- JOIN THE 2021 DUCATI MONSTER LAUNCH WITH ME - FIRST RIDE REVIEW
Two weeks ago I was shipped out to San Francisco by Ducati USA for the launch of their brand new 2021 Monster! The bike has so many amazing innovations, but still has that iconic fun factor and naked look of the original Monster. It was such a joy to ride the Pacific Coast Highway and urban San Fran with a bunch of amazing women. Stay tuned for a part 2 where I get into more of my experience in California for the event.

The smiles you have when talking about the Ducati Monster just says a lot about the bike.
The enthusiasm and joy shines through.
Please don't ever change.
Thank you Alan, that's so damn sweet!
Nicely done! Over a year and 7k miles later, still loving mine 😎 Your enthusiasm and excitement for riding is infectious and you're a natural beauty too 😊
I like that you always have good honest content, and for me, it's very interesting to hear the female view of bikes and biking. Thank you Meghan!!!
Thank you Tom! 😀
I found your channel about 8 months ago and I really enjoy your videos thank you for all the time and effort you put into them
Seen quite a few reviews of this bike, this is the first one where I find myself smiling a lot, you're so cool🤘
Aw I'm so glad! Not too technical, just the fun stuff! ☺
Man, they took you through a good portion of the hills in the city! That's awesome! Even being born and raised in SF, it's not always the smoothest ride up/down the hills, but it's still fun! Glad you enjoyed the test ride and SF!
Wow what a fun video!! This totally wants me to go to SF and ride there! Greetings from Finland!😃
Great to see a visitor enjoy roads I take for granted.
Did you just name drop Venom? Nice. Definitely looked like a great ride around the city. Great day, great area, new ride, and lots of cool people with you. Does it get any better? Thanks for sharing.
It really doesn't get much better than this!
For some reason the attachment of your camera to your helmet reminds me of Bane's mask 😅😊
Oooh, more Tom Hardy! lol. That's quite a cool vibe.
No one knew who I was till I put on the mask
Thanks so much for watching everyone! If you want more info on the bike or on the gear I use to film my videos, check out the description. Don't forget to like the video if you enjoyed it, subscribe, and share! There'll also be a part two to this adventure, you won't want to miss it. Follow me on Instagram to see what's up between uploads: instagram.com/starknakked
Really enjoyed the videos keep them coming
@@Frecklesboy Thanks Karl! I've got a lot of new ones on the way
@@MeghanStark good good can’t wait
Your audio sounds so crispy! Long way coming from the wired headphones mic you used to use! Haha. May I ask your mic set up? I could see you're not using the gopro mic adapter. Or are you? 🤔
Haha you'll die when you see how much I spent to get this good audio: amzn.to/3403J8S
I do plan to do a follow-up video in the future about my new setup and the settings I use. It really sounds amazing now.
friend of mine has a 92 monster and seeing new iterations of old classics sure has me hyped up. :) great ride.
I always enjoy your videos, thanks!!!
What was with the police escort? That's so cool!! 😀
Meghan
Great review lady! A friend of mine was at our Sunday coffee hangout last weekend with his new Monster. He loves it! It's great to see you back on a bike! Keep making these videos!
Ride SAFE and BE safe Meghan!
🙌👏👌🤙🖖✌👍👋🙂🌹
Two thumbs up! Thanks for the review!
It felt like you were riding something special as you sounded so amped up even though it was just a ride in traffic in the city. If it was me I would be complaining about the engine heat while riding my monster through town. Great video, looking forward to see more content from your channel.
Looked like a great experience: the bike, the place. You're so fortunate and I'm appropriately jealous.😊
Subbed for support! Seems you really enjoyed the ride too! I'm not the biggest Ducati fan out there, but they sure are good looking and heard real nice to ride! Good job!
First time subscriber here! Loved your video and more videos to come! Ride safe always🤗🙏🏻♥️
Really loved your first ride review of this monster. I am a bit perplexed though didn't you make a video not a month back saying you didn't want to make moto videos anymore? Or did I misunderstand that whole video? FYI I'm happy you're still making moto videos don't get me wrong it was just strange to see you do a first ride when I thought you said you didn't like the moto content anymore.
Ok Meghan, you’ve convinced me to subscribe. Larry in Fort Worth
Wow that road looked fun riding the roller coaster 🏍️👍 That Ducati Monster looks like it had heaps of go & could take off 🚀. Great riding with the San Fran bridge in view. Nice riding by the water in the city & by the ocean later. The police escort was cool 😎 Great still pics. Excellent video 🎥👍
I like that "one" jacket of your compatriot, great getting out, great vidi!
Thank you Mike! Yeah we had a stylish batch of gals for this ride for sure. You're probably looking at Red Spade 👍
How was the experience riding up and down the famed Lombard Street..?
As a Monster rider, I am a bit perturb about the lack of trellis frame. It does look like a more refined version of a Yamaha MT-07, and way sexier. I might be in the market for a new one, and this one could very well be it.
…
Great video!! Take me back. 😅🤘
Oh man. I can't wait to ride this baby and make a review and/or buy it.
A group of bright red Ducatis seems like a real attention-getter on city streets (especially with pony tails on display). I have no experience with quick-shifters; can they be used *continuously* without excessive wear-and-tear on the trans? Thanks for taking us on the picturesque ride, Meghan.
That's a good question! Definitely worth asking. Wonder if my engineer friend Nerissa would have a good answer to that. Thanks for watching Ken!
Is part two coming coming up soon?. Can't wait!..😊🇮🇳
It will be! I'm not sure when but I'm eager to get it finished, it's so fun
Great video! :)
Thanks so much for tuning in!
@@MeghanStark happy to! Sorry I miss a lot of your premiers, my schedule has been all over the place this Spring! 😅 PS I really enjoy how your channel isn’t just the motorcycle stuff but your brand as well!
mooi video met meghan stark heel goed motor
Your voice throughout says it all 😊
Very cool experience you had
It really was! Can't wait to share more from this trip
@@MeghanStark How many days were you out there?
Thanks for the journey
Man down town traffic lights are brutal
Yeah we were really stuck for a while! Thanks for watching 😊
Cool bike
Nice video Meghan, I use to have a 1982 900 SD Darmah
Great video, just one question What is the name of your helmet girl ?
Your audio while on the bike sounds really good 👍 did you do anything different?
Thank you, it's been an investment! For most of my recent motovlogs I've been using this lapel mic: amzn.to/3403J8S
@@MeghanStark cool 😎 thanks for sharing!
@@MeghanStark how do you set it up to avoid wind noise?
Hey young lady, cool video on a DoooCaaaaRi 🇮🇹 In sunny California 😎 I am in Florida Riding my 2019 CB1000-R. Planning to Visit Cali in April. Are you all staunch Ducatistas ?! I mean is Honda welcome around you ? 😟
Very lovely personalized review from a girl’s perspective, of a Ducati family new bike
I enjoyed this video, stay safe
dry hard weight 366lb. Wet weight fully juiced 414lbs. = Very sexy bike.
"I feel at one with this bike." I sense a 2nd Duck in Megan's garage is in the future.
love your videos. Looking to purchase my first bike. Im between the ducati monster and scrambler nightshift. Being that you own the scrambler and rode the monster, which would you pick? Like the idea of growing with the monster thanks to all the electronics
Between the Nightshift and the Monster, I'd say the Monster! The modes are a really excellent distinguishing feature. I do like the Nightshift and the whole Scrambler lineup, but I feel like there are quite a few little cosmetic things worth revising on that one.
ah such a cool opportunity, that was also nice how they gave you guys a police escort lol
does anyone know what helmet she’s wearing is? The link in the description doesn’t work.
Oh sorry about that, I'll update it! It's the Icon Airflite 👍
Did you feel the engine got overly hot while at lights?
Not all! Granted the weather was nice and mild (low 70s in the mid-morning), but this bike is liquid cooled so it didn't get hot at all for me at lights. My scrambler definitely gets super hot in the summer
@@MeghanStark okay good to know. Thanks for responding :)
바이크 부럽네요. 그리고 한산하고 날씨좋고 바이크 타기 좋은 환경 입니다. 서울은 복잡하여서
How awesome do you Gals look on those Ducati’s, you need to get together and do a competitors review
How tall are you ? Can you flat foot it?
입문자가 타도 될지요?
Nice bike, but how was the coffee?
👍
do you wanna get this Ducati Monster as second bike,miss Meghan?
did you just say spread ? 🤸
is the engine as hot as the old monster?
The 2021's are liquid cooled, so they feel way less hot while stationary. I didn't notice the heat at all, while on my Scrambler it can be brutal on days over 80 degrees F
whats up with the police escort?
It was an official press day with Ducati, so we got escorted around for the downtown portion!
🤘😘
That bike is so sexy and sounds really good too
You're switching gears way too early.
Vai a pulire casa,la moto non fa per te🤷♂️
not a monster anymore
