I just bought an SP, and I realized that this Monster has to be ridden Hard, it doesn't like to be ridden easy or else it bogs and bucks until the revs go up. However, as far a lightness, and power to weight, this Bike is a Blast, and the SP comes with the Rosso 4s, and stick very well, I;m Happy so far !!

Awesome. Congrats on the new bike. That tends to be the case with a lot of Ducatis. They demand to be ridden a certain way, otherwise, they get grumpy. haha. Thanks for the comment!

Yoooo. That’s awesome! And yeah when I originally had this bike it wasn’t for sale and it wasn’t until after recording the video that I realized it was a 2022. Hence why I didn’t put a year in the title. But there are no differences between the two that I am aware of. Really happy for you. It’s a lovely bike!

Excellent review, what I needed to hear. I am thinking about taking one on for a test ride. I'm excited to hear about how well the engine is an improvement over previous generations, so that makes up for the wild polarizing new styling opposed to their older generation styling.

A year into my ownership and 7000 miles later, I'm still loving it. And as far as the trellis frame thing that has everyone losing their shit over, meh. A steel trellis frame on a motorcycle is utilitarian looking at best. Having recently rode a 2018 Monster 821, I can tell you, it really doesn't hold a candle to the newest generation in terms of overall performance. Sorry you traditionalist "Ducatistis", but once you ride an older gen back to back with the newest gen, you'll get it.

I have this model it goes and handles very well, lots of high speed fun, however on a 16c winters day driving through traffic the engine temp gets up to 96c the heat off the engine when the tiny little thermo fan kicks in is stifling when just sitting stationary. normal temp when riding sits on 75-80c In summer we have 35-40c for weeks on end I am fairly sure that the engine will have a melt down in that kind of ambient temperature. So I will be selling my Monster before that happens.

I personally think the 821 has more visual appeal. But everyone has different opinions. Is there a Ducati dealer near you? If so, you should pop in and look at one in person.

Great review. How was the clutch pull and engine heat around town. This would be a city bike for me, so I’m curious about those specifics. Cheers 👍👍🇨🇦

@ridexdrive Жыл бұрын

Hey, thanks! I thought the clutch pull was good for city riding. I have extra long fingers though lol. It had reassuring engagement, and I found it easy to hop on and ride without thinking about it. I road an S1000RR recently, and I stalled it a couple of times during parking lot riding. The monster had none of those problems. Engine heat was good for a Ducati. Considering this was an extra hot day, it was decent, but there was more heat than you get from other bikes in this segment. I hope this helps you decide, and always try to get a test ride if you can!

absolutely no need to remove db killers , and I heard it might damage your muffler on the inside. Sounds so much better with Termi, going to test ride this this weekend. But to get that sound you need to install a full racing system,not sure if you can do it in The US

went to a dealer in mid Ga. they had a 2023 Ducati Monster plus Stealth black, i was looking to buy. after checking out the bike i decided to go with a Suzuki. the ducati was cheaply made. I mean VERY CHEAPLY made. the suspension was weak as Hell. after sitting on it it felt very light and plastic. i have a old Ducati monster and it's a great bike, the new one just felt like junk.

Hello, I ordered a standard Monster. Taking into account that it is my first motorcycle and I am not going to sell it, do you think I should have ordered the SP? Thanks

@ridexdrive Жыл бұрын

Nope! The most meaningful upgrades are the adjustable suspension and higher spec brakes. Unless you plan to do a ton of track days it’s not a big deal. Even still, the standard setup is fairly good for the occasional track day. Everything else you can easily do to the standard bike, the Termi exhaust and Pirelli tires.

@@twowheelin7361 awesome! But to be helpful, tell Sahiet why they should get it. People tend to buy the top of the line stuff just because. But if you can afford it and are able to change your order, go for it! But if not, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the standard bike and nothing you can’t do with it over the SP that’s going to make a world of difference as a new rider/first bike.

@ToastToGo Жыл бұрын

You'll only "need" the SP if you're serious about cornering performance and possibly track time. Otherwise, it's not needed. BUT... down the road, you can always swap in upgraded suspension into your Monster once you've outgrown the limits or performance of the stock suspension. Just keep the stock suspension so you can swap it back in when it's time to sel the bike in the future, if that time may come.
