It will be interesting to see how the new design is received by the old fans and whether it will reach enough new fans. In any case, the smallest Monster has taken a big step forward in terms of performance.

Comfort

great ride

brakes.

Design not too sophisticated

chassis relatively complicated - not for beginners.

Are there so many people who don't need 100 hp to stabilise their ego? I think with previous single-cylinder models, it was always the design that was the problem, not the lack of power. The Duke manages to look really high-quality even as a small single-cylinder.

Stable frame

relatively low overall weight

good chassis

high-quality components

strong braking system

handling.

Significantly weaker single-cylinder engine

somewhat less comfort

somewhat less power.
