Very articulate and grown up review - I appreciated it a lot. I'm almost decided on buying the SP later this year or early next year when dealers drop the prices and when it's the peak of summer here in Australia. I'm watching all Monster/SP videos and yours ranks very high on my personal list. Well done!

Yo at 02:36 is were i practice at night

my bike is configured to have lesser brake force in the rear primarily to prevent lockup... it's just right that it will slow down the bike a bit but not lock it up even if it's fully engaged... i generally engage the rear first before engaging the front for more stopping power if needed... not sure this is right, but that's how i learned to ride my bike...

Following for the Ryan reference and the awesome info.

Dude, What an excellent review of your Monster 937. I’m an old guy (69yo this month) and a lifelong motorcyclist. I’ve been a “twins” rider virtually the entire time. As one ages your needs in a motorcycle change. I’m not as strong as I once was, and I’m shrinking! I have been 5’-8” tall my whole life; last time I was measured I had lost 2”! WTF?!? For a short guy this is a harsh reality let me tell you. As a general rule older guys want/need lighter and lower motorcycles, ask any old guy that rides a “bagger” of any brand. Anyway, I’m searching for a new motorcycle, a bike lighter and lower than the bike I have now (a 2004 1st generation Ducati Multistrada 1000 DS that I bought new and have loved for 20 yrs.). Your evaluation of the 937 Monster confirms what I have surmised from careful review of the bike’s specs, various test rides, and my own speculation after 43 years riding Ducatis. The 937 Monster is a light, fast, torguey twin with excellent handling and fabulous brakes, just like you say. This is what I liked in my motorcycles throughout my 56 years riding; however now I need the “light and low” if I am going to continue riding. Thanks for the great review! My next motorcycle is going to be a Monster 937.

Great review!

Deer jerky? That was a lucky break!

Seen this happen south of Mt. St helens. The deer was prego and there was 3 dead calfs. Didn't know white tale deer could have so many babies at once.

Keep it short. No time to watch lengthy videos. If you care about your channel, of course

Great information 😊

Proper gear saved his life!

Great review, I'm in the position of deciding between one of these and the MT-09, and am now leaning towards the M937, thanks

Not scary it just wears me out.

What about Forged Aluminum Wheels like OZ or Titax? They have wheel sets that fit the Monster Plus. I am considering buying. They are lighter than the factory cast wheels that come with the Monster.

What about sticking to the fuel tank? As a begginer it felt really good as far of wind gusts.

oh deer god😅

Thank you for the video. I had the misfortune of hitting a moose at around 80kmh (around 50mph). I flew over the handlebars in a very similar fashion as your friend, but just like him my gear saved me. Please use a full face helmet and wear good quality gear with knee, elbow, shoulder and back protectors. I need some time to get my bike fixed, but I will also get an airbag vest once I get back on the road. The gear we have these days is amazing and feeling hot is a small price to pay for walking away from a crash.

Awesome video. On my second ride on the roads at all (I had quite a lot of parking lot practice, but very little road experience), the weather channel said there would be storms the following day, but on the road this day, the wind patterns were already kicking up. What I was getting on the main 55 mph road were probably 40 to 55 mph gusts as crosswinds which I was too new to deal with, so I decided to reroute onto back roads. This had two effects, one the back roads cut in an around hills which cut some of them wind away, but also the back roads sometimes ran north to south and sometimes east to west on almost an entirely twisty set of roads. This meant that most of the time the prevailing winds were not acting as crosswinds, but either as headwinds or tailwinds which are much easier to deal with, though I will say the first time you get hit with a sudden major tailwind, it is very disconcerting. It's a little bit like being on a magic carpet ride.

Great info 👍

Is this good for 2 up riding ?

Nice, Fuji shooter there 😊

Great review. Would have appreciated engine noise during the riding.

If my riding companion kept pulling away from me, I wouldn't blame my bike, or myself... I would blame him for being an asshole & knowingly trying to push me beyond my ability! In fact, I may stop and wait for him to wonder what happened to me, and come back looking for me, and when He gets back, I'll tell him he's an asshole and I'm going Home!

Great review, how is it on the highway compare to the indian scout in terms of stability, especially in high winds days ? Thanks in advance

I could go on and on about how great this video is, but most of it has been said already. Great video, thanks for making it, you gained another subscriber because of it!

Heard someone mention this on PKA. That's wild.

No regard for your LIFE! Put it to me straight man, don't hold back.

Regarding all upgrades cost (except exhaust ones), i feel like a monster sp isn’t that overpriced for your use? Right? I mean olhins setup, steering damper (sure its stock one and not the 500$ one but could be enought to correct the slight need). Sure it come with termi muffler that are useless on decat, but it could be sold to pay for decat and new muffler + flash. So it leaves only a tailtidy. Mirors. And grips. Thats fair.

Man you do, quite a good job, on your videos... but, looks like you need a bite more energy on your speetch... I think you're to tight. This is anytime,to take a piss, of you...😅 But... take 1 shot o tequila, and do a pilot, and check on the camera... if... isn't there yet... take 2...😅 No-one can figure out, though, and you'll be a born star...🤩🍻

And electronic one

The best advice must surely be to go out and find out in an empty parking lot etc what works best for you on your bike

Wow!! That was SO SCARY! I'm proud of you all for wearing FULL GEAR!! That's what you HAVE TO DO when you ride motorcycles! 😊

The new IMU ABS systems spparently mix the F/B brakes for you. At some point a motorcycle will have only one brake input like a car.

They are equally bad. With Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD) you don't even know that there is and it does it's job perfectly.

How is it on touring multi day trips?

2yrs ago today I know the feeling, every doctor I see to this day say I'm a miracle and yes I did fix my totalled Harley and still do ride but 2 yrs ago today I hit a deer on my way to work I'm pretty sure I was doing probably 90 on back road and only shorts sneakers and t shirt on and unfortunately no helmet, I ended up about about 100ft in the yard where the deer was in the road I was in the hospital for 4 months and unfortunately don't remember none of that at all and now I do where a full face helmet and do love to ride

just do whatever works for you as a rider and makes u feel most comfy

Very good information. I've been rear-ended twice and since then I've learned to always check my rearview mirrors. It's always good to ride on the corner of the vehicle ahead of you. That way you not only have an exit route but you can see ahead.

The death grip lol I need to drive In Wind more for more experience

Yah that gear is not what prevented him from getting broken bones.

Ride like an id10t slide like an id10t.

I just bought my brothers bike back after his girlfriend sold his bike before he passed away it’s been 5 long years the GPR is sun faded hopefully still works currently trying to figure out how to remove the gas tank though

This was the most helpful and indepth video Ive seen on this topic. Thank you!

Getting my butt kicked in Wyoming during a wind advisory. Sign above the interstate says 70 mph gusts, I threw in the towel and got a nap and some dinner.

Great advice. I live in a valley thats nearly perpetually windy. Its been a challenge, especially being a new rider.

What ECU tube did you get?

If you have a current model bike with ABS, the application of rear brakes will never cause the rear to skid. Proper braking technique include using both front and rear brakes. However statements like bikes with significant weight on the rear should mainly use their rear brakes are totally wrong. No matter how your weight is distributed, the weight is transferred forward under braking and use of the front brake will always shorten braking distance. The only possible exception are choppers with extremely stretched out front forks and tiny tires. There the weight transfer is less, partly because the puny front tire can't generate much braking force. In that event the braking distance will be longer than on a standard bike. My bike has semi-linked front and rear brakes. Application of the front brake leaver puts some force on the rear brake, but applying the rear brake only affects the rear brakes . I have ABS so the rear brakes will never lock if I'm applying the front brakes very hard. The comment MotoGP bikes have a rear brake leaver on their left handlebar is something I've never heard of and I see as questionable. There's already a clutch leaver there, and I've never seen a MotoGP bike with two levers on the left... Why would they need a lever there when they already have a rear brake foot lever...???

Here in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area, the level of aggression, excessive speeding, tailgating, poor pavement conditions, impaired and distracted drivers, and all manner of debris makes freeway riding a lose-lose proposition. There is absolutely nothing to be gained by it.

One can use the ear plugs to avoid that heavy wind noise propelled through the helmet. At time that constant wind noise make one tired and intruding your focus on the machine n surroundings.
