- Lara personally owns a Ducati Supersport, so she wanted to know how that engine performs in the new Monster 950. She took it to her favourite roads, on tack at Silverstone and for a Birmingham City centre ride.

Excellent vid. More real world ride reviews with Lara - great presenter 👍
Completely agree 👍🏻👍🏻
More coming soon!
XD love the line about getting nails done and shopping. Variety is lovely.
LaraMoto is such a rad addition.
@@danny100d bit cringe.
@@danny100d I'm sure she's excited you said that.
Lara is a breath of fresh air. Well done and well said. Great reviewer with real world feel. More please.
Brilliant and engaging review. The videography is great, especially in that beautiful countryside, and I really like the way you covered riding the bike in multiple scenarios (including railing the corners on track). It’s a lot of fun watching talented riders on 600’s cut through liter bike traffic like a knife through butter. Yes, the liter bikes leave the lower displacement bikes behind on the straights, but anyone can twist the throttle while traveling down a straight. The challenge is in the cornering, and that Monster looked right at home. I hope Ducati UK tosses Lara the keys to that SP for a follow-up video review.
I bought one of these last summer and it’s a great wee twin. I used to have a SuperDuke so it’s certainly down on power but I love that I can use ALL of it on the road. Totally agree with your (excellent) review !
Woah, one of the best bike reviews I’ve seen. Useful, factual information, combined with an obvious passion for your subject!
I’m currently completing a restoration of a first generation Monster, and felt inspired to get the job done!,
Thanks Lara..
Thanks, we’ll pass the feedback on.
This is a superbly thorough review. More of these from Lara, please!
WOW! She’s a really good reviewer. More, please.
She’s my new favorite motorcycle reviewer. Excellent explanations with great riding skills to go along with it. Nice work
Holy shit ... That was awesome ... She rides aggressive
You should see her race!
If I'm not wrong, this Ducati Monster 950 is the bike of the year in 2021. I read it in some UK motorcycle magazine.
Bike World doing a fantastic job as always. This beautiful woman Lara, is like Chris but female. Which is all we really need.
Thanks for the honest review.
Before September 25th 2022, I'd never ridden a motorbike in my life, I did my CBT, bought a 125 Duke whilst I trained for the full test, did the theory, then mod 1 & 2 and picked up my brand new Monster on 18th November, I absolutely love it, although I have set to Urban mode while I gain more skill and confidence.
Real world review - need to see more of LaraMoto doing reviews please
More coming, she has here first launch trip coming up in Feb.
A great review Lara. Thank you. You and Kris do make a great team. 👍😎🇦🇺
Love this review Lara...brilliant! After almost 16 months and 7700 miles on mine, I'd call that mid-range air box sound a cross between a "growl" and a "snort" ...absolute awesomeness. Throw a simple slip-on (Mivv X-M5 for me), and it REALLY opens her up.
Great review, sounds like a huge thumbs up! Lovely roads too.... thanks
I LOVED all the bits about the ergos. Feet in the right place, knees in the right place. 👌
Awesome review as always Lara! It’s great to see you having fun around the Peak District and riding it hard but sensibly. A very honest real life review. Great videography too. Keep up the great work! 😁👊
Great review! Thx!
Love you Lara, great energy and presentation and a really informative and practical review - hope to see lots more of you 🤘
Lara is a great addition to Bike World, looking forward to more vids 👍👍
Awesome review! Thanks Lara and team
brilliant stuff Lara.!! really chilled style, enthusiastic charming knowledgable skilful. great vid keep it up.
Love the energy of this review. Well done!
Excellent all round review, thank you! We’re all looking forward to the SP review now! 😊
Excellent vid and review. Well done with just the right level of detail. Great looking machine, and I also have a soft spot for large twin engines.
Great review. Keep the Lara content coming.
Loved this! Lara is a great presenter and very much of the same kind as Chris is (are you siblings?). Also, very comprehensive video! Such 'living with...' are most interesting to most I reckon. Thanks a million and best of luck!
Watched this review on the telly. Afterwards sprinted to my ipad just to say, that has been a joy listing to you! Great, great review!
Thank you so much!!
I bought the Multi V2S with same engine as I like long trips and I’m old, love it too….especially the howl.
Great review and loved her energy and riding style! Well done!
Lara is great excellent review
Well done. Great review with your perspectives.
Great riding and review.
Great review, awesome rider 👍
Great review. Nice to see my local roads too. The new Monster looks are growing on me though, albeit slowly...
I think it looks really good. Greatriding and review, Lara.
Excellent review, Laramoto brings another excellent vibe to the channel. Keep it up 🙌
Fantastic stretch of road always puts a smile on my face 😊
What's its like for coppers
@@jack14kd not to bad because of the average 50mph speed cameras.
About the same for me and my riding mate, an hour there either side so both love that road, less so when the cops are up there, and I really wish they'd do a better job at dealing with the potholes. Love the review, you've been a great addition to the team! Really wish you would do a review on the Hypermotard
Fantastic review, love your positive energy and motorcycle knowledge. I think the SP version may be the model to buy.
Eyyy laramoto! Good to see you on bike world
Excellent review. Very informative.
Fantastic, informative and well presented review from a girl who knows what she’s talking about - thank you 👍
Wow, what a great moto journalist she is.
The young lady does a great review.
Great review! 👍
Bike looks lke a great fit for her
Very good content in general, cheers!
Lara is totally ace.
Great review!
Glad to see that Lara is a knowledgeable, skilled, and genuine motorcycle rider.
(Isn't it interesting how long time riders can always, almost immediately, discern between genuine riders and pseudo riders as soon as they start speaking about riding?)
Nice review
Awesome review and I share your passion for the SP
She is amazing. Best reviewer ever. More reviews from her please.
Great comprehensive stuff. Hopefully we’ll get the SP review from you next year. Cheers 👍🤪🇨🇦
Hope so!
Great presenter and great review 👍
LaraMoto in da house!
A great fun bike but I had to out a Ohlins steering damper on mine because there was too much head wobble as you say on windy days on motorways or when passing large trucks. Now the bike is just perfect and supremely stable in all those conditions.
Very talented rider and reviewer!
Great review, thank you. What model (modular) helmet are you wearing here?
Fantastic wholistic review. Great to see
Great review!
Question, though: those Sidi Adventure boots work with 'normal' (ie. not adventure/dirt bike) rear-sets???
Thanks! They felt fine on the monster tbh 💪
Lara: Does Monster tank impression.
Onlookers: Why is this grown woman pretending to be a t-rex?
Heheh I giggled doing that bit 😝
I got the 2022 Hyper SP.. does all the above and even the little off-road/greenlanes
amazing bike
The number of times I've needed to stop on a dime and get my nails done ;-)
Is it okay in lower engine speed? For example in the city? If you had to choose would you decided for the Monster SP or the new Street Triple RS? :D
Once upon a time I had a 2013 Versys. It had 60 something bhp and nobody complained it being under powered for overtaking. Times we live in....
Great review. Love everything about the bike except the Japanese style looks. The Monster is/was such a design icon, which seems to be somewhat lost.
Hi Lara, you've got a bunch of Ducati experience now, is the Supersport still the one bike to do it all?
Yes - it really is. Best of all worlds - but SS can be too soft to really push on track (but that’s just me) and you compromise a dash of comfort on long tours… but it always passes my look back test, and its sportily ‘ready’ when I want to enjoy the curves and the engine is everything I need!
@@Laramoto Great to hear as I have one!! 🤣 Curious to try other bikes but think the SS might well be in that Goldilocks zone for one bike.
Great video of the Monster but what would you choose from this or your Supersport s + it will be very interesting for you to do a review on the Monster sp?? 👌🏻👍🏻😁
Nice!
How does the SP compare to the V2 street fighter?
This is a great question - I’ll have to find out but the Street Fighter has ooodles more power.. so that will be the biggest difference!
Great review of the new monster. Was keen to hear your thoughts on comparing it to the Supersport directly - Did it feel quicker?
About the same ish! It’s just a shock to feel how light it is compared to my Supersport, so it would have the jump, but less aero…
@@Laramoto loved the way you captured that deep Ducati howl on full throttle - quite adictive!
I just got my MC license in June last year and bought a 950 Monster, aka my dream bike. I cannot stress how amazing it has been so far! I was worried that this bike would be too much too quick for a beginner, but it has been a dream so far. Cannot say anough good things about it. My only minor gripe is that it's very loud (full termi racing exhaust system) and at low revs it's a bit jumpy. This bike likes to be driven and not taken for a stroll.
Hey, I was wondering how the handlebar vibration is? And how is it commuting at low speeds (between 20-45mph)? From what I’ve seen, it handles well on the highway…. has this been your experience?
Thank you very much!
@@NO-bw5dn it's not great at low speed or low rpm, it likes to be above 3500 revs. Am selling my 2022 monster after just 4000km.
@@AlexDahlZ why did you sell it?
@@dhruvmehra2499 it's a ducati, meaning service is expensive and it's an Italian motorcycle that does not have the best build quality. I also hated how the bike was super jerky at low rpm. I ended up test driving a bmw m1000r and traded the monster in for that. You should try bmw s1000r or maybe a kawasaki before putting money down for a ducati.
I live just off that road it is a great road (buxton)
Great road!
What’s the brand of her green helmet? looks incredible
I didn’t like the bike when I rode it but love the hypermotard sp with the same engine
I really want to see monster SP review when it comes out.
Compared to 890 Duke R? How does it stand?
I’ll have to find out! Chris might know…
Poor raged duke 🤭 great take lady 👌
When was this filmed?
It's been over a few months.
Does this bike still has the desmo valves?
Yes, desmodromic valvetrain, 30.000km valve check.
@@rhemyis Thanks.
Damm dat gurl can Ryde!!!
Nice review. Love your helmet. Which one is it?
The city one?
@@BikeWorldTVshow Yes. I think I found it. Is it the Caberg Ghost?
@@a-d-zmotorcycles1955 That's it
Me encanta el casco q referencia es ?
If it's not any good, you fooled me. Looked like a blast and certainly a bargain compared to the Supersport. Though, in a showroom, I found the SS the more ergonomically suited to my carcass.
Hi, I am looking for this bike and I was a bit concerned by reliability as desert X seems to have some trouble sharing same engine.
And I know Ducati isn’t what it used to be. But… still… 😅
Hi 👋 Lara, super happy to watch your video, once again.
5-10, damn, you are such a tall girl. Your half apple had better standing in line. If I add how you’re able to ride and drag your knees into leans…what remained of my male ego, resigned 5 minutes ago 😅. I’m joking, obviously, you’re a very good rider. I’m not so good, but I started pretty late with a “ big bike”, I don’t ride often and I haven’t joined any course or lesson. Recently I even crashed on f. gravel.
Anyway, the monster. I own an old 620 I.e., I like 676 , 1100 evo, 797, 1200 (a little less), but I find this one, not ugly, but not matching monster stereotypical lines. I’ m a happy katana owner, but I miss so much 2 cylinder engine, especially on mountain twisties. I thought a little bit if getting a new Ducati, but parochialism risks to obfuscate a rational decision. In fact I choose to cuddle myself with a 890 duke R, that’s lighter, has oversized suspension and brakes and spreads torque everywhere within revs range.
Have a nice weekend and congratulations for you (riding and journalistic) abilities.
Great to have you here Andrea!
Nice real review…I am still surprised how they let you get in the truck with the mirrors on the monster…
The new monster is a great bike and looks great. However, for the same money you could buy a Gen 3 - MT09SP. That’s so much more. Doesn’t look so good I guess
Nice bike but sad when an SV650 looks more like a classic Ducati monster...than a Ducati monster
Way cheaper to buy and run too😉👍👍
I was hoping for a sonorous rumble but all I got was a howl...
Great review
Unfortunately I just can't get together with the styling.
For me the Monster look just doesn't come through here.
I appreciate the benefits of performance gains with re designing the framework etc, but they definitely should of called it something else.
Nick Australia
great review and info but arse off knee miles out on the road? check chris out
Would be nice if you could get Lara to do a similar review on the MT-09 SP, I've been looking at both as a replacement for mine and this was an excellent review and I would be interested to hear her thoughts.
Noted!
Great review nice obviously excellent light bike , i just can’t get by the awful jelly mould engine panelling if it’s frameless and minimal accentuate that ! it’s-like someones gone jelly mould mad ☹️
If you had to choose…. the Monster SP or the new StreetTriple RS? 😂
Nice bike. But I can’t bring myself to sell my 2009 696. The sound on the new ones just doesn’t do it for me.
Love to know how you avoid 50 mph average speed cameras on those roads in that Derbyshire area and adjoining counties.... Take the number plate off ? 😈
She didn’t go over 50, there might of been a slight burst but nothing major, check the onboard footage. You’ll be a surprised how fast a bike looks when it’s riding towards you on camera.
@@BikeWorldTVshow I agree you can do many tricks with the camera ! If you know where the cameras are you can pull over periodically and then go again to hit the corners much faster and still average 50... In the old days had flip number plates powered by a ypvs motor ..... Unfortunately young riders these days will never experience what it was like in the 80s 90s being able to use your machine without the high risk of a ban or prison sentence ... Those roads were brilliant to Congleton etc .... The good old days
God bless 🙌 ☯️❤️🇨🇦
The fiddly cat has never been the same sine they put the 50mph average cameras on it 😞
EVO 1100 with the same power is identical in weight, granted it isn’t euro 5. However, no trellis, no sale + MT09 is a better value.
