Ducati Monster 2025

Ducati Monster 2025

With the very well-balanced engine, Ducati has a very good engine for the fifth generation Monster. The very low weight of the engine and vehicle support the "lightness of being" and, in combination with the very good and easy-to-operate clutch, result in an uncomplicated riding experience. With its low seat height and good ergonomics, the Monster is also very suitable for beginners and, thanks to its good power delivery, also delivers plenty of riding pleasure for experienced riders. With the tank design and lines based on the original Monster, the die-hard Monsteristi will certainly be nostalgic for 1992, when Ducati launched the first "Monster". With the high-torque engine, Ducati delivers not only the looks but also the performance you would expect from a modern Monster with modern technology. So for 2026, we can confidently use the slogan of Jar Jar Binks from Star Wars, who, startled by scary creatures, only briefly announced: We have monsters again!

Easy handling

Switch somewhat spongy

The new Honda CBR600RR divides minds above all with its idiosyncratic front - and that's a good thing, after all, this makes it perceived as completely new and different from its predecessor. That this is not the case is proven by the rest of the machine, the high-mounted rear silencer, the chassis and the engine are largely unchanged.

Super design

sporty look

powerful engine

pleasant ergonomics

optimal braking system.

The fittings could have been done better - at least in terms of appearance.
