Ducati monster 696 vs Triumph Street Triple 675 - What's the best choice???

[ingadmin8]

Ducati.... is a Ferrari on two wheels.

[r3No1]

@ingadmin8 shows how much you know about motorcycles.. I own a ducati.. and it is no Ferrari ...

[objetosemnome]

this video is HORRIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WITHTEETH1]

Definitly Triumph! Cheaper, faster, easier to ride, looks waaaaay better and less maintenance...

[pikemancolley]

my mate had both triple in a diffrent league better engine cheaper more reliable the better bike

[dunphyjp]

you can't go wrong with the triumph at all... more comprehensive maintenance plan and significantly better sound IMHO.... bigger gas tank and out right sexy looks makes it a winner in my book.

[AssaultMechRider675]

Listen to yourselves, children.

It's simple: Just go for a ride on each and you will know. It will choose you, like that winged dragon creature in Avatar.

Or save your time AND MONEY and just get the standard Street Triple. It'll be years before you're as good as the stock 675 bike is. Even on the track.

It's hard to ignore the Street Triple once you've ACTUALLY RIDDEN ONE (massive hint there BTW...).

And forget sound: the St3 can bark, sing, whistle & howl.

Just ride them, mate, FoFuSa!

[kebabizedatbirth]

with the sound ducati can't lose

[eyfhsdksd]

Ducati 696 is imho higher quality, lighter thanks to air cooling and bi-cilinder and overall higher reliability due to italian racing experience..

The triumph has funky dual headlights and higher horse power although one should check those compared to the overall weight of the two bikes.

[dunphyjp]

@eyfhsdksd minus their electrical problems that two of my friends had with BOTH monsters they owned... not saying it's a normal occurrence by any means but if a Ducati goes wrong it goes way wrong... like a Ferrari :P maintenance is higher cost too...

[jsriley3245]

Can't beat a Duc!!!

[lollino05]

street triple R is not "street triple"..... DUCATI IS LIKE THE FERRARI THE TRIUMPH IS LIKE JAGUAR..... WHICH ONE U CHOOSE. BREMBO against nissin quality against english rubbish

[DJaysParadise]

@lollino05 xD You don't seem to have an idea of motorcycles. Ducatis are at service most of the time cause italians are quite bad mechanics... everything looks nice and expensive parts are used but the whole package does'nt work together that good!

[LucaDebia87]

ducati versus peg perego : peg perego won

[motocorvino]

DUCATI MAKES THE BEST BIKES IN THE WORLD!!!!!



[rayvelasquez267]

both great bikes from great manufacturers, the Ducati has better quality suspension and breaking standard but aftermarket products can fix that, while the street triple is more sporty but has a little bit of a "funkier" look what with the duel headlights. decide which you like bettter and have fun riding. i'm gonna try to pick up a 696s this summer i like it's style a little better and don't mind the slight decrease in speed for the better standard quality.

[Spinder00]

Monster 696 has nothing to do with street triple. You should go to 796 to get the competition a little balanced. Ducati has more torque and much low revolutions power, but nothing to do qith the incredibly elastic street triple R, wich in 1st gear reach 110 km/h!!!!!

[blkibanez]

STREET TRIPLE R RULEZ!! queen of 600cc's

[fourpointohh]

ima buy one of each and duct tape em together!

[TheMetallitia]

Street triple r hands down!! The monster is a let down..

[maverick130792]

TRIUMPH STREET TRIPLE R TUTTA LA VITA !!!!!!

[ThePianoDream]

GO FOR TRIUMPH!!!!!

[SuperKawaz750]

street triple r is every mans dream...........the abs is the only thing that is missing!!!

triumph!!!!

[usedmini]

Triumph!! over all better looking bike, and better handling/specs..... my opinion...

The monster has such a silly headlight......

[gazpacho40]

Surely you would go for a test ride before ultimately deciding one over the other to work out which feels right for you.

I have to admit that I love my Trumpy STr though... you know... mostly for the kick of riding.

[robenharm]

i think this is not a good comparison because the monster is not a bike made for the performance! the duc is made for the kick of riding and the triumph for the power!

[IphoneIhave1]

I hate to say but both bikes look pretty GAY..

[jflexe99]

@IphoneIhave1 Sorry not everyone enjoys a crotch rocket...grow up

[Revax30]

@IphoneIhave1 actually, you look a little GAY. Both of these are excellent bikes and much better than the competition. So, go drop the soap a bit more sailor.

[Viriatus]

@IphoneIhave1

The iPhone looks much more gay.

[Angels2t]

DUCATI!!!!!!!! YOU'LL NEVER REGRET IT

[jflexe99]

@Angels2t I hear maintenance is required a bit more on Ducatis...Monsters are NICE bikes though...looks and sound AMAZING!

[SaltyFlats]

I went with a red 2010 Ducati Monster.

[Pasika1966]

I'm 1.6m tall...really like The Tripple R, but went for Ducati 696 because of lower seat and also the financial deal that offers in bangkok. so DUCATI!!!!! ha ha

[satoonxtreme]

@Pasika1966 Dude, I'm also in BKK and I'm having the same comparison, but I'm leaning toward the Duke, and I'm getting it this month

[jvcmohaa]

triumph ¡¡¡¡

[modularblur]

Ducati best looks. Triumph best performance. Ducati biggest soul. Triumph biggest balls. Both are nice bikes.

[k2kelkar]

Can someone tell me what the music is?

[masserby]

I'm going to buy one but not sure. What's swinging me to the duc is abs which the 2010 version has. I'm rather surprised the Triumph does not, otherwise I'd buy it like a shot.

[Yormsane]

I've tested both, and the Triumph absolutely destroys the Ducati. Makes it seem outdated and unrefined, with an awful riding position.

The Street Triple engine pulls hard all the way from idle to the red line, the handling is much lighter and more nimble, plus the Triumph roars like an old Porsche 911 when you really let rip! :)

_

[joshiscool1989]

Street Tripple without a question. Looks much more aggressive, more power, and might be a little bit cheaper.

[maffsf]

LOL... Don't make me laugh Joker... I'd change it asp just for you but I'm not into Ramstein nor Village People!... I know you love "YMCA" or "it's raining men" but it doesn't match the motorcycles colour... Maybe next time if I post a pink One just for you! LOL

[YouMayCallMeJoker]

Making people laugh IS the Joker's business... even if it's from an N2O overdose... lol... As for the colour and music, just use the ones we so vividly remember from our Prom Night date... Then I'll know you still care... >D

[pcskip]

@maffsf What is the music, by the way? Loveit. I think it suits the clip. And I also just bought the Triple. Makes your face hurt - the muscles are killin' from all that grinnin you have to do :))))

[YouMayCallMeJoker]

What INSANE individual selected that MORBID, HORRIBLE background music for this video???

[maybilcatchfire]

i own the 696 and i wish i had gotten the triumph instead... the ducati has a look that is better but performance wise the triumph is better. as is the support you get from triupmh is great....ducati service is horrible

[Bogie3Flare]

You can't compare either, it's like apples and oranges. Though my preference is oranges.

[MIKELUZZ]

DUCATI!!!!

[tsagalidis88]

DUCATI...maybe triumph is faster but ducati has something...

[braccobalbo]

i'm italian and i really love Ducati, but those 3 cylinders... if u r looking 4 style get the Italian one, if u r looking f adenalyne get the english (it has the same engine of the Daytona, only few hps less)

[Alexfoot]

DUCATI

[shoeless1979]

Triumph wins but do yourself a favour and get the R version.

[mikepartyboy]

what do you get for the R version?

[shoeless1979]

Kayaba fully adjustable suspension and uprated radial 4 piston calipers and some cool colours too.

[me92390]

TRIUMPH!!!!!

[atreewithnolife]

Ducati is so old school !

[atreewithnolife]

Triumph, simply the best, ! I have ridden both & triumph is outstanding !

[tonicroatia]

honestly triumph is a better bike but i just love the monster a lot more so i would go for ducati

both are nice bikes and you'll can't go wrong with either of them just buy what your heart is telling you and what makes you tick more

[crustydemon34]

the ducat monster 696 is a nice bike, but surely no reference to the triumph street triple 675. there is nothing to argue about!

[yenhan705eh77]

Triumph all the way!

[isnteveryoneanao]

the music is The Blessed Spirits by Vanessa-Mae, courtesy of Shazam (iPhone ap).

Rock on, rock out.

[kkukkri]

Can you tell me what the background music is? Thanks.

[BigLazyDog88]

i ve tryied both bikes and i ride the triumph now.You want a monster dont bike the ducati...

those 2 bikes a good the 696 is a bit easier 675 is more for sport tiding you need a bit more skills for the triumph if your not a bad rider the triumph is THE roadster every bikes mags say that

[TheMegaCONARTIST]

Ducati, passion, joy, fun, pride, thrill, ownership never ending.

Triumph.

[everythinstaken]

street triple = bye bye slow ass monster :P monster more like teady bear

[someguy7721]

obviously the triumph!!

[salvaitalia]

obviously the DUCATI !!!!

[hardcoregamer85]

DUCATI

[zoomvidsjc1]

Think about service intervals also. Not sure if the pint sized duc still needs the costly valve check and cam belt replacement every 7500 miles or not but I think the triple is simpler cheaper with longer intervals. Just a thought.

[BigUriel]

The Ducati's service intervals are actualy longer than the Triumph's (12000Km vs 10.000Km). Ducati will need cam belts every 20000Km (which aren't nearly as expensive as they used to be) so on the long run I'd say both have the same maintenance costs. Valves are the same as any other engine: adjust when needed (and shouldn't need to soon).

[maffsf]

Thanks guys!!! I've decided and I'm going for the Street Triple R - Grey ;)... can't wait to get my ass on it!!! heheheh

[robbie87plz]

Same problem here about a month ago. I went Striple. Ride both, then decide. We don't ride your future bike, you will.

[weemull]

I've both bikes in the stable. I own a matt orange street triple R and my girlfriend owns a monster 696. Both are ace bikes with very little between them. I choose the triple R as i prefer the looks. The 696 sounds amazing, but is a little ruffer ride in my opinion. Also the 696 seat slopes forward a bit too much for my liking, squashing the berries against the tank! The 696 is lighter and the seat is alot lower, so if it's your first bike and you are comfortable on it, i would go for the 696.

[Nomoredie]

both bikes got strong character , i own a striple 9months now , but i rode test and a duc696 , its cool too , sweet engine , easy to ride ,and ofc the duCulture ! :) its just a matter of choise

[vrose01]

Streer Triple R the best!!!!!!!!!!!

[vivalamopped001]

THE QUEEN!

You won't regret it...

Go for the "R", brakes are as good as those of the duc monster, maybe even better!

[jeanphilippe22500]

streettttttttttttt triple man

[maffsf]

Thanks I already did... I love them both!!! That is my problem 'cause the Triumph has more power but the Ducati has better equipement (brakes, etc...)... I'm going to use it more in city roads!!!

[sickdesmo]

best thing to do is,do a test ride on both if u can.i rode the monster 1100 and it`s awesome!!!!desmopower
