Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Monster 1200 S 2016

Ducati Monster 1200 S 2016

Ducati returns to consistency and brings out more of the classic character of the Monster, while the design has been sharpened in small steps: Shorter tail, shorter wheelbase, smaller tank. The engine has become cleaner and more powerful at the same time, the electronics more comprehensive. In addition to ABS and TC, the Monster also has wheelie control, and the S version even has cornering ABS. The standard quickshifter underlines the sportiness of the Monster, which could be more aggressive in its power delivery. On the other hand, these 150 hp can be ridden by a very wide range of customers.

Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS 2023

Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS 2023

Triumph has created an incredibly good all-rounder with the new Speed Triple 1200 RS. The engine can be moved very comfortably at low revs. The vehicle is very accessible when needed and inspires confidence. However, anyone who puts the spurs to the compact-looking motorbike reaps cruel acceleration and hard braking. The chassis is quite tight overall - as a result, it loses a little of its accessibility.

Incredibly universal - easy to drive in city traffic but also super fast when needed

Rev-happy and powerful engine

Can be driven quietly when needed

Light and compact ride

Stable handling even in fast corners

Strong brakes

Precise handling

Beautiful details

Timeless elegance.

Load change reactions at low speeds

slightly too low steering angle

narrow knee angle for tall people

traction control too defensive even in track mode

vibrations on handlebars
