You can always argue about the looks and the lack of a trellis frame, but the current Monster is anything but ugly. Basically, it would be a great everyday naked bike with pleasant ergonomics and a braking system that won't surprise even the inexperienced. The even softer suspension can also be seen as an acceptable compromise, but for a Ducati it is rather surprising that at least the front fork has not been set a little firmer. Unfortunately, the charismatic engine bucks heavily at low revs and therefore only reveals its marvellous V2 character on the country road. All in all, however, this reflects the overall image of the Monster very well: a typical Ducati that is also good for everyday riding in terms of suspension and brakes.

Typical Ducati engine with charisma

comfortable riding position

good, easy-to-use braking system

agile handling

high-quality components

comprehensive electronics package

cornering ABS

traction control depending on lean angle

Engine jerks a lot at low revs

front fork too softly set up

no longer unmistakably a Monster due to the missing trellis frame

Despite its radical ergonomics and high-powered sports engine, the Suzuki GSX-R 600 (K5) manages to impress on the long stages of the Race Around Austria. Its engine runs smoothly and the chassis offers more than just a minimum level of comfort. In combination with the nimble Michelin tyres, it creates a sporty, direct riding experience that you wouldn't expect from an 18-year-old bike. And when it comes to fast laps on the race track, the Gixxer is still very popular. The lap time in Brno (2:17 minutes) with Bartin Mauer speaks for itself.

Smooth-running engine with sporty revvy

Solid, stable technology

Powerful brakes

Agile yet stable handling

Radical ergonomics Sporty riding requires high revs
