Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB750 Hornet 2023

Honda CB750 Hornet 2023

The new Hornet 750 is a really successful naked bike that sets itself above most competitors in the upper entry-level bike class with its wonderfully agile and powerful engine, balanced handling and chassis, comfortable riding position and, last but not least, its extensive electronic equipment. Actually, it comes very close to the middle class, only the boring swingarm and the narrow 160 rear tyre (which, however, helps the handling enormously) do not quite fit into this segment. However, it is hardly more expensive than the entry-level bikes, and instead a few, sometimes even many thousands cheaper than the mid-range. That makes it an unbeatable offer!

Powerful, high-torque engine

good brakes

comfortable seating position

agile handling

well-balanced chassis

extensive electronics

affordable, optional quickshifter

excellent price

Steel box swing arm not particularly sexy

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!

Well-fitting motor Low weight

Easy handling

Switch somewhat spongy

Throttle response somewhat delayed when engaging the clutch

Suspension elements not adjustable
