@Mephistocbrxx11 Man, new one are so much better than old ones, easier around town, very reliable, and they are for real riders dude, yeah not easy to pick up - but the more you push it - the better it becomes!! :-)

[Mephistocbrxx11]

@motorcycleluke Man i have at this clas a b-king whoo have full ohlins ,brembo,micron etc.(bike cost 30.000 euros) , like ducati have in fact .... so tell me about ducati monster:)))))

@Mephistocbrxx11 Dude.. you sound so stupid. Do your research. Ugly is your opinion, useless "its a sports motorcycle" buy a truck if you want usefull!! Where's your evidence of modern Ducati's being unreliable? Expensive? You can get a brand new 1100 for around 11,000. Often maintenance? Factory service intervals on a monster are every 7500 miles!!! How is that often? Its' only hard to ride if you just learned how to ride a bicycle!!

[Mephistocbrxx11]

@rlvilleman No dude you sound stoopid.Ugly it is .....just look at it ....horibile and is not a sport bike is a naked bike a tourer like v-max or b-king wich is in the same clas but those are good bikes and a bike with 2 cam belts cad be reliabile. Valve clearence interval is 7500km not miles vs 50.000km for b-king for example and cam belts kit interval is 15-20.000 km or 2 years and.Valve clearence + cam belts kit cost 6-7ooo euro and that is maintanence cost for a year!!!!i do 20.000 easy

[Mephistocbrxx11]

@rlvilleman At 7500 km is VERY often service intervals.....don't mention that stoopid cluch wich must be replaced at evry 20-25000 km.SO YES IS VERY NOT RELIABILE WITH VERY OFTEN MAINTANENCE. I have 7 bikes and for b-king for example service interval for valve clearence is 50.000 but can do 60-65000 easy without braking the engine like ducati do.I know all this because i have a workshop ane i do service for all bikes....is my job

shut up

Great review and biased as hell, but that's how it should be riding a Ducati. It's about soul, passion blabla. I own an 848 and just riding it makes you feel special. It's not júst a bike, it's something different alltogether.

I remember when a mate of mine said: I just bought a Ducati 749 and I told him that he was insane, but a few months later I bought the 848 =P It's just not rational but at least you will be happy everytime you start it up and ride it! =D

[danijeeves]

how's the fuel consumption like? and how about maintenance?

[motorcycleluke]

@danijeeves Maintenance fella, I only get for a week normally! It's a Ducati, so its not the cheapest obviously, but fuel consumption is around 40mpg fella!

You gotta take a spin on an Aprilia Tuono..

[colla848]

@dbauernf you gotta take a spin on a Ducati Streetfighter....:)

[dbauernf]

@colla848 Nah, from what I've read about the engine character, surging, and other issues below 4000rpms, it's exactly the opposite from what I like and want from a bike.

Snowboarding lessons? In the UK? In March?

Good luck in the next Olympics, mate. You'll do at least as well as Eddie the Eagle.
