So many advantages of making a parallel twin instead of a 90 degree V twin.

I have fond memories of a certain Monster 1100 Evo with a set of Termi pipes under the tail. Took a demo ride on one of those back when they were still being made in that speck. 2nd gear throttle wheelies perfectly controllable, just roll on. Felt like a compact, well-handling Chevy V8 of grunt and sweet sound. Vibrated and shuttered a lot until you hit the magic RPM and everything smoothed right out. This 937 engine model I'd have to rip off the entire exhaust and find an system with big throated muffler producing deep barking sounds. It wouldn't be Ducati otherwise.

Excellent, mature, no nonsense review that covers all the bases. I’ve had 3 air-cooled Monsters, but they lost me when they went water-cooled and the pipe-work was just really ugly. I now have a Street Triple 675 which I’m ready to replace. This is an interesting option, but possibly too low power, for similar money as a Street Triple 765 RS with Ohlins etc. The cornering ABS is a win here though. Also, I suspect like all ‘baby’ Ducatis, including V2, it won’t have paint lacquer, so paint will just rub off - which is ridiculous.

Oddly, the Tuono 660 especially with the imu & quickshifter ticked, is also just over 10 grand. This Monster seems a better bet if only for an engine with 'character' (?). And the original Monster got the trellis because that was what the best Ducati sports bike of the day had, it wasn't designed as a retro, just became a bit of one by getting old. This reinvigorates the Monster.

An honest review. As an owner of the first generation trellis frame (monster 695 2006) I must say, firstly I was dissappinted of Ducati dropping the trellis blah blah blah... but the weight loss, the power, the electronics etc. makes it a perfect streets bike. I mean autoturn off turning signals?? Wtf :))) me and my friends were always “fantasizing/joking” about that:D come on: 166kg dry weight, 937cc, 111hp, 93nm at 6500, 30.000km desmo service interval. For that price? Solid naked bike from Ducati. Needless to say, nobody said sh!t about the streetfighter V4 not having a trellis frame also:D when it came out, no one mentioned it once!!:D Peace from Slovakia
