Prós e contras em comparação
Ducati Monster 1200 S 2016

A Ducati regressa à consistência e realça mais o carácter clássico da Monster, enquanto o design foi aperfeiçoado em pequenos passos: Cauda mais curta, distância entre eixos mais curta, depósito mais pequeno. O motor tornou-se mais limpo e mais potente, ao mesmo tempo que a eletrónica se tornou mais completa. Para além do ABS e do TC, a Monster dispõe também de controlo de rodas, e a versão S tem até ABS em curva. A alavanca de mudanças rápida de série sublinha o carácter desportivo da Monster, que poderia ser mais agressiva na entrega de potência. Por outro lado, estes 150 cv podem ser conduzidos por um leque muito alargado de clientes.

A KTM é e continua a ser a moto naked mais brutal do mercado. A posição de assento vertical combinada com a potência selvagem da V2 fazem-na parecer mais brutal do que é no papel. Foi melhorada precisamente nos seus pontos mais fracos. O motor funciona agora de forma mais suave, o assistente de mudança de velocidades proporciona calma na fase de aceleração e o chassis foi melhorado. Continua a gostar mais da perseguição selvagem do que da alta velocidade em curva em curvas longas.
