- MCN road tester Trevor Franklin already tested the new Ducati Monster 1100 at the launch, but how does the 1100cc V-twin powered naked fair on bumpy British roads?
Trev has tested the 1100S version on UK roads and here's some of his thoughts: "The new Ducati Monster 1100S scores highly straight from the off.
"The combo of stiff chassis and Ohlins suspension is a track day rider's dream and involuntary throttle movement gives immediate engine response."
For the full test, pick up a copy of the January 7 edition of MCN.

these bike are very well built and hold up over time.
They are much nicer to ride than other bikes too.
Enjoyed this video. MCN's CZcams videos seem to have been getting better lately.
gotta love this beauty
My God that sounds amazing! This will be my next bike!
Sharp bike, thanks for sharing mate!
I saw a Ducati Monster today!!
nice sound to it. an looks great too
is the rear seat only that little black triangular thing?
Would you suggest this bike for a novice? I ve been riding off and on for years but ive bee away from bikes for about 15+ years. I need a big bore bike because i am 6 foot 3 and about 240 pounds
How does this bike do when compared to the Yamaha FZ 1000?
Im in missouri right now and they got some pretty twisty stuff.
what is the difference between the ducati monster 696 and the 1098? is one for beginners and the other is for more experienced bikers?
OooooOoHh I Love that sound..!!
It is like a thousand kittens gently caressing my ear drums!
ducati vs. buell is apples to oranges on every level! from history and heritage to performance and quality not to mention the culture.
are these better than a buell lightning?
@metalheadfille mine has fully adjustable Showa suspension. I have ridden the 1100s too and you would need to be bloody good to really tell the difference. :)
I bet that engine is fantastic for road use. Plenty of power where it's really needed.
great video of an awesome bike
I am from Bosnia down to earth beautiful country/people. Living in Australia at the moment, weather is excellent for bikes its always hot dry sunny "hottest & driest inhabited place on earth" Ducati = Dream come TRUE.
@Darkzey Hi there,
for sure your Ducati needs more care than a BMW, but when you get over the 6000 rpm it is fucking nice to feel the vibration and to hear the engine roar. He forgot to say to most against on this bike, it is fucking addicting
I'm sure ms. Margaria knows this bike.Good reviewer but should be a longer show;) Have only seen one in Dublin so far
Was watching this vid when it was just posted. 5 years ago.. Time is running. But, ducati still good.
You also have the aprilia tuono!
The UK has windy roads, not straight boring roads like in america.
okrabay: to answer your question the Ducati Monster is far more refined than a buell lighting. 1. the monster's cornering as far superior and like trevor said "effortless." The motor in the lighting is merely a souped up sportser motor. Buells were own by harley and are no longer in production. Needless to say you can get a buell for dirt cheap w/warranty but you get what you pay for in the long run
Nice review!
The bike is Hot, Real Monster.
@sooupdragon Go for the 796 Monster mate. GHood price. Could do with a little more HP, but hey, it does a job.
wow, beautiful, i love ducati, the best.
Sorry me, but i don't undestand it, do you mean the 90 degree V-twin engines with Desmodromic valves was copyed of formula 2 Ford engine? you should exlplain better, when? which engine? I have enormous doubtful.
Nice vid.
good review dude.. thanks for talking straight too.. its $9k. etc
The rear seat has a removable plastic cover for riding two up.
@R0FLLMA0WTF : The "S" comes with fully ajustable Öhlins suspension (Gold coloured front fork) and nice Gold coloured rims. The 1100 has Sachs suspension.
At speed, that little fairing makes a significant difference. I happen to own both a Monster 900Si.e. and a ER6-f (650R in US), and like them both. They are not comparable - the Ducati has MUCH better brakes, a stronger engine, fully adjustable quality suspension and a huge aftermarket for performance improvements. Oh, and the wind protection is about the same, tiny fairing or not. My ER6f is better for touring, more economical & has a much smaller turning radius which is a Duc failing.
how much please tell me?
i love it!
Monster!
@jokeman86 than wake up, drive to a Harley dealer, catch one of the last Buell XB12 and close your eyes again. THIS IS HEAVEN mate.
Thanks alot for letting us listen to the music of the 1100 rather than some teeny bop B.S.
best ducati engine ever
the new 09 monster from Duc.. is friggin awesome.. it even won the award for best looking bike.. Im talking bout the new Monster not the 1100s
@artistsourav59 yeah...i too agree with u..
Very nice review sir! And letting us listen to that V-twin instead of some bloody techno music.... nicely done.
Ducati now makes nice AND reliable bikes but they still aren't cheap.... which probably is for the better actually. If they were cheap everyone would buy them and then they'd be about as special as.... well.... something not as special.
What if every dimwit could afford a Ferrari? Exactly...
Same high tax situation in Vietnam, so you have a lot of people ride bycicle like u, don't feel lonely ;)
that isn't even on the same league... A naked bike Vs a hypersort?! but thank you for enlightening me..
@TigerSupercatE1
You want to ride this as your first bike ? Good luck then, I think you'll need it. Or a lot of self-controle.
A right cheeky motor, in'nit?
close your eyes and listen to that sound....for a moment you almost think you´re in heaven
such as?
(...) Termigloli? Is that a new Italian pasta...?!?
@truebluepat ha its not $9k its 9k euros. $12151. plus tax and everything so its like 15k+ USD.
Did he say termi-nogeni?
way better. ducatis basically come with every upgrade you could imagine factory installed.
@reaper2ooX Lions don't purr.
@sooupdragon just cuz its expensive doesnt mean its not good
They aren't all they're hyped up to be.
Ugh, i HATE that digital tach. Digi speedos are fine with me, but I absolutely can't stand a digital tachometer.
looool "Termignonini" 0:33
I dont like the new ducati monsters headlight, just isnt the same anymore
im going to assume school is expensive there too right?
@artistsourav59 don't worry is almost the same thing! loool just kidding, the taxes here are not too high but i still can't afford one as well so cheers mate!
depending where your going a bicycle could be a anywhere from 1 stroke to 500000000000000000 strokes
sounds awesome!only thing i would change is that number plate holder it looks like a stick poking out its ass.
Bicycle = best 1 stroke ever.
this guy didn't seem too thrilled to ride a ducati =/
woah woah i didnt call him an idiot. there is a difference.
You must be the guy who rides around main street i first gear
Well. 20 000 english punds in norwa for this one. Almost 200 000 norwegian
i don't know much about bikes, but i want one! also it's soo sexi.
@artistsourav59 dude, ducati costs a lot here in Italy aswell, and i'm riding a bicycle too ;-)
moment i get a licence ;)
just make sure to buy a lifetime supply of kittylitter
@ballindude22 HA, its not $9,000 Euros, its $9,000 POUNDS. The pound is a completely different currency, and are still worth atleast 15% more then the Euro (today anyway). England/UK does not partake in the European common currency. Hey, comprehension skills are not your thing. Understanding is just a little bit beyond you. Like Biggy said - don't feel bad, UPS is hiring.
It's pronounced: TERM-IN-YONI
streetfighter or monster .........???
He´s driving on the wrong side^^ ;-)
more than tax, the attitude of sole importer/dealer has ruined the ducati india. hope audi brings in the fresh air.
a 2009 R1 for example
Like the one in my videos
Dukati cost a lot in india bcaz of huge tax, so cant buy one. Now m riding bycycle.
Youre driving on the wrong side of the road man!!!
hahaha
almost ten grand with the cans?
You could get a real bike for that!
k weirdo
@nielsboex just a joke really...
absurd remark
lame plate holder on rear , spoils the bike
when i said rubbish let me explain a ducati engine is two cyclinders off a formula 2 ford engine the exhaust was copyed from a honda rc30 and they are over priced rubbish but nice rubbish
Your r1 video is very cheese, The r1 is very nice but your comparing two totally different bikes.
Blerst.
what a load of rubbish
Most boring review EVER...
rubish old man acting like he knows everything
your video is #@$#@# cheese,come are you serious?
i have never rode one of these over priced bikes i will stay in the real world with my kawasaki zx7r
What a useless test!
Farting around in the rain in crappy England.
ducati's are ugly and expensive, but its a good machine.
