Great comprehensive review and really nicely produced and presented - looks like the Monster is back! ...by the way who would possibly pay more for a Ducati in Grey?? There should be a Euro 4 ruling that says they have to be red I reckon....
Normally I'd agree, but currently I ride a black Monster S2R and I really think that grey looks astonishing. At least you didn't do the unthinkable and buy a white Panigale ;)
I just picked up a 2017 1200 S yesterday and I'm loving it. I was torn between this and the Super Duke R and this completely won me over, so refined and a joy to ride!
This review was a joy to watch and hear. Articulate, intelligent and objective but enthusiastic, a lot of other reviewers should take a leaf out of your book sir!
I agree. However, plan on waiting 3 MONTHS between those podcasts!! That said, I will forgive them if this is what we get in between. Yes, I know podcasting is a hobby & not his job.
The only negative I can think of with the quick shift if you use it all time. When that situation you need to step on the brake in panic . You may be not find the clutch again as fast as you should/would.
Hey Bike World, change the title so there is a space between 1200 and S. When searching youtube for Ducati Monster 1200, your video doesn't appear. Which is a shame because it's a good video!
how is the 17 S compared to the 16 R? I ask because I have ordered the 17 S ) I traded my 16 Tuono Factory) and should be taking delivery later this month (even though I won't be able to ride it until after the snow clears). I'm fairly certain I've watched every review of the 17 S and your review is #1 with no other review anywhere close in quality and substance. As always, you guys did an amazing job. Thanks again
Really liking, may need to visit dealer & checkout the size. My 2008 GT1,000 is a hoot with 40k miles & no issues lower gearing allows up to 50 mph wheelies depending on road & clutchless shifting due to quality.
Samuel Wicks , u maybe right buddy, I always think I want a double quick shifter but actually I think it would take some fun away from the bike and I love rev matching on the down change, my 959 also has the lightest slipper clutch ever and it has a quick shifter for the up changes, cheers, GMAN
Can't understand the constant cribs about the foot pegs. Every rider on You Tube reviews must have ostrich like feet. I feel totally at home and relaxed on my 821.
good bike ,the price way too high ,motorbikes should not exceed US$12000.00 above that means you can buy a car with couple more thousands,cause most of the bikes are comfortable for riders only not for the back seat person

Excellent review! Clear, coherent and concise with some great roads and wheelies!!! Enjoyed every minute.
That's a great review fella, nice job, very impartial. I love the monster, a little pricey perhaps but very nice.
love love love that bike. not as bulky as a superduke, not a racy as a tuono. great review.
Nice review; enthusiasm with objectivity, and some great footage. Well played Sir!
I really like the reviewer. Well spoken, nice job.

Good presenter. He's a keeper 👍🏻
Amazing bike!

Great Review, this cat needs to do more of them for Bike World.
great review guys, would love to see some POV shots and hear live commentary as you're riding. Just a thought tho. Good stuff, keep it up.

Perfect review / reviewer. Thx for your efforts
great review :)
Best review. Ever.
great presenter and a very nice detailed review :)
Awesome review! You do look normal / slightly on the larger side riding it at 5'9". I'm sure I'll look funny at 6'3"!
Superb review - thank you.
That quick shifter is the future.
How about heat🔥 that the monsters gives out?
Szuper motorcycle 👍🇮🇹💪🏍️😎
Is the tank made of metal r plastic??
So I'm gonna say you liked it?
I Really want one of these Monsters!!! There such sexy Bikes and sound so nice!!
THIS OR THE TUONO? ANYONE WHO GOT THE LUXURY AND EXPERIENCE PLEASE ANSWER. THANK YOU!
Great review, wish I had that up
And down quick shifter on my 959 😜
G-MAN'S BIKES & BITS can't you get an aftermarket up and down? They should be able to programme it to work

Anyone know the handlebar width?
I heard they have electrical probs and a lot of false nutrals
love me some mufga!
quickshifter would be great in traffic
Damn....heel touching the exhaust is why I didnt buy this, great bike, but why couldn't they fix this?

It's no longer a monster
