I owned a previous 821 and then now i own the 937 and the difference is day and night. The new monster is better in every way. Modern design, lighter, better turning range, more horse power. It is a really fun bike that both an experienced rider and a novice rider can enjoy. Also they kept the orginal formula that gave birth to the orginal monster. I don't understand the hate. People need to get on one and ride it!
Don't understand the hate? really? Where's the single sided swingarm, and the beautiful trellis frame and the other small engineering appointments that showcased the monster as an icon of Italian design? This new one looks like every other generic motorcycle released in 2024... and it's not the only new Ducati that's taken a step backwards in the design department - it may as well be a Suzuki... in fact I'd rather ride a new Suzuki.... the new Katana looks much nicer than this - are those wheels taken off the new V-Strom?
@metubechannel1438 monster didn't have single sided swing arm. Ride both and then make an opinion. What ducati did here is progress and not improving your bike for looks and nostalgia only will turn them into another harley. Plus dropping the trellis resulted in weight loss and better turning radius which means better riding experience particularly in the city. Plus i believe that the new monster has a lot of the dna of the old one and i am talking looks here. It is just a modern interpretation. Also it is based on sports bike so the ducati respected the orginal concept. With that being said mate i understand that bikes are emotional objects and each one has his own reasons for what to like and what not to like. If you really like the older design then you can easily pick one in the secondary market and get a good deal at it as well :)
My Monster SP rips on track and street. It is objectively better than all the Monsters that preceded it and the racing DNA shines through when you trailbrake it in to a corner. I don’t care about trellis if it means lower weight and better handling. If you want a retro Ducati with a trellis, buy a Scrambler.
Just got mine 2 days ago. Took it directly for a 300km ride. Love the way it looks, handling and power. I am happy with it but kinda feel a trellis frame will enhance the look
The original for me please, no contest. Even if the newer ones become better bikes with every iteration, they never (thus far) came close to the original.
he is lying about what he thinks of the new monster. 😂 my detective 🕵️♂️ sense tells me that .. i just received my monster sp yesterday. i bought it because i can and im not a fan initially i also own panigale v2 and some japanese. surprisingly , the monster sp (looks mt07ish to me ) is so easy to ride. 😂it’s great. but it feels slower than my 2024 mt09 , don’t know why ..
Yes, the bike that saved Ducati, something the new model wouldn’t be able to do as its not selling very well aparentlu… an overpriced copy of Yamaha MT line. Ducati Monster was the 911 of bikes, an almost 30 year old lineage that was volves over time. With the new gen, they decided to make the 911 look like a run of the mill BMW. Nothing wrong with a BMW looks, but no 911 fan would be happy with it.
The Monster was much more like the Cayenne, rather than 911. Porsche had made 911s for decades and always struggled to be profitable. The Cayenne, being as different to the line up as the Monster, was the breakthrough for Porsche.
@@onemanmob6756 The Cayenne is the Multistrada that's now the best selling bike, and it's like the SUV of bikes for people to show off on the street and not use it for the intended purpose.
@@onemanmob6756 Very good point. The Cayenne was equally important for Porsche as the Monster was for Ducati. Both introduced new customers to the brand.

Great to hear about your experience with the 937! We tend to agree with your sentiments, but some people just love the old classics!

They added cruise control!? When did they do that?

@weed46 I thought the video and discussion were about which bike/car saved which company, rather than which bike is the equivalent of which car... 🤔
@@onemanmob6756 Very good point. The Cayenne was equally important for Porsche as the Monster was for Ducati. Both introduced new customers to the brand.
@@weed46What changes do you think Ducati should make to improve the current Monster?
