2017 Ducati Monster 1200 Review! Jeff Ware

This year the Ducati Monster 1200 got a number of updates including the Ducati Safety Pack including cornering ABS and wheelie control, restyled bodywork, new exhaust system, bigger throttle-bodies, new swingarm, shorter wheelbase and trail, steeper steering angle, TFT dash, higher compression ratio, new pillion pegs, Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tyres and a pillion seat cover.
The bike also has more of the original Monster tough look. We spent a week on the bike, riding all over Sydney and our favourite country roads as well. Here's our video review. To read the full written review visit BikeReview.com.au. Thanks for watching!

u should take note of LampChopRides and do ride alongs with audio.

Great reviews as ever... but ditch the over loud backing music... It's louder than your commentary!

[@davidperrone2992]

No quick shifter though?

[@robertdavis4761]

Is it worth it to buy an S model for $3,000 more??

[@dry509]

So which bike has good smooth fueling at any speed (and on-off throttle) not snatchy...I hate that) good clutch transmission and handling? Anything? I know each bike usually has some problem. I can’t test ride a lot of these bikes in my town...especially the Japanese bikes.

They all have that fly by wire crap. They do because they can have rider modes like rain sport etc. The Z900 has a cable throttle and is supposed to have very smooth fueling.
