Do you have an affiliate link for the led tail?
Hey no affiliate links yet! Thanks for asking though.
I have a MT07 and a Monster 796 love them both , naked bikes are the way to go, easy to ride and to do maintenance 😀
I'm interested to know if you've tried a ktm duke 790/890 and how they compare to the monster. Great vid, thanks.
I haven’t. I’ll have to soon!
Monster 950 feels faster then supersport 950✊
I just bought this Demo from Motorcycle of Charlotte but the demo I bought is a 2022, from Romy and Charlie
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!
Hey bro, I'm planning to buy a superbike and my priority is looks. I have decided that I'll buy a used Ducati monster 821. Can this bike grab that much attention, is it a head turner? please tell me
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.
@@ridexdrivewhat's your personal experience? Does this bike get public reaction on road while you are riding.
Didn’t really notice much I was busy enjoying it. Honestly hard to answer that question.
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 love this bike I came from a mt07 this thing is a rocket. I'm just worried about the heat issue typical ducati it gets hot
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!
The sound of that Termi is torture to my bank account....
Haha. True. They are expensive.
Is this the same exhaust that comes with SP ? This exhaust sound amazingly beautiful
This is my new dream bike. Amazing review bro!!!!
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.
Hopefully you at least tried it out. It's a great bike. Straight up!
I haven't taken one for a test ride yet, still want to though.
If it wasn't for non adjustable forks and preload only in rear well I'd already own one. I can live without cruise control for short hikes but i do a 4hr monthly round trip also.
The waffle house has found its new host
What’s that mean?
How long does the rear tire last, if you ride at such low pressure that it rubs like yours?
Def my next bike. After watching this as me stoked to get one
Happy to have found a Charlotte motorcycle youtuber. And this is the bike I have been eyeing. 10/10 review.
That's what's up! Starting to find more and more people watching from the Charlotte area. Whenever you decide to buy definitely hit up Motorcycles of Charlotte and tell them I sent you. Thanks for the kind words, keeps me motivated. Cheers!
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.
Never once thought the bike felt like junk but everyone experiences things differently. Glad you found a bike you are happy with!
I have one and this isn’t true at all
Do you know if that was termis with DB killers or without?
Not sure. Might be able to find out though.
@@ridexdrive thanks, great vid by the way! First I’ve found that’s professional with that exhaust
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
@@AnthonyBuonanno it doesn’t have DB killers. Went to the dealership today and found out.
That is what I am looking for…fun. Does it have a quick shifter?
Yes, up and down quick shifter come standard 👊✊
Thank you for such a detailed review . Found everything i was looking for
Awesome! Glad it was helpful. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks. Call Ducati for your referral fee. I am ordering one
Haha. Thanks. Awesome to hear.
Great review! How would you rate this compared to the BMW F900R? The Monster still has all the tech and is more accessible to newer riders.
Haven’t had a chance to ride one yet but we can make that happen soon!
@@ridexdrive thanks for the reply, really enjoyed your review. It’s a good up for me between the Monster and the BMW. Hope you and your family have a safe and Merry Christmas 👍
How did you get non-USA turn signals in the USA?
You can buy them from Ducati. It’s in their equipment/accessories list. $155
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 👍👍🇨🇦
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!
@@ridexdrive 👍
Is that a slip on exhaust? Did you have to tune it?
Not sure exactly sure if it’s the slip on or full exhaust.
A review straight from the heart. Just loved it!
Thanks! Glad you felt the passion. haha. Cheers!
Waiting for my Ducati Monster +. Can't wait!
Awesome. Enjoy!
Is that the Termi slip on? or full system?
It’s a full exhaust system, no baffles
Do you know the Name of this ducati tail?
Pretty sure it’s the NewRageCycles (NRC) fender eliminator kit.
beautyful
😍😍
Excelent review. Subd
Hey! Really appreciate it. Thanks for the support.
Good review! Is the exhaust the racing or street one?
Thanks! Not 100% sure. I could likely find out.
Its the racing one
Love it! Nice work.
Thanks!
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
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.
@@ridexdrive Thank you!
@@sahietstephen2294 buy the SP! I just ordered one✌🏽
@@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.
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.
The 9 month wait for mine, (late Jan) is torture also!
Dang. That is a long wait. Congrats on the purchase though. It's an awesome bike.
9 month? holy moly shmoly damy chezazy.....
@@buzzikea haha 😂
Where is the trellis frame?
Not a monster 👎
you have no idea how happy I am to see a Carolina rider reviewing some of my favorite bikes. got my Triumph Street Cup from Motorcycles of Charlotte and couldn't be happier.
That’s awesome to hear. Thanks for the comment. They’re a great group at Motorcycles of Charlotte. Street Cups are awesome looking bikes!
Hello! I've recently moved to this city. Could you recommend some more interesting moto events, places etc?
@@alexkhorne7733 good luck. most of the venues are Cars and Coffee and a few classic car shows/swap meets at the motor speedway. Myrtle Beach bike week in May is always a banger though.
What kind of Moto events are you interested in? There’s a decent amount of stuff within a days drive but the type of event can vary quite a bit.
@@ridexdrive I'm not sure, amigo, because I am a newbie in this sphere and I'd like to estimate and compare all the stuff
