Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Monster 2021

Ducati Monster 2021

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

Triumph Speed Triple RS 2021

Triumph Speed Triple RS 2021

The fact that the basic structure of the Speed Triple RS has remained unchanged for around a decade does not only have disadvantages. For those who like this typical, somewhat stretched naked bike geometry will hardly find anything comparable among the power nakeds. If you don't necessarily need more than 150 hp, you get a really good bike with Öhlins suspension, Brembo brakes and an amazingly comprehensive electronics package. And the typical Speedy look of the Brit can still turn heads!

Powerful, high-torque engine

wonderful sound

classic naked bike seating position

super brakes

extensive electronics

independent, unmistakable look.

Quickshifter not series
