It continues to amaze me that near 1 litre V-Twins are now viewed as middle-weights 😂
Power-wise they are 🤷♂️
@@JTmoto True, but I remember when the Suzuki SV1000 was considered a "big" bike, and it made about as much power as the Monster. How the needle has moved.
@@peterjackson998 also true, but even then the 750's and up sports bikes would run circles around it. It's kind of an apples to oranges comparison I know, but it is what it is. Bikes are just that insane today 😅
Almost a liter, but I am pretty sure it's intentionally under-stressed to modest power levels, and the primary advantage of 937cc here is the signature Ducati sound.
Living the dream chops. Hard work pays off. The editing of your videos are outstanding and always worth a watch. 👍🏼😎
Thanks buddy 😁👍
Superb review Chopsy. Light weight and plenty of torque makes this look a ideal bike for UK twisties.
Can definitely tell you’re having fun
Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Love the colour scheme, love the sound, top stuff LCR as always! You the man! 👍
Love your videos chops, definitely my fave youtuber. The detail you go into is very informative, superb camera work. Awesome mate keep up the good work 👍
Thanks Martyn 👍👍
Great bike chops. I had a test ride on the standard version last year. Massive fun on twisty B roads. A future purchase for sure.
Thanks for another great review Chopsy. Always a good watch. Really nice looking bike.
Great review Chopsie! Beautiful bike, not suprised you love it, if it goes as good as it looks!
Best intro in RUclips in my opinion. Videos are informative without being boring. Thanks Chopsy!
Thanks buddy 👍
Great review chopsy , looks like you where having a good laugh on the monster . Good to see a bit of dry road and blue sky again !! 😁
Great Channel mate, and it was your super duke GT appraisal that made me buy one. Love this 2023 Monster.
Great video and commentary. Classic Chops. Brilliant. The bike is rather cool too.
Infectious enthusiasm. I like.
That's a good looking monster that
Great vid as always Mr chops 👍
All the best
Thanks Michael 👍👍
Wow. The fast driving view by motorcycle looks great and relieves the stress I have.😀👍👍
Such an underrated engine, I chose the Multistrada for more comfort but so much fun in the real world, the induction noise is addictive, love it🤣😆👍
Looking forward to the group test with the 890 R and Street Triple RS Chopsy. Really enjoying my RS - its cosmic!
Great watch Chopsy, honest review with no-bullsh*t, as always! As an almost-50 rider finding my Panigale a bit too uncompromising and convinced my next move was either a Streetfighter V2 or Street Triple, I'm now really conflicted.. Cheers for that mate, quite a few more months of indecision ahead of me now.. 😡🖕🤣🤣
Another good review Lamb Chop.
Great review. Thanks
Just bloody awesome 👌
Nice work Chopsy.
I've come around to liking the look of the new Monster. I don't miss the frame now, and as you say, the new one is lighter.
love the review mate , I must say if Ducati didn't bring out the streetfighter V2 i would have totally gone for this bike , what a great looking bit of kit .
Thanks Andy 👍
Although physically a small bike (you made it look like a 250 !), you didn't once say it felt uncomfortable, so it must be fine. Great video again Chopsy 👍😎
Haha was great I could beast it about! We were only on it for an hour so hard to tell about comfort but seemed reasonable 👍
It is a great bike Chops but it is very expensive. I believe it is considerably more pricey than the competition. Looking forward to your middleweight shootout. This, the new Triumph 765 rs, the KTM 890R and the The Yam MT09 SP. For good measure you could include the Kawa Z900 S.E, oh and the Yam XSR900. Anyway mate keep up the good work.
Monster would be my pick of current Ducatis this SP looks very nice 😊❤🤩🏅
I really like the look of new monster SP. It looks like a fun machine to ride.
I think that you and Greg might have to have another middleweight shootout..😊 👍
Indeed! 😁👍
Chops, that is a sick pirelli hat in the intro, my friend. I'm 20 stone as well mate at 6'5". At least we wear it well 😂
Great bike, one I’ve never rode, would very much like to though. That front mudguard lol. What’s the point of it?
Not too shabby a day that one… enjoy the rewards of the hard work. 👍🍕
Thanks buddy 😁👍
That noise - takes me back to my Hyper 950 SP days. Looked like a decent pace on the group rides 🤣
Yeah it was rather brisk Tim! Very good though 😁
Great vid as usual, nice bike.....but what is the chest rig u r wearing please
Must be good bike riding around pants roads near Silverstone 👍 who doesn't love a Ducati L twin have 2 pp ms1200 and 10984 s👍 keep up the good work chops .
Group test with the KTM 890r and the Triumph street triple RS??😏
Oh yes 😁👍
That looks a fun machine
Ace first look vid Chopsy, I have been looking at this bike since it came out, I prefer the looks of the other versions as not keen on this paint option. Is nice that Ducati have brought the bike into the modern era with the new frame.
It's really good Pete, can't stop thinking about it actually! Haha
@@LambChopRides 😁 you got room for another bike now with your fancy garage! 😁
you confirmed my decision to acquire a monster SP - thanks. I've got plenty of power in my other motos. while the supersport is what i'd like, it is heavier. now, when they produce a supersport with the 155hp v2 and the better frame, I'LL CERTAINLY BUY ONE AND SURELY MANY OTHERS WILL TOO!
20 CV de plus bien repartis suffiraient avec 20 Kg de moins
finally 🎉, was searching for it in your list and was wondering what’s so bad about it that you didn’t ride it.
Definitely considering it as a first big bike, now riding a small 310 bmw.
Yeah I just missed this one when it came out in standard form 👍
@@LambChopRides nice! can’t wait to see the video on the big tv, now just listened to it during walking the doggie :)
Nice bike , the dealerships are so far and few it keeps the brand not a option in the state I live in USA ,thanks Chops
Great review Chops. I currently ride a 1200S Monster and I’m wondering if I’d miss the BHP if I traded in for one of these…🤷🏼♂️
So we’re going with “mono-coook” then are we? 😂
Would be interested in how this compares to the new Street Triple. My old 675R was my favourite road bike.
About the same price (USA), Monster SP vs Street Triple Moto2 + fly screen. Monster has better TFT/ui, hydraulic clutch, steering damper, low end torque, launch control. 765 is a high strung sports bike with frantic peak power. Both have a nice intake roar, but they are vastly different bikes engine-wise. Seat gets warm on the Monster due to rear cylinder. 765 is smoother whereas the Duc is a bit of a shaker down low (both are interesting, this is personal preference, some would say the 765 is boringly smooth.)
@@xorbe2 is that based on your own riding impressions or is that a spec sheet opinion, because the Street Triple is definitely not a high strung sports bike 😂
@@Mockle07 Yes I had both. My '18 RS was a bit high strung. I heard they reeled it in a little bit, I have Moto2 on order. However others that have the latest R/RS say not much changed, so ...
@@xorbe2 Mine didn’t feel high stung at all, but then coming from 3 R6s perhaps little would. The ‘18 Monster felt like a very old bike that new riders would think was great because it was loud and felt thumpy and “characterful” but it was massacred by the Triumph in the corners.
Character means very little to me without handling, which is why I’m wondering if the new Monster might actually be an option for me now.
Nice video Chopsy, looked great fun and a spirited ride. Did the first group pull over to let your group go through? sounds great too 👍🏻
No they turned left and we turned right 👍 ride was a decent pace 😁👍
Awesome mate what GoPro are you using and what settings. Thanks maté great review
Hero 11 in 4k / 60 fps 👍
Two Ducati s had a chat ,,oh my dynamics got a great workout,,yes but his own Ducati is in the cupboard 😢😢😢 don't want him to buy me,, chop's great video 👍☘️ your going to be busy with testing 😮😮😮😮 good for US ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland
pretty sure the 950ss or what it is called will get the same frame, after all it was basically a faired monster :P
Coming from aprilla rs125, and now approaching 40 years old. Iv always dreamed of having a ducati since the fogerty days. Im really really keen on this new moster sp. Im not looking to do still speeds im just after a nice looking road bike to go out on with my mates cb650r. This would be my first big power bike would you recommend?
Pressed the like button before we even got to the intro 😂
Good man! 😁👍
Loving the videos, will you be doing a gt shoot out this year? Cheers
Not sure Steven, R1250 RS vs Mandello comparison for sure!
That should be a good one do like the look of the mandello
Dear Chopsy
I've been a subscriber for a fair time now and have continued to watch and support you. I've always enjoyed your vids and how you present them. You've put in a lot of hard work and it's meant you've grown the channel and your reach; not just with the YT community but with the industry itself. And in that lies my problem.
The Monster SP is a great bike, no doubt but, you seem to trip over yourself to not say anything negative or even seemingly negative. I've always felt that your criticisms have always been fair and handled primarily with kid gloves and that's appealing. Now however it feels as though as your reach and privileges have expanded, your being overly cautious to not just say anything negative but more to keep and curry favour with the manufacturers.
It's tough and by no means can I tell you what to do, I'm certainly not privy to any of the conversations and dealings you have with said manufacturers but a word of caution from me, someone who has worked for both manufacturers and in media, that once you lose your integrity, it's damn near impossible to get it back.
I'm not going anywhere and will continue to support you. Please though, always remember what made you who you are and got you to this point. Honest and fair with a dose of good mannered humour.
I watch motorcycle reviews on RUclips purely for entertainment. They are all basically commercials for the bikes. Rarely is anything bad said, and that's by design. These influencers have a tricky gig, to still be informative while not biting the hand that feeds.
@@churchofbrap876 exactly. The phrase "the hands that feeds them" is precisely the problem. When I worked in the biz it was the unspoken rule that you never mentioned out loud. Just hoping Chopsy is careful and treads lightly
I'd seen several poor reviews of this bike, but you've made me want to test ride one;-) Why do I watch bike reviews?🤨 It looks nothing like the Monsters of yesteryear, half way between an Aprillia and Japanese style but I must admit I like it. And light weight is definitely a big pro for me. Thanks and ride safe.
Certainly worth a testride, I absolutely loved it!
Speaking of the hypermotard…….when are the rebuild vids going to start dropping?
I also find it amazing how cameras make you look like your traveling much faster than you really are ;)
Hopefully soon, keep telling myself must get cracking
I have a 2021 Monster plus and I think I prefer the simple red colour scheme on mine. The colour scheme on the SP is a bit too fussy for me. The steering damper is not standard on the basic models and I had to fit one to mine - very twitchy in crosswinds or overtaking large trucks without it. Will be fitting (well the dealer will) the full termi exhaust system that's on the sp soon. Sold my 2015 Monster 821 stripe to get the new one and it's a much more fun bike than the 821.
Chops was that baron von grumble on the V4 multi ??? Flying 😮⚡️⚡️⚡️🏍️🏍️
No it wasn't, he was flying though!
I need some friends at Ducati to do a Hyper vs Monster side by side review..
Good video, thanks. When the Hypermotard's back together would be interesting to see how it compares with a Monster of a similar vintage?
Yeah will certainly do a modern hypermotard compared to mine 👍
Great review Chops. I really like this bike & the higher spec is gorgeous but it's just too expensive for what it is imo. Especially when you've got the Triumph 765 RS for about 2k less. Objectively I do prefer the Ducati but only just & 14k is a hell of a lot to blow on a middleweight, albeit a top spec one. Unfortunately the lower spec Monster is also a bit over priced too imo at 11k. Particularly when it has non-adjustable suspension & you have the Triumph 765R for 9.5k. With all that said it's a great bike I would love to own & Ducati are a premium brand so the price is to be expected regardless of what I think. I'm just poor & bitter lol!
Yeah I do agree, the Ducati you do get much more customisable electronics though. For example, turning off wheelie control but leaving traction on in a particular mode. Something you can only dream of on the Triumph! But yes your paying extra for the Ducati premium for sure 👍 plus the RS triumph doesn't have front ohlins, this is more like the moto2 at 13.5k.. so very closely priced
@@LambChopRides Ah, fair point. It's still pricey but that does help to explain the price gap to the RS to a large extent. It's a great bike but 14k.....wow.
Right there with ya on the Desmo L twins. I own this new SP, an also a Supersport 950s. Wonderful engine. Loads of feedback. I have a V2 for the track. Thats where it belongs. Its torture on the street. So, when is the V100 vs R1250RS compare coming?
Will get that organised soon 👍👍
@@LambChopRides sweet thx! i have a new v100 myself. My heart loves it, but my head is starting to say no. I actually thinking the RS looks super nice too.
another brilliant video, it wheelies very well but not on public roads 😂😂😂😂go on butty give it the beans. How much is it ££££ 👍😎
It is rather expensive Mike at 14k!
Nice one Chops. Is this the impetus you needed to get the Hyper rebuild started?
Yeah absolutely!! 👍
Great little bike though when I went for a test ride as a short arse I had to settle for the standard Monster but I have to say still a fantastic bike, so light and punchy and it's hard to beat a V/L twin engine, it'll be interesting to see how it stacks up against the new Street Triple RS, any news of you testing the RS Chopsy?
Coming soon, Street here in a couple of weeks 👍
Nice … looks like a Bruttale 800RR ,not as pretty or powerful but something about naughty naked destroyers , they always make you grin !
Yeah your right, certainly very similar 👍
Very nice little trundler. I wonder how it compares with that new KTM SP?
Better price than Harley Sportster S- who’d win in a straight line?
Can you make a review of the standard model?
Where does this line up against the Streetfighter V2?
Nice timing, always forget to subscribe as well. Saturday morning + coffee + RUclips bike videos👌🏻
Don't forget to subscribe 😉 👍
@@LambChopRides lol I have today.
Wow that's a big statement saying that it's better than the hypermotard Chopsy!! 😲 But I've watched quite a few reviews on this old baby & most say more or less the same thing as you & as usual great review & very informative Chopsy!! 👌🏻👍🏻😁
It's really good! Surprised me 🤯
@@LambChopRides obviously for you to say you would buy one rather than the Hypermotard!! 😱😁👌🏻👍🏻
Not much less than an s1000R. Is it that good?
I really considered this one, but the 890 Duke R is way better value (4000£ cheaper in Norway). More Hp and torque, great suspension, more sporty feel and way more capable for track days
Great first ride. Look forward to a middle weight shoot out!
What is the price on one of these?
Thoughts vs the 890r or z900? Great video 👊
890r is lighter, more fun but has many reliability issues so Z900 S.E for me.
So you like it. what is the price differance to the non SP?
Not sure Steve but probably 2 / 3k difference
I wonder what the real world tank range is? My 848 was 90mls before the light was meant to come on, although most of the time it didn't work. People say "if you buy a bike like this, you are not bothered by range", after the 848 and a 1098 and a 900ss, I am. This is of course the problem with big Vs.....but once you're hooked that's it. It is also quite plastic in places with pipes jutting out rather visually unresolved. I suppose it's why its 14k. Ride wise, it might just be perfect for UK Sunday scratching though. Realistically, the standard model is absolutely fine and offers better value. Ride one, go on, I dare you!!!!!!
This my dream bike. Shoot out we need (middle weight nakeds) Ducati Monster, ktm duke 890, mv agusta brutale 800, Mt09, z900, street triple, aprilia 660.
Will put it against some of those soon 👍
@@LambChopRides Middle weight nakeds the best catagory. Most fun for roads and more friendly on the bank account. Id hopefully stretch to the older monster 821 model in future
Hi Chops..would like to see your review on the new 890DukeR..✌️
Trying it in a couple of weeks 😁👍
@@LambChopRides huhuuu..nice..will wait for it💪
whats happening with the tacho? looks like its moving up and down at 10 mins
Just an illusion from the Gopro 👍
I feel I have heard other reviews say the front shocks dip under breaking, and that the gear changes can be clunky?
Can you speak to that?
I can only speak of what I noticed and as you can see it was a spirited ride. I've ridden the Hypermotard extensively and yes the gearbox on the qs/ blipper can sometimes be clunky but no worse than some of the competition. I actually didn't notice any of that on this ride.
I also thought the suspension setup was fantastic. Its possible it had been adjusted from the base settings by Ducati since the initial launch settings.. 🤷♂️
Happy Sunday, many thanks for the Reply.
I will see if I can get a test ride next time I get the triumph serviced next door 🙌
@LambChopRidepar contre ce qui est gênant,c,est la selle plus haute.
How does it compare to new triumph street triple 765 rs and ktm duke 890r ??
Soon to find out 👍
@@LambChopRides 👌🏾
Interesting how it would compare to Duke 890r. Seems like less agricultural alternative
I was wondering how the fueling was? Big tank? Fuel gauge? Perhaps could you have a 2 week hire to find out how living with it is and to find out questions like these. Cheers Chops.
👍👍 will do
That would surprise a few people on bigger bikes on a track day 😂👍
Yes it absolutely would 👍👍
would it be any good on the track as a first big bike? heard other tubers saying anything less than a sporty position is kinda useless on a track 🤔
@Marian Chicu Track guys love to bluster and tell other people what to do. My local track day organizer passes people in A group while giving two up rides on his MT10. You can be fast on anything, and if you're a beginner it really doesn't matter.
@@MarianChicu you only have to go to a track day and see loads of naked bikes and super mortards having fun.
👍👍👍
Monocook ! Which part of France are you from Chopsie ? 🤔🇫🇷
Haha 😆
How this engine compares to old air cooled 1100?
Not as much grunt but more refinement 👍
@@LambChopRides So basically said old 1100 is more raw and aggressive which means more fun😁? I have monster 1100 (2009) pre Evo so very curious to test that new Monster. But mine weights the same and still has trellis frame which is plus for me.
This or the Hypermotard 950 SP? 🤔
Yes!
What a cracker.
Vs Duke 890R. Cant wait.
Yeah should be a good one that! 👍
and the beem f900r, the street triple 765, maybe tuono 660,...
Now we need some foodstuf to test on the tour...
I'm a big fan of the Monster having owned a M1000ie and a M796, and my Supersport 937 has the same the same engine as the Current monster so clearly I'm a fan, but with that said I'd go for the new Street triple rs which is incredible and cheaper. Cheers Choppsy
Over the new street triples?
Not sure as not ridden them yet.. but will let you know!
Ride it back2back with the MT-09SP….
Then tell me what exhaust you bought for the MT-09SP
Did you notice how hot the bike ran? I found it torturous riding that bike through towns and villages..
No never noticed any heat.. never had actual with this motor, V4 yes
let me guess chopsy i think you enjoyed that don't know why 😂🤣😂
I love how Ducati have Chops saying "Monocoque" all posh.. or perhaps he's just saying it that way to mask the fact he Monocoque'd up remembering the word to begin with 🤣🤣
Ask Mavis how it's pronounced, Chops.
We can rely on her to put you right/bring you down a peg lol
Haha 😆👍
Ducati should bring back the trellis frame ... it looks so much better.
Big steering damper , right in front you .
It looks like a Grom on you.
Let’s not talk about stuff that can’t happen or will not happen that way we narrow down the Hadeeth hewars
I guess if you're new to Monsters, it works but having ridden and seen Monsters evolve since launch way back when, for me it looks like any new naked bike. Cover the badge and it could be something from Japan or China.....😟. Im sure it rides well (everything does these days to be fair - a £7k Hornet is great apparently and you have £7k to spend on fuel, tyres etc..). Im sure if you love Ducatis and have plenty of cash, youll be very happy with it as its a great bike, lots of options new and used in this category which is great IMO😉👍👍
I test rode the standard bike & wasn’t impressed with anything about it, I describe it as a budget bike, looking at the sp in the flesh, it definitely looks a better finished bike but couldn’t sit & admire it in the garage.
I’ve got my hyper sp up for sale at Craigs motorcycles 🤦 & I’m replacing it with the triumph moto 2.
Let’s hope I’ve made the right decision as I haven’t ridden one 🤣👊✊️✊️
Moto2 does look incredible!
@@LambChopRides just wondering if the riding position is a little too race prone with the upside down clip ons 🤷♂️ 👊✊️✊️
"technocological" 😂
It's a word right?? 😆👍
How can you forget what frame it is! It's got the word cock in it! 😂😂😂
Can of something cold.
