Pros and Cons in comparison
Ducati Monster 1200 S 2017
The Ducati Monster generates a whopping 147 hp and a powerful 124 Nm of torque from the 1200 cc water-cooled Testastretta twin cylinder. This means you are more than just well motorised in every situation on the country road! The overall concept of a light ready-to-ride total weight of 213 kg in combination with high-quality Öhlins suspension and top assistance systems makes the machine an almost perfect naked bike. Classic, timeless design paired with modern components make this Italo beauty an "insider tip" in times of 200 hp + hyper naked bike rockets! Small compromises have to be made with the wind protection and the quickshifter. The latter takes a little getting used to.
Ducati Monster 1200 R 2016
The Ducati Monster 1200 R is a powerful naked bike for the road, with an excellent chassis, a harmonious and pleasantly rideable performance engine and helpful electronics that make it suitable for the occasional trip to the racetrack. Whether the R is worth the premium over the S is something everyone must decide for themselves.
