I’m 41 and this will be my first...is there a way to change the dash so that the speed is easier and larger to read? Thanks!

@@DaDrillSergeant maybe with a digital dash from amazon.

I would recommend this as a first bike. Doesn't have the top end speed as a 1000cc but also isn't as slow as a 250cc. I highly enjoyed my butt time on this Ducati.

Easily a 1st bike, I have this exact bike. Only 90hp compared to 600cc Japanese I4s with 120, it's not a bike that can easily get away from you. Much more relaxed riding position than hypersports. Looks and sound amazing, with single-sided swingarm and v-twin Termi sound - awesome. Keep in mind, this is a Ducati, so maintenance is expensive unless you do it yourself. I do basics: chain tension, tire pressure, oil change, air filter, swap battery, brake bleeds, pads, clutch plates, etc. Get a bike stand - TRex racing makes a great one.

Chris Rac just curious how much did you pay?

how reliable has it been?

I like that idea.

how you like it?

Appreciate it. I actually have alot of videos in the works, just having the time to work on em is what's slowing me down. But I have some more bikes I'm doing reviews on, like a 2018 Busa, and a review on the Icon Airflite will be coming out soon along with how I have my GoPro set up. So yeah, I got bunch of videos currently in production, just need time from work and baby duties to get to em. LoL

@@FrankTastic awesome man, can't wait to see the Hayabusa review! And I know how the baby duties are haha.

@@Im-Creeped-Out I can't to see the video either haha

Just bought the icon air flight helmet. Pretty bad ass. Be prepared to buy spare cheek pads. They seem to separate from the plastic pieces that tuck inside the helmet. Not a big issue but be prepared to buy a spare set

Yeah I know, I always advise new riders to wear their protection gear but I myself have most def been slacking on wearing full gear.

796

696 you mean as little brother

last year i begin to ride with monster 600cc, and it was very good for begining. i know, it is old and not so safe, and i did not succed to „obey” it, after full 7 month. in the last ride, „litle” monster put me on whelee without warning. now i am riding 796 abs , it look like hi level in comparasion with 600 cc but..... for a very beginer, it is brutal, big torque on low rpm, 0-100 in 4 sec, i did not recomend it for the very first season.

Armatures. I bet you prefer up down quick shifters

They make small aftermarket ones for cheap.

Don’t be deceived by displacement. The 600s are making 120hp+ while the Ducati in the video is making around 80. Displacement isn’t everything, make sure to do your research before buying.

And yet you still watched it. Define "useless", because this video is most def not useless. It's comparing the monster to a sport bike, which alot of ppl would want to know the difference between a monster than a sport bike, because alot of ppl want a sport bike but not everyone wants it as a first bike. I believe this video is a good video, and your comment is invalid.

FrankTastic. Of course I watched it?! How would I know how many times R6 would be mentioned? And continued to watch to see if any other comparable bikes would mentioned. Perhaps I should invest in a crystal ball. My bad

@@tomknight217 Maybe you should because obviously it seems like you expect someone who only has experience on a sport bike, to know what other bikes feel like to be able to compare to the monster. Why don't you just go and test ride one your self, or do you even know how to ride? Don't bring your useless and negative comments to my video when I was only trying to ride and review a bike that I never rode before, and compare it to the bike I ride everyday. But dam, if this video did not answer any of your questions about the bike, then go watch a different one. No need to be a complete ass on this video, unless that's all you are.

FrankTastic it’s called an opinion. Sorry I hit such a nerve. I’ll be more sensitive next time. Perhaps you should go for a ride and cool off?
