@@mmosley24 For that one ride I did have all the riders aids off, I was really trying to see the Monster R’s top speed. 6th gear is overdrive, apparently I can hit 172 - 175mph in 5th gear, but 6th gear won’t even hit 170 mph. I’m going to change out the bikes sprocket and see if I can get the bike above 180 mph (hopefully up to 185mph). But to be 100% honest, the bike is way more fun with ABS and DTC on. It’s very difficult to control the bike on the highway doing 120 to 170mph for a long period of time without ABS and DTC because the bike only weighs 350lbs, so those really help with confidence around bends fast and pinning the throttle. Without the electronics it’s extremely hard to keep the front wheel of the bike on the ground. It’s such a fun bike. I was talking with a friend of mine about trading it in for the V4S or V4R, but I keep saying how unique and great the Monster R is. It’s really one of a kind bike. I just got a new chin mount and will be uploading a lot more videos and be a lot more consistent. If there is anything or any specific bike you want to see please let me know. I know an owner of a Ducati dealership by me who likes the channel, the other day he said I can review any bike in shop and take it on test rides. So hopefully this channel can really grow now.
Hi ,,,how stable is at the full speed,,,I'm looking to buy one and I don't want to buy a lemon,,ride safe
Sick bike! I love the Ducati Monster design, that’s crazy fast!
Thank you brother! I'm going to race it against a Honda CBR 1000RR this week, I'll definitely upload the results.
@@MotoGold you're courageous to battle with fireplace,, good luck
Don't forget to subtract 5-8% speedo error. Every bike has it.
Abs and traction control off?
