Had the MT, R3, pro raced R1, tried the ktm, and tested a lot of bikes. This is the one.
Looking forward to a proper Street Triple RS v 890R v Monster SP v MT09 SP comparison. Please find a way to do all four bikes at once rather than MCN 250 pairs.
Just got one, it's great and totally different than my 765, can't really compare straight across the board. Shaker 937 twin vs revvy 765 triple, just different bikes. Ducati knows how to make a bike with character and detail, I love it. The most desirable bikes never seem to be cheap ...
@@cowmath77Triumph is about refinement. By that standard no other nakeds come close. They are almost boring they are so refined.
Another great review keep it up Nevvsey awesome
I think I'd go for the Hypermotard SP. Basically the same components/motor but a much better looking bike in my mind. (If you can tolerate the ride height)
I still own a first gen monster 2001 750 metallic that I will never get rid of.
As a Ducati owner, I say get a Yamaha MT09SP or a KTM 890R or a triumph 675 rs. They're better deals in my opinion.
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
I miss the trellis frame not into the modern look.
‘Same …
Saw one at a local bike show a couple of weeks ago.
Nice bike, but it’s hopelessly overpriced.
It costs 30% more than a Duke 890 R or the new Street RS.
For the same money I could buy a brand new MT-10, fit better pads + braided lines and still have enough money for +400 litres of petrol.
That’s about enough to power your new MT-10 for a whole month 😂
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
Lighter... faster... better!
A Monster doesn't have to be insanely fast, it just needs to be quick and visually cool. A Bologna Monster without a Bologna (trellis) frame isn't cool. It's now just another solid lump of motorcycle parked in a sea of motorcycles at Philip Island. One you now walk past on your way to look at an S4R. I'd love to hear Miguel Galluzzi's thoughts. Yeah, I'm still surly about the frame. Cheers, Neevesy!
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
I’d take the old looks with the new tech.
Great vid, thanks! Have you noticed, what brand lithium batteries are being installed by Ducati?
Think I'll need to test ride one of these then. 👍
Trellis framed monster owner here. The new bikes just don’t have the curb appeal anymore. Maybe the younger guys have a different opinion. Mv Augusta nakeds are just way more complex to look at standing still. A factor in new purchases for many.
Looks a hoot - got to get me a go on one of those, I loved the standard bike, I'm wondering if the extra seat height and stiffer suspension may actually make this bike less attractive for me (as a rubbish slow rider and a shorty).....does look gorgeous though. Thanks for the vid!
Stiffer suspension but he said it's fully adjustable. Therefore it can be made softer. 🍨
wow wonderful....
Ive had my ‘22 Hyper SP for 18months and it feels like this Monster SP is really a Hyper for vertically challenged and smaller people with reduced weight and lower ride height with the same bonkers ride a Hyper. I need to test one
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!
I'd love a Ducati. But being a commuter that would have to leave it on the road in London I know it wouldn't be long before it was gone.
Does this SP come with the forged wheels?
Do a comparison between this and mt09, Street triple 765 and 890r
Need this bike!!!!! It will look good next to my Panigale V4. 😁
Nice ...but I will stick with my 660 factory.. and 5k savings... 🍻
Miss the trellis frame, lost the Ducati wow factor for me with the new look 😥
I've had a few Ducatis, I would say they are great when they work, but make sure you have an extended warranty on it.
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%
I thought my 890r was expensive enough but sheesh that's a lot of dosh
If they could sort the plate holder out, would agree with you.
Loved the 888 SP5. This looks a great bike but Ducati servicing and reliability are a turn off. How often do the belts need changing?
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 😉
Nice but I'll stick to my mt09 😁
this monster is bonkers
👍
❤
Which jeans are you wearing Neevesy?
Isn't it time you settled down and got a proper job? Joking! Love your analysis!
This last generation Monster, although non bling version was the most disappointing bike I've rode.
It looked and felt really cheap.
14k pounds? Here in Finland 22k euros :(
Seriously? 14,990 EUR in CZ.
20k (16k for normal one) Pounds in India :(
I'm glad I still have my Monster 1100 Evo, as these new bikes all look the same, doesn't even look Italian. If you painted all manufactures the same color and took the brand off, wouldn't be able to work out what's what from 15 yds away.
A bit of how it sounds would have been good chaps
I'm a weirdo... but I'd get the ftr in this category. Unfortunately for indian, I'm out of moneyyy
If I had enough money for monster sp
i'd rather buy MV agusta brutale or dragster
14k for a 109 bhp.bike...not sure about that.I like the older monsters
Although being the 'better' configuration, that engine is boring compared to a duke 890R...
And single sided swing arm
Got it all, shame its not the prettiest
Looks like something from Korea.
And of course...gotta have the gold forks🤣
Great looking bike not really my cup of t though .am holding forward for kawasaki new 400cc head banger lol 😆
Save £3000 and buy the ktm 890R..
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
This "Monster" looks like a SV650.
Looks good but way too overpriced
How tiny is that thing? You look like a giant riding it.
Before the mt09sp I would have bought one of these.
Not a Monster.
Get a used 1200R with Termis. 163bhp, 160kg.
It has really lost the shape that made it look really light and elegant. Weirdly bloated. Like a fat goldfish with wheels.
Want bad
Monster? More like chuffing Hamster!
Sounds like you were really struggling to say anything good about this bike to be honest. Not worth the money and a pointless buy over a standard monster or any of the competitors. I’m sure you’re allowed to say that!!
Were they cornered into losing the looks in order to meet some politician's requirements? Each generation marches away from sexy like it got cancelled on social media.
Trellis frame was the identity of the bike…ruined it.
As good looking as a cabbage
Would you buy the 24 street triple or the 23 monster SP? Local canyon twisties and back roads. Day tripper.
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.
Way overpriced. Get a Street Triple or Yamaha MT09 and save yourself money.
No no no and no
FFS ,,, it looks just bland...
i dont get it- u like uglee bikes? try yamahas theyre just as uglee an 'cheep'er.
Looks like a cheap Chinese bike
I still own a first gen monster 2001 750 metallic that I will never get rid of.
