Ducati Monster 2026

Ducati Monster 2026

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

Honda CB750 Hornet E-Clutch 2026

Honda CB750 Hornet E-Clutch 2026

The Hornet 2026 remains true to itself and is complemented by the E-Clutch. The system increases comfort and performance in equal measure and perfectly matches the versatile character of the naked bike. Thanks to the first-time interaction of electronic throttle control and E-Clutch, the Japanese company's hybrid clutch technology has now finally overtaken conventional quickshifters and harmonises perfectly with the Hornet. Both the bike and the E-Clutch score points in everyday situations as well as on fun rides.

E-clutch as good as ever, offers comfort & performance

high everyday comfort

agile handling

accessible yet emotional engine

nicely balanced suspension

very attractive price

Ergonomics suboptimal for tall riders

handlebars could be wider and further forward

suspension (unlike Transalp model sister) not adjustable
