Very high quality content. Not just emotions, but real facts about the use in life. They showed how comfortable it would be for the second passenger, explained in an accessible way what is and is not worth getting from the option. Described the character of the bike well. One of the best reviews.
Half the people commenting "This is not a true monster anymore" probably don't even have a Ducati dealership in their city let alone own one and know what a monster is. I owned the aircooled 696 and although it was a really good bike i think it could definitely use some modern refinements. I would take 18 kilo of weight saving over a dated trellis frame any day of the week! great review.
Thx a lot for the thorough review! I must say I‘m super impressed by (and envy) your mastery of the English language - having watched the German and English version of the video I had the impression that you feel even more confident in English than in German. Awesome!
@@ridenroll.juliane hi what's your inseam? My inseam is 30 inches for 5 foot 3 height With standard seat, stock suspension And Daytona lady star boots, will this be comfortable fit for me?
Good review! You covered it all really in my mind. And great English laguage ... As a Swede that lives in the United States, I gotta say. It is. Something many "Germanic laguage speakers" do not succeed in as well as you did , impressed ... ... As a 2018 Monster 821 rider myself. I do not mind the new Monster at all. Do I love my 821. Yess , absolutely. But I do not mind evolution and progress either. They really stick to the original concept fun , light, naked and accessible with the New Monster. Using current technology. And I hope it will be successful. I might look in to one, but I will still keep my 821 still though lol ... ;-)
Excellent review , informed me of everything I wanted to know in a straight forward manner ( no stupid jokes or comments , so refreshing ) very impressed with your style. P.S. I didn't even realize at first that English isn't your first language , well done.
Horrific. Could be any UJM. Without firing it up, we would'nt even know what sort of motor is in there underneath all the plastic. And no trellis frame? WTF? Worst Monster comfortably ever made. Heads will roll with this sales disaster. What an abortion.
Nice and complete review, as always. Congrats. I only wished you talked more about how it rides and feels. I am also 100% with you on this "bluetooth connectivity" stuff. What is all this? Are we talking about a motorcycle or a new labtop computer?
Volkswagen Group ruining the brand. From a head-turning exotic to a mass-produced sensible bike. My 1993 M900 is ten times more beautiful than this ugly assembly of plastic junk.
You'd rather want it to decay like Harley-Davidson? It's an iconic brand but they should move on. Otherwise they risk to end up with an outdated machine that everybody kinda like but nobody's going to buy (except a few desperate fellas).
@@asmforce apples and oranges, harley stuck to one image, not just one model but brand overall, cant say same with ducati, v4 penegale and streetfighter.. apples and oranges, one thing you dont do is destroy what makes that model unique, its stance its character, ducati done this to monster same as bmw to s1000r, new one, looks awful.
Thanks, Juliane. Excellent review...you covered the points that I want to hear about as an every day rider. Now it's between this and the Tuono 660! The Tuono looks fantastic, too, but I'm thinking my 5'11" and 215 lb. frame might fit on the Monster better.
Well shot and edited. Enjoyed your no-nonsense approach to this review. Crisp and to the point, with a slight hint of humor... Liked and Subscribed from India.
Great review, thanks. I love almost everything about the new Monster (Loved the old one too). I can't wait for it to come stateside. Also, for those hung up on looks, although I like them, you can't see it as you lean into a corner :). Ride Well!
@@joachimzhao8993 Hi i think that if u like 2cyl bikes you will fall in love with it, plus i think it is one of the best looker in its class.As for riding, it s really easy the quickshift is smooth the breaks and abs are fenomenal and u have modes to choose. I rode it in touring mode right away and its not scary but you have urban mode with lower power and throthle response to build up your confidence.
@@milangrujoski2012 thank you for the response. I want to buy the new monster because of its appearance, really like it. I like rs 660 too, hard to decide!
I am considering buying the Aviator Gray Plus model. 821 dark stealth was on my list. Forty pounds of weight savings is something to consider. I own a cruiser and a cafe racer, so this Ducati for me would be to ride the canyons and the twistys. Take care, ride safe.
This is the first road test I have seen of this, so congratulations on the scoop! Great review and it seems to be a great bike. But it does not have those head turning good looks of the other iterations of the Monster, so I wont be trading in my 821. But I have to say I love that front light!
Hi Juliane. Great review and scoop with this bike [the first I've seen on RUclips]. Great that you do it in English so that many people around the world can listen to you [I am English and appreciate your time and effort]. I am looking at this machine as a possible purchase. This class has become the most competitive in recent times with some great models to choose from [Triumph 765 Street Triple R and RS, KTM Duke 890 and 890R, MT09, kawasaki Z900 etc]. Does this bike have a fuel gauge? And do the mirrors work ok [do they vibrate and so blur the image]? I have not seen you before here on RUclips but will definitely tune in and watch more of your bike reviews. Take care and ride safe.
I've got a review scheduled in May I believe. Been really looking forward to this bike, thanks for the great intro review. Super excited to get on this bike, and hopefully one in the garage too.
I am glad I get to watch other people ride these expensive bikes I am too cheap to buy, because if I got myself on one I might not want to give it back.
Great review! Thank you! You are so knowledgeable on the bikes you review and you convey it very well. You're a pleasure to watch. You talk to the camera like its a friend. Im now subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your work. 🙂
Another great video, Juliane. Thanks for giving us so much information about the new Monster. I really think the new Monster is a great bike, but i i‘m so dissapointed about the Sound of new bikes in general. That‘s a problem of the european regulations. Without an aftermarket exhaust, i would miss some „Monster-Feeling“ on that bike. Stay and ride safe!
Great review of this bike. How comfortable is the bike for long distances and do you think this bike is a all arounder? Is it a day to day bike or just weekend? I owned a Ducati before and felt a need to change the exhaust which became costly do you think this bike is good with stock exhausts etc? What would you modify? Thanks
Great vid as always lots of info and good camera work, could you add a section at the end maybe of your riding gear as it would be good to know. 👍🏻😁 keep it up you’re doing great stuff in these strange times. 👍🏻
I am hesitating a bit between the Monster and Night Shift for my son (21 years old) who is a new rider I checked the Desert Sled as he likes off road riding as well but it is too big for him. Thank you for your response.
after seeing your ps review i was kinda hoping for one in English, since my German isn't that good, as a dutchy i only got the geil part of that review so i'm happy you shared this with us.
Hello Juliane; I am looking for new jacket and pants, your stuff looks really nice. I was looking at Mia-Jacket on the website of Sands, and asked myself, if the hoodie is removable or not? I am 1,63m could recommend a size as well? What brand is the pant? It would be very nice to get an answer on this. Kind regards from Beate.
Hi Beate, yes, the hoodie is removable. I take it out when it’s warm. I wear size 6 (S) and for the pants as well. The pants are also by Roland Sands Design and called "Julien". Best, Juliane
How many hours labor in the book to do the valves now they have switched to the panigale style? It makes owning a panigale pretty expensive compared to so many other bikes out there.
Nice bike & review. Very comprehensive. The only thing I don't like about this bike is the lack of adjustable suspension which seems strange as the rest of the bikes seems quite premium.
Very good ride review. This the first I've seen. Can you please give a little more description of the difference in riding experience between this model and the 821? And if you've ridden the KTM Duke 790/890 those too. I'm specifically interested in suspension compliance differences, as well as handling dynamics -- agility vs stability, etc. And any other differences you can think of that didn't make it into the video. Thank you!
Great review - thank you! I am really interested in this bike. As a street bike (not for track), how do you think it compares to the new Trident and Tuono 660?
Good Review .. You cover the weight seat height price ect.. Ducati now offers some more affordable Models.. I think the Yamaha MT-09 offers a bit more for a lower price but the Ducati is very light too .. It seems competition is upping the bar.. I like the adjustable seat height.. Yes a V-Twin motorcyle can be narrower..
Good morning cutty !!😘 never had a Ducati monster,, remember trying one , a 900ss years ago, what a pain and crap mostly the gear box, my man, left it on the side of the road, got on a bus and went back to the leadership saying that it would refuse to start up. Got on my cbr fireblade and enjoyed the rest of my day with butter smooth gear box !!😊 Other than that, I prefer yourself Julianne than this red thing 😉 ! If I had to go with a naked bike, it would be KTM 890 Duke and you of course ;-) Cheers from Switzerland 🇨🇭🇨🇭🍫🍫
I had a BMW with Bluetooth connectivity, it’s extremely useful for navigation and the phone app can log your trips with many data like, speed, engine rpm, abs usage, etc… Every new bike should have that option.
A very informative review thanks. i wondered what the heat is like as after 2 years on a Ducati Scrambler in warmi-ish weather it is one thing that is making me want to move to water cooled bikes from other brands. Thanks Brian, Menton, France
I actually would have wished for some more heat development cause it was so cold! :-D Just kidding, but there was really no heat build noticeable like with other models before
You are the first person to do a comprehensive, English speaking review of this bike, thanks. Good job!
Time to learn at least two languages 😎
Jajaja I think the same..
Very high quality content. Not just emotions, but real facts about the use in life. They showed how comfortable it would be for the second passenger, explained in an accessible way what is and is not worth getting from the option. Described the character of the bike well.
One of the best reviews.
It is always great that you test passenger position. No one else really does that. Nice video
Half the people commenting "This is not a true monster anymore" probably don't even have a Ducati dealership in their city let alone own one and know what a monster is. I owned the aircooled 696 and although it was a really good bike i think it could definitely use some modern refinements. I would take 18 kilo of weight saving over a dated trellis frame any day of the week! great review.
Bingo. Keyboard heros at its finest. Technology and products advance or get left behind. I'm picking up a 23 Monster Plus Friday. Can't wait.
Thx a lot for the thorough review! I must say I‘m super impressed by (and envy) your mastery of the English language - having watched the German and English version of the video I had the impression that you feel even more confident in English than in German. Awesome!
I love your reviews, they're always very detailed including info about the ergos (which many journalists fail to mention). Keep up the great work!
Been waiting for this review! First New Monster review I've seen. I like the looks/weight/tech. Useful info! Thanks!
You like the looks? Of the bike or?😂

Not surprised.....English is a Germanic language.
Thank you, you are a pleasure to listen to and watch. :-)
Glad to see that the new Monster isn't such an italian diva, had some experience with the 696 ten years ago. Every ride was like a little fight 😂
Ordered the red one. Thanks for the review with this one . Looking forward to it.
Excellent review , informed me of everything I wanted to know in a straight forward manner ( no stupid jokes or comments , so refreshing ) very impressed with your style. P.S. I didn't even realize at first that English isn't your first language , well done.
Great review; helped me very much as I am seriously considering this bike when they arrive to the U.S.
Horrific.
Could be any UJM.
Without firing it up, we would'nt even know what sort of motor is in there underneath all the plastic.
And no trellis frame?
WTF?
Worst Monster comfortably ever made.
Heads will roll with this sales disaster.
What an abortion.
@@michaelhayward7572 says a guy who didn't ride it lol. this bike is amazing bro

Looks like suzuki sv650 brutus
@@tadaseigerdas8040 It does look japanese. I can see the resemblance with the sv650 brutus (tank etc), but even that has a better looking frame.

Wow the best Review ever or the Ducal Monster . I am planning to buy one and am almost sold . Very well done Thank you
First review I’ve watched. You’re terrific. Well done. Cheers from Australia
Great review. I also love how you quote Aussie dollar pricing too! Keep up the good work
I love my monster 1200. It sounds awesome when it pops and crackles on down shifts.
Thanks, Juliane. Excellent review...you covered the points that I want to hear about as an every day rider. Now it's between this and the Tuono 660! The Tuono looks fantastic, too, but I'm thinking my 5'11" and 215 lb. frame might fit on the Monster better.
I can’t explain how impressed I am with your reviews. I subscribed immediately, I also had my 3 daughters suscribe. Great job Great channel

Info I was looking for. Awesome bike, great review

Beauty and the Monster. Perfect combination. Love from India 🇮🇳 as always...
Thanks for this complete review ! Great !
Great informative video. The included comparison experienced with the 821 makes this very valuable to watch.

Beautiful!!! 😍 and also the bike! Good review! 👍
I think this is my favourite ducati ever and come to see this beauty from you first 🙂

If you could only have one bike, in terms of comuting, having fun and taking longer trips - would you choose it?
My two cents- Triumph Tiger.
Hayabusa

@@brybry8276 he is Right

Or Yamaha. They can’t copy reliability though.
nope

How does the new monster compare to the KTM 890 Duke as far as control or ride feel? I am on the fence between the two.
skip the duke and get the 690 smc supermoto 👍
Does it cook your leg as was the case with the previous Monster?
