Pros and Cons in comparison
Ducati Monster 2025
With its exceptionally well-balanced engine, Ducati has produced a superb engine for the fifth generation of the Monster. The very low weight of both the engine and the bike contributes to its ‘lightness of being’ and, combined with the excellent, easy-to-operate clutch, results in a straightforward riding experience. With its low seat height and good ergonomics, the Monster is also very well suited to beginners, whilst its smooth power delivery ensures plenty of riding pleasure for experienced riders too. With its fuel tank design and lines inspired by the original Monster, die-hard Monsteristi are sure to be filled with wistful memories of 1992, when Ducati launched the first ‘Monster’. With its high-torque engine, Ducati delivers not only the looks but also the performance you’d expect from a modern Monster featuring cutting-edge technology. So, for 2026, we can confidently adopt Jar Jar Binks’ slogan from *Star Wars*, who, startled by eerie creatures, briefly declared: “We’ve got monsters again!”
Yamaha MT-07 2025
The new Yamaha MT-07 is the best ever. The criticisms and wishes of MT-07 riders have been heard and implemented. The new MT-07 rides better in every respect, is more stable and makes the spread even wider: both beginners and novices will be able to cope with it, as well as more experienced riders, as it is now a more mature, more potent bike. It has closed the gap to the competition, only in terms of pure engine power it is still 10-20 Horsepower behind the competition. But that's not too bad, as the CP2 engine is still a guarantee for riding pleasure and a wide grin under the helmet. Whether or not you should choose the optional Y-AMT transmission is something you should definitely try out for yourself as part of a test ride - the surcharge for this is humane. Therefore: Big praise to the Yamaha engineers who have significantly upgraded their mega-seller without changing the character of the MT-07. However, Yamaha now has one problem: the residual values of the previous three generations will probably tumble, as the differences to the current generation are noticeably large. And as we all know, the better is the enemy of the good.
