The full SP? 2023 Ducati Monster SP ridden | MCN Review 

@@cowmath77Triumph is about refinement. By that standard no other nakeds come close. They are almost boring they are so refined.

Agree. So refined they’re boring unless you ride the street like it’s a track and that’s when you get hurt.

‘Same …

That 30% will remain on resale though.

@@matthewstrange3778 Percentagewise maybe, but you will still end up losing more money.

Have fun with your appliances

@@Ivan-bg1jp And what is so special about the Monster compared to a Street RS ?

@@matthewstrange3778 Exactly. That MT-10 bike will be worthless after a couple years

They had to compete with the 890R. Trellis wasn't cutting it anymore.

@@yumpbalump but this looks just.... mainstream..

@@batavusfietsbel Fine, but it was getting outsold and it was too heavy, so clearly the trellis wasn't cutting it. And seriously, doesn't the riding experience trump having a trellis frame?

@@yumpbalump I get it... but it has lost the wow factor... and for me.. any bike I buy has to have that special thing

Better for what, exactly? Certainly none of the competitors look as good.

@@rlsedition better performance per dollar Or whatever currency. Looks are subjective so I personally don't factor that in since I know I like some bikes that others think are hideous. You could buy an MT09SP and have thousands left over for track days, tires, gear. That's what I was trying to point out. The 100% performance margins in these bikes are slim. A great rider will be within a second of each I bet. And for a rider like myself it would probably be even less.

@@gonzo221 Fun machines are, indeed, a very personal decision. It isn't all about the money, as no motorcycle makes very good financial sense. For me the looks are a high priority, so that leaves out many brands. Ducati, and occasionally some other European bikes, do the best here. Buy what you want.

@@CS-pl8fc No, you don't know much about Ducati service intervals, which call for valve adjustments every 18,000 miles.

Yes they are

Stiffer suspension but he said it's fully adjustable. Therefore it can be made softer. 🍨

Not too sure. I have a Hyper RVE and I tested the Monster SP out of curiosity. It’s definitely easier all around to ride, but the seat height felt about the same to me on the SP monster that is. The engine felt a little more rev hungry than the hyper. Wheelies and slides are easier than the hyper, although that could be because I have my hyper tuned pretty soft for the bumpy ass roads right now. Overall there was something very cool happening with that monster SP. Still love the hyper though, and the hyper looks way better to me, especially the SP!

If they could sort the plate holder out, would agree with you.

Mine has been great for 9 years and 40.000kms. Maybe you should have done a better job maintaining them :)

@@sjaakvandam2170 What are you even talking about?

100%

Seriously? 14,990 EUR in CZ.

20k (16k for normal one) Pounds in India :(

These days valve adjustments/belts are at 18k intervals.

Its not 1998 anymore, 30k km for belt replacement, and all the engine elektronics are from brands that all brands of bikes use 😉

A lexmoto is more reliable than ktm 😂

@@BodybuildingSteve and Ducati 🤣🤣

@@youtubed9695 old sure but nothing wrong with modern ducatis, ktms are still built like trash though

@@BodybuildingSteve no mate ducati still have bad reliability issues.. its still the common joke on UK track days.. plus I've test rode that ducati monster and the heat from the engine is absolutely insane.. its a naked bike and its still unbearable.. plus the engine felt unrefined.. you can keep your ducati I'd buy anything but one

Save £7000 and buy new hornet

24 Street Triple or even gen3 MT09 SP before this.. I'm sure the Monster is a lovely bike but would just be painful on the wallet if it goes wrong after the manu warranty has expired... thats what would put me off.
