  • Finally managed to get onto the new Monster SP courtesy of a good friend, a Ducatista, the legend Wayne Calver.
    This ride was a mix of town riding, B-roads and A-roads testing the Monster SP in all the typical UK road conditions and giving it a proper review against my riding experiences of the Hyper SP.
    Massive thanks to Wayne for trusting me and letting me ride his Monster SP. Wayne has both the Monster SP and Hyper SP which he will be looking to sell soon.

    Found it so fun to ride I sold my streetfighter V4S for it and now waiting delivery this month.
    The streetfighter V4S was too much for the roads I was riding it on and the fuel consumption was getting out of hand!

      @@linserr90 100%.. V4S is a great bike but its a touch scary the things it can do in an average riders hand.. whereas the Monster SP improves the average rider which brings the fun back

      @@hypermotardking exactly that, was riding way too fast everywhere.
      Now that I have a small boy at home it made me reconsider my choice.
      That first motorcycle fun was back within the first 5 minutes of the test ride and that is what's about for me.

      Same for me coming from a Tuono V4, always way too fast, and while on chill rides i hardly could use higher gears than 3rd.
      I fell in love with lil devil and its agility, it leans so quick and easy!
      Waiting for the delivery ❤

    Just doesn’t seem to be a Monster without the trellis frame. Or at least the frame being distinct somehow. I’m my opinion. Other wise nice bike and would love to own one if money was no concern
