    Whilst KTM and Aprilia win the performance battle, Ducati certainly know how to put together a premium bike, stunning!

    It's a ripping bike! I couldn't agree more about personal choice, a bike should fit your personality like a glove. We all have our quirks and a good fitting bike will cover all those characteristics. The looks of your Monster are astounding and your part choice adds to it!

      Cheers buddy, it’s great to jazz up your bike to make it bespoke to you 👍

  • @simul808
    @simul808 6 лет назад +2

    The hoses look like that because of the wax which is used in the rubber permeating to the surface. It is used in the compound to combat ozone cracking as the rubber ages. Rather than trying to get rid I would just cover it with something like ACF -50 as you mentioned below. Lovely lovely machine by the way and great video.

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS
      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  6 лет назад

      Cheers mate, will try ACF50 on the hoses later today 👍

    Clean the hoses with silicon spray works a treat. Muc silicone spray is the best IMO just spray on and leave to dry then wipe over.

      Stumbled across your Vlogs after googling CB500X in December 17 after returning to the biking world and now own a 500X which is undergoing Rallyraid conversion... as I watch more vids there are about 20 bikes I want to own... keep up the entertaining work, You kind of remind me of the Alan Partridge of the Biking world but with a little more taste..

      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  6 лет назад

      Cheers buddy, awesome you are getting a new Monster, good luck picking it up, you will love it although 600miles of running it in is painful as you want to give it full beans 😜

  • @ComedyGold-ml8wc

    There isn't a naked that looks better. I own the new monster but this design was timeless

  • @dougie1325
    @dougie1325 6 лет назад

    What you said at the end about people asking why you bought the Monster and not a super naked. I agree with you and the same reason I went for the Speed Triple R, enough power for me, with a quality build and great all round bike. Shed loads of low end torque and smooth progressive power. Can be a hooligan if you want it to be and a pussycat if you don’t.

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS
      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  6 лет назад

    @worldtraveler8613 5 месяцев назад +1

    I have the werkes competition exhaust on my 821 and I have never heard a meaner exhaust. Everyone gets termignoni but they can't possibly sound better. My Ducati now sounds like a Harley and even crackles and pops on throttle blips. And it's LOUD.. maybe too loud even 😬

  • @chrisskinner4434

  • @Truncali82
    @Truncali82 6 лет назад +1

    Beautiful bike! Excellent choices in upgrades. I own a Suzuki SV650n which embodies many of the same qualities as the Monster. Unfortunately I find the SV to be underpowered for highway riding and although the SV is a great bike and highly upgradable there is no way to bring it to the level of refinement that Ducati offers. One day I hope to own a Ducati Monster similar to yours. Thank you for sharing.

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS
      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  6 лет назад

    Hey, you can clean your hoses with the "meguiar's ultimate black" it works pretty well on my Monster 1200 R. You can use it on your hoses and plastic parts too.

  • @rapidres5496
    @rapidres5496 6 лет назад

    Looking well!!!! Loving the discreet mods. With all the horrible little stones on the road i advise you look into ventureshield. Its s clear film to protect the paint work. I have had it applied to my tuono.

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS
      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  6 лет назад +1

      Cheers mate, may go for some venture shield on the tank, will look into it!

  • @jamesmelendez4549
    @jamesmelendez4549 6 лет назад

    Excellent video. Bikes are extremely personal machines as you indicated. I'm looking at getting a street fighter bike in the next few yrs so I've started looking around. I'm in my 50s now so full on sport bike is just to uncomfortable lol lol. I was looking at the KTM, APRILIA and BMW but your video opened my eyes to Ducati. Thank you. 👍

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS
      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  6 лет назад +1

      Glad my video was of some use James, I’m late 40’s and done with sportsbikes too, I need comfort and speed at my age 😜

  • @nickb638
    @nickb638 6 лет назад

    Well done man! This is exactly what I have done. However, I disassembled the headlight, to have the headlight surround powder-coated in black to match the rest of the bike and it looks a bit better I think, as there isn;t really anywhere else on the bike that has that grey, the black is nice.

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS
      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  6 лет назад

      Cheers buddy, great idea on powder coating the headlight surround has hot me thinking 👍

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS
      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  6 лет назад +1

      Cheers mate, may change to bar end mirrors at some point, my Bro has high sider ones on his SDR 👍

  • @nicodifrancesco5843
    @nicodifrancesco5843 6 лет назад

    Dude once you've cleaned the bike, put some silicone dedicated oil or tyre silicone, wich you can get in grocery store, in car and accesories section, to bring back that shiny black colour. The same with brake and clutch hoses mate. Wonderful bike!

  • @hxgianni1
    @hxgianni1 6 лет назад

    Nice upgrades !
    About the rusty chain is obviously that it has '0' lubrication on it, I clean mine yesterday and let it dry over night and it already start to show tiny bits of rust. I have never have rust problems on my Monster chain, I'll keep with maintenance on it...

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS
      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  6 лет назад

      Cheers buddy, yes as soon as I cleaned and lubed it the rust has gone, the crap they put on at the factory is like a rust magnet I think, I clean and lube every 200miles without fail, OCD has something to do With that I think 😜

  • @malucci007

    Hi for your hoses try silicon spray from liqui moly it protects and turns black not too glossy, really improves looks and protects.

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS

    There's something to be said for a man who'll spare no expense! Looks great man.
    Don't you have to remap it when you decat it?
    You might try Flexidip on the hoses. It's just rubberized paint you can spray right on them. If it doesn't look good you can just peel it off.

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS
      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  6 лет назад

      Cheers buddy, when Ducati fitted the Termi pipe it comes with its own map key so all good! Thanks for the flexibility tip, have cleaned them up and they are now looking much better 😜

    Bike looks stunning,just bought an 821 as a second bike,wondering if I should have gone for the 1200 ?
    Saying that it’s my first Ducati and I’m hooked…

  • @dougie1325
    @dougie1325 6 лет назад

    That is a very nice Monster. You always fit nice extras to your bikes. I’m with you on Evotech, they are awesome. I’ve fitted their stuff to my Speed Triple. That has to be one of the smallest huggers I’ve seen. Each to their own but I think I would fit some bar end mirrors or swap them out for Rizoma.

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS
      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  6 лет назад

      Cheers buddy, my mate has bar ends on his 1200S so will ride his and see what I think, it is a very small hugger I agree and silly money to have it in carbon but I couldn’t resist! Evotech is superb quality and lasts the test of time too 👍

  • @Fraanch
    @Fraanch 6 лет назад

    You should look into ceramic coating your headers, makes the bike look alot nicer imo. A great addition would also be the ducabike clear clutch cover.
    Beautiful bike, very jealous. I wish you many enjoyable miles.
    I'm most likely getting the yellow 821 as my second bike.

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS
      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  6 лет назад

      That’s a great idea mate, I loved the 821 when I made a video of it, I wish they did yellow for the 1200 😜

  • @mikestewart7322
    @mikestewart7322 6 лет назад

    Hi Grant, the bike is stunning. Love all those mods, exactly what I would have done. I saw the vid when you picked it up and there was only salt dust on the road, so to get that level of corrosion after a short ride home is rubbish. So the last thing that needs to be swapped out is that poxy chain. It would just irritate me to ride the bike knowing that a bit of cheap sub standard kit is letting the bike down. So for the price of a high quality(? Rental or similar) chain, under £100, the whole bike is spot on. Think you’ve got no chance with the original if it starts off like that. You know it makes sense.👍🏻🏍😱

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS
      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  6 лет назад +1

      Good advice mate, will get them to swap it at the service and I’ll provide the new one 👍

  • @CPUspeed
    @CPUspeed 6 лет назад

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS
      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  6 лет назад

      Cheers mate, it’s about making a bike your own, and you will love Evotech, makes R&G look a bit rubbish 😜

    Nice ride bud. I have a 2015 Monster 1200 S Stripe. The stripe comes with lots of carbon parts, but I want to do all the up grades that you have done. So far I haven't changed anything and I love the bike. Thinking of doing the full Termi exhaust, but I know that's quite a few dollars here in Canada. Once again nice ride my friend. Cheers.

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS
      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  6 лет назад +1

      Cheers Don, it does get addictive adding parts to your bike, but that’s what makes it special to you, termi pipes are not cheap but the look and sound amazing 😜

    • @SennaF1GP
      @SennaF1GP 6 лет назад +1

    Absolutely stonking video, great mods, love the organisation of the parts and the walkthrough, a bloke after my own heart the way he looks at the detail. Controversially I'd love to see what the Monster is like with dropped bars, to drop the look from a sit up and beg. I know it's the streatfighter look but I've seen a few streetfighters with slightly dropped bars and it makes a subtle difference. I haven't ridden for 15 years ha so I can't talk, started looking at the Monster having always wanted one (I ended up with an X11 back in the day but always lusted after the Ducati).
    Thanks G-Man this video is literally a shopping list for me. I would buy that exact bike if I could! Cheers.

    Lovely bike & bits. Made me laugh when you mentioned your chain. I have spent loads of time trying to keep my stock chain rust-free, (2017 Monster 1200). Gone through loads of Wurth chain stuff. Only option is to get a better chain. Decent chain about £150. Only regret...not going for the 1200 S. Ohlins worth the price alone. Also stock indicators cheap & nasty, went for the performance ones too.

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS
      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  6 лет назад

      Agree mate, funny thing is the monster chain is a high quality DID chain just seems to rust at any sign of water, maybe a gold DID chain would be better. Any way I only ride the monster in the dry, I use the Africa Twin in shit weather 😜

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS
      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  6 лет назад

    Nice bike. I can totally see where youre coming from with regards to choice...its what you like. Same for me....got a few bikes including a Ducati (Hypermotard 1100 evo sp) but my naked of choice is the gen4 z1000 - owned it for 4 years now and i love it. No plans to change it, if anything itll be getting more updates soon (with a full system and air filter once theyve been mapped and flashed they make nigh on the same as an s1000r). My only gripe with Ducati is their finish (youve had one already) but ive found the coatings are a waste of time (paint peels, bolts corrode, the chain!) 2 years on from owning mine im still getting parts recoated (engine casings have just been done). Front barrel will be coming off soon for the same treatment. Whoever is in charge of fixings and fittins at Ducati either hasnt seen rain or needs firing. Pronto.

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS
      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  6 лет назад

      I know what you mean buddy, lucky for me my Monster will never see any bad weather, I use my Africa Twin everyday and even that is getting messed up even with constant cleaning! Went to Ducati yesterday as a warning light came up on my dash, turned out to be that the Bluetooth module doesn’t like my iPhone 10! And the chain is like new again after I cleaned it but not good it was rusty after just a 5mile ride on dry roads 😳 , cheers, GMAN

    • @comfysofa1549
      @comfysofa1549 6 лет назад

      Heh - yeah - thats my point....even if you keep it garage queen dry itll corrode. Ive had chicken dinners that have lasted longer than some of the bolts....if youre planning on keeping it id suggest changing everything from the ground (literally) upwards with either stainless or Ti. Its definately them (ducati) i also have an old rsv4 factory pre aprc) with 12k on the clock that has faired way way better than the hyper (hyper has 10k and is a year newer). Ive found for coatings Cerakote and Xylan are amazing...literally everything proof. Ive got a project ktm 525 supermoto thats been rebuilt from the ground up and coated in regular powder coat and Xylan and 3 years on from the build it looks like brand new.

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS
      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  6 лет назад

    • @TheGarnerjustin73
      @TheGarnerjustin73 6 лет назад

      G-MAN'S Bikes & Bits Thats a top quality chain, you wouldn't have that rust if you kept a little more chain lube on it. I've always ran the D.I.D. gold plated chains, they're way more resistant to rusting and just look better in general. Honestly, Ek, Rk, or D.I.D. all make great chains.

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS
      @GMANS_BIKES_CARS  6 лет назад

      Cool mate, the chain came from the dealer like that and I just rode home 5 miles, I’ve now cleaned it and lubed it and is like brand new, roll on warmer weather with no more salty roads 👍

  • @Lar308
    @Lar308 6 лет назад

    Impressed. How is it that your warranty is unaffected by all these mods. Here (in Ireland) they will use any excuse to invalidate your warranty and the insurance will do the same to invalidate your insurance. So I done no mods to my 821 over that.
    You should try some acf50 on the hoses. It keeps mine looking like new for a few weeks. Although that mysterious white residue does not appear on mine. Perhaps you should look at them being replaced under warranty as its obviously some fault with the exterior finish. I got a new exhaust fitted to mine under warranty simply because the black paint started flaking off - and similarly the left side engine cover paint finish was starting to bubble - also replaced under warranty.
    Just one other point - the white stripe on the tank might be difficult to fit now unless you remove your existing tank guard. Then I would recommending leaving it off. The white stripe with one of these tank protectors looks terrible.

      G-MAN'S Bikes & Bits. Agree, own a few Ducati’s and will never change my loyalty, but they just get the small things like chains, hoses and some plastics wrong sometimes, especially for such an expensive bit of of kit. But f#*ck they are amazing and no one will ever know what we are on about until they’ve owned and opened the throttle on one. ❤️

    • @GMANS_BIKES_CARS
