older. But it's pretty, extremely responsive and easy to work on, I say this because it's the first bike I worked on and I managed it fine with an owners manual.. not nearly as bad as you make it sound but at any rate...I know you were joking around about the carbs being finicky but not at all, just clean them once at the end of the season (I'm a northerner) and she's good to go for the next. I also wrecked on it because I was being dumb (yep) and rebuilt the whole thing over last winter and early spring. Never hit your tank if you just get bars that aren't lower than the tank, I slapped Renthal bars on mine and she looks great!

Hi Yammie, you missed the Ducati Monster 620i.e. which i owned for 11 years (mine was the 2004 Capirex edition) and it did not cost me an arm and a leg to maintain.

Well, it is a beautiful bike (797 with classic cage frame), so if you really like the design, you don't have any options really, because while riding any other bike you will be constantly dreaming about Monster. Design is unmatched. Beside design it's really have a character, bike don't like to go slow, it's uncomfortable on slow speed, which makes it a bit tricky, but manageable while line splitting in city traffic jam. Outside of traffic jams monsters a very fun on city streets speed, it has good acceleration, taking turns is a joy, bike small enough. After my monster I just can't ride bikes like NC750X, it's just boring as hell. On a highway with monster you have more than enough power, but no wind protection, so long rides on a highway will be exhausting.

Also for 2012 Ducati it is very important how it was maintained, bike could be in very bad shape and recovering a Ducati will be pricey. Don't worry about turn radius and heat ;) It's an Italian bike and hot weather it it's natural habitat. U-turns in tight spaces will need a bit of practice, but it's fun and teaches you a lot about throttle-clutch-rearbrake control. So if you want something fun for city and you have money go for it.

I'm not gonna watch the video. I'll just say that the old Monster 620 i.e. (the fuel injected model) is the single easiest Ducati to live with, is very beginner friendly, and has reliability that will rival the Ninja 250 and Honda Rebel. *mic drop.

Teh_D3th_St4r we have 620ie yes it is good 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

@Real_MisterSir 4 года назад

yeaa they're on every street corner in Italy, all of them in good running condition too no matter the abuse some of them seem to go through. The 620 ie also has the best look imo, the newer models kinda warped the proportions and clean style of the seat and tank. 695 gen was the best imo.

Started on a 620i.e dark. Best decision ever

@prettyawesome694 4 года назад

Same here, bought mine 620i.e. as a first bike, gonna ride it until colosal engine failure, superb motorcycle for a beginner

I just got a Ducati Monster 620 with a hope to learn on it. I really like it so far and everyone I spoke to said OH watch out its a ducati. but then a few gentle voices said it would not actually be that bad for me

@joeyindi2371 4 года назад

I had an 07 S2R1000. Finding neutral was never an issue. Slap on some clip ons and rear sets and it was a blast to ride.

@punkpac2134 3 года назад

I'm going to look @ a 07 s2r1000 this weekend what do you advise looking for anything I might miss on a general walk around / shake down?

@flinch622 2 года назад

A "beginners" Ducati... reminds me that certain countries have severe displacement regulations. Vietnam is one example: anything over a certain cc [350?] requires some kind of club affiliation, etc or its not road legal. That's a missed market. So I wondered [over a decade ago]: should there be a 346? Not a knock down rehash of existing design, but a lightweight road bike built ground up to be its own class - something carbureted in the $7k price range off the floor with a near full fairing and a suspension that can deal with crappy roads if needed [like driving through a foot of water in monsoon season]. Borrow some of the lessons learned from supermotard enthusiasts perhaps, who don't quite do motocross. Leave room for locals to customize various bits [they always do], with an eye on simple tools for maintenance. Allow for re-sleeving the engine so the enthusiasts can punch the bore out and grab a little something extra if they want to. That means selecting stroke, rod, and pin bore sizing that just might accomodate pistons running in existing legal bikes to avoid import problems to the modders... Sacrilege to the purists, I know. But think of the smiles per gallon. I dare you.

I'm about to buy a bike soon. I sat on A LOT of bikes.... and the monster was by far, at least for me, the most comfortable and proper, ride wise. For me. I'm excited to start on something so dumb yet, hopefully, probably fun.

@marcelalainphotography9635 2 года назад

I started on a M 900. You definitely need the FCR 41 mm carburetors As that will make it more like a fuel injected bike. Cold starts in the morning just need to be primed and you are good. The issue now with those are the tanks are getting a bit old, and can leak at the seams. That’s what happened to mine, had to get it lined from the inside to fix. Otherwise, definitely the cheapest to maintain Ducati there is

@hippospanker85 3 года назад

I want to get a ducati monster cuz its cheaper than the other ducati's and i rlly want a ducati

07’ S4R gosh I miss that bike. My dad took it over when I moved away and he traded it for a Dyna wide glide 😢

@kneiterleip 4 года назад

Was looking for a pre 2000 monster 900 as a first bike for a while. Instead I followed my heart and bought a 2007 hypermotard 1100S with hot cams, a massively lightened flywheel, and a full decat Zard exhaust system...... definitely the most terrifying first bike I could have ever chosen😂😂😂

@jacodagray2759 2 года назад

This is my first video I’ve seen from you and I am dying with the edits and jokes and your videos are just great😂😂

@Saucey65 4 года назад

Never found a decent used monster as my first bike but this was essentially what I wanted lol. No way I was going to get a new one and risk dropping that though!!

I think the testimony is a bit exaggerated... It goes without saying that driving a Ducati will leave a lasting impression on any motorcycle enthusiast! 😁

@rickwaldner8078 4 года назад

you got that wrong sir, the 821 stealth does come with an upgrade, the quick shifter, only on the 821 stealth

@kriseduardokouranysmith3717 3 года назад

I learned to ride in a `18 821as a first bike!!! agree, not necessary the best beginner bike, but if you are reasonable mature you can do it, I started 6 months in Urban mode and upgrades my way up. Today every time I take the 821 out , its always a don'tswapping

@devlinsaikia 4 года назад

Yammie you just perfectly described the whole idea of Ducati Monster. 😂 Truth be told.

I have a 797, i use It daily, and a tuned CBR1000RR for weekends, lovely City bike.

He laughs at buying a Ducati for a first bike then proceeds to sell wallets. This my friends is comedy in its purest form. Lol 😂

@MoonlightHusky 2 года назад

I still to this day don't understand why everyone is saying "You will drop your first bike". I started at 22yo on a Ducati Monster S2R 800, never dropped and never got in an accident, I'm almost 26 now and drive it almost everyday... Was my first vehicle on 2 tyres ever. My best friend started riding the same year, Suzuki GSR600 and he also never dropped it... All the biker in my family started on much bigger bikes than mine and they also never had a problem. You should ride what you like and not be conditioned by what other people say about dropping it, if you don't buy what you like most likely than not you will quit motorcycling... Motorcycles are not a smart choice, so don't be smart and buy with the heart.

@arttuikavalko1944 4 года назад

I got my ducati monster 600 for 1800€. Even though it was 1999 model it had about 33 thousand kilometers on it. I’d count that as a great deal.

@worldtraveler8613 2 года назад

I love this bike. And im a sport bike guy transitioning into nakeds as im getting older and want more comfort. This one is at the top of my wishlist.

@superfluous9726 4 года назад

4:16 actually pretty accurate.

@jayz66654 4 года назад

What about the Ducati supersport

@johnc3597 4 года назад

I have one, absolutely love it. All the looks of a panigale, and none of the annoying BS of daily riding a track bike. 11/10 would recommend. Also I think monsters are really poorly weighted with the gas tank so high and the handle bars outright

@jayz66654 4 года назад

John C I currently ride a Yamaha r3 fits me very well since I’m short. Is the seat height higher on the supersport?

@johnc3597 4 года назад

@@jayz66654 Yamaha R3 was my first bike! They're awesome. If you can flat foot atleast one leg at a time on the R3, you can ride the Supersport as well. I'm 5'7, so I feel your pain. I'm too short to ride the new R1s 😩

@jayz66654 4 года назад

John C lol Im 5’2” lol but i can almost flat foot one side. I’ve had mine for like 2 years now and been wanting to get something else and was looking into the supersport. Looks promising now after your reply.

@EvolutioNSwe 4 года назад

And if you test ride the Supersport.. (thinking, the new generation...) you will be surprised of how comfy it is... Excellent bike for sure.. and a beauty .. Just get the Quickshifter and you will never want a bike without one .. ;-)

@adamcarter1341 4 года назад

My friend who’s 17 yo and has never ridden a bike before was considering by this guys used Busa, good idea?

@BigDawgRey95 4 года назад

Absolutely. I started on a turbo Busa, cannot recommend it enough. Smooth power delivery, comfortable riding position, solid handling, and as reliable as any other Japanese bike. 10/10 fuckin send it.

@OnceSniper66 4 года назад

Modern Monsters have the battery in the swing arm. So you can't get to it unless you go from underneath. Great bikes tho.

@belo-moto 4 года назад

So I have a Ducati Monster... if anyone has questions about this beast, please let me know!

@Real_MisterSir 4 года назад

I only have one question.. Why was Ducati so reluctant on featuring a proper fuel gauge on the Monster lineup? xD I mena, they even had it on the old Multistrada so the tech was readily available, but still they chose to only offer the Monsters with a dumb fuel light, even well within the newer gen Monsters when they switched to digital dash. I don't understand their logic behind it, being their most road worthy bikes and all.

@belo-moto 4 года назад

MISTER SIR in my opinion, not displaying the range allows for a better understand of your motorcycle through trial. See, I know from the amount of time that I’ve ridden on my motorcycle, that it gets 150+/- miles to the tank before the light. Depending on how I ride, I can already tell how fair I can go. In my eyes, this make a more personal connection to the bike throughout your riding experience. Regarding the electronics, the more they put in, the more stuff will break. It is nice to have certain features yes, but then you’re not riding the bike, it rides you ;)

@Jack-shoo Год назад

As a Ducati owner specifically 1200S preceded by an array of various Japanese and German bikes going back to CB750s Z900s Boldors VFRs Beemers blah blah … the monster 1200S destroys all for handling torque and just plain exhilarating experience. Neutral is never a problem servicing is simple enough.. I feel maybe you had a bad gelato at your pizza bar

I hope that you know that the monster 400 exists. The 400ss is essentially a fully faired monster 400

@JohnDoe_75 3 года назад

Funny. I started out in 1993 on a YZF 750- R, bought another one of those in 1996 and a 1999 R1 in 1999, which I had till 2003. Now I'm thinking of picking up riding again and am considering the 821 stealth, I wonder if I'd get bored of it fast.
