Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Monster 1200 S 2016

Ducati Monster 1200 S 2016

Ducati returns to consistency and brings out more of the classic character of the Monster, while the design has been sharpened in small steps: Shorter tail, shorter wheelbase, smaller tank. The engine has become cleaner and more powerful at the same time, the electronics more comprehensive. In addition to ABS and TC, the Monster also has wheelie control, and the S version even has cornering ABS. The standard quickshifter underlines the sportiness of the Monster, which could be more aggressive in its power delivery. On the other hand, these 150 hp can be ridden by a very wide range of customers.
