This review was a joy to watch and hear. Articulate, intelligent and objective but enthusiastic, a lot of other reviewers should take a leaf out of your book sir!

[@steveottavaino3804]

Wonderfully produced review, complete, detailed, beautifully photographed, excellent presenter. As good as it gets. Thank you brother. Cheers!!

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

Steve Ottavaino thanks Steve

[@revcole7]

Excellent review! Clear, coherent and concise with some great roads and wheelies!!! Enjoyed every minute.

[@JohnnyWooh]

love love love that bike. not as bulky as a superduke, not a racy as a tuono. great review.

[@tonyg3793]

Nice review; enthusiasm with objectivity, and some great footage. Well played Sir!

[@salsasnacker]

I just picked up a 2017 1200 S yesterday and I'm loving it. I was torn between this and the Super Duke R and this completely won me over, so refined and a joy to ride!

[@EEEBA1]

TireSlayer0331 Any issues with your monster? Thank you

[@badger4361]

That's a great review fella, nice job, very impartial. I love the monster, a little pricey perhaps but very nice.

[@MonkeySquad]

Amazing bike!

[@thealtered7]

I really like the reviewer. Well spoken, nice job. Check out the Front End Chatter pod cast if you enjoyed this.

[@ShipReK66]

I agree. However, plan on waiting 3 MONTHS between those podcasts!! That said, I will forgive them if this is what we get in between. Yes, I know podcasting is a hobby & not his job.

[@_t3dward]

agreed.

[@Zoharargov]

great review, would love to see a review for the new Superport S!

[@Idmc12]

Perfect review / reviewer. Thx for your efforts

[@wackeyracer2001]

Good presenter. He's a keeper 👍🏻

[@xenonozhid3383]

Superb review - thank you.

[@_t3dward]

great review :)

[@Peanutdenver]

Great Review, this cat needs to do more of them for Bike World.

[@oshkoshbjosh986]

Whoa it's the guy from front end chatter!

[@jazzsingh9330]

Best review. Ever.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Great comprehensive review and really nicely produced and presented - looks like the Monster is back! ...by the way who would possibly pay more for a Ducati in Grey?? There should be a Euro 4 ruling that says they have to be red I reckon....

[@GranTurismoJunky]

Normally I'd agree, but currently I ride a black Monster S2R and I really think that grey looks astonishing. At least you didn't do the unthinkable and buy a white Panigale ;)

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

White Pangale's are for pansies.... ;0)

[@dronesandramblings]

great review guys, would love to see some POV shots and hear live commentary as you're riding. Just a thought tho. Good stuff, keep it up.

[@desmodoni9207]

Just ordered mine! Liquid concrete grey!!! Winter here will be loooooonnnnggggg!!!!

[@fireblade8905]

ARCHI _Rider luck guy. How much did that beauty set you back?

[@desmodoni9207]

soup 890 Here in Canada it is priced at $18 695 + $895 transport

[@mariusm5187]

great presenter and a very nice detailed review :)

[@frankweathersbee2553]

Really liking, may need to visit dealer & checkout the size. My 2008 GT1,000 is a hoot with 40k miles & no issues lower gearing allows up to 50 mph wheelies depending on road & clutchless shifting due to quality.

[@Youtube_Globetrotter]

The only negative I can think of with the quick shift if you use it all time. When that situation you need to step on the brake in panic . You may be not find the clutch again as fast as you should/would.

[@istvanjanosgucsi-vegh6752]

Szuper motorcycle 👍🇮🇹💪🏍️😎

[@MianCowell]

love me some mufga!

[@ViceVersaMusik1]

I Really want one of these Monsters!!! There such sexy Bikes and sound so nice!!

[@maman89]

That quick shifter is the future.

[@Gautam454]

Awesome review! You do look normal / slightly on the larger side riding it at 5'9". I'm sure I'll look funny at 6'3"!

[@oshkoshbjosh986]

Hey Bike World, change the title so there is a space between 1200 and S. When searching youtube for Ducati Monster 1200, your video doesn't appear. Which is a shame because it's a good video!

[@GMANS_BIKES_CARS]

Great review, wish I had that up And down quick shifter on my 959 😜

[@SMU_3L]

G-MAN'S BIKES & BITS can't you get an aftermarket up and down? They should be able to programme it to work

[@GMANS_BIKES_CARS]

Samuel Wicks , u maybe right buddy, I always think I want a double quick shifter but actually I think it would take some fun away from the bike and I love rev matching on the down change, my 959 also has the lightest slipper clutch ever and it has a quick shifter for the up changes, cheers, GMAN

[@toddkamusic1165]

how is the 17 S compared to the 16 R? I ask because I have ordered the 17 S ) I traded my 16 Tuono Factory) and should be taking delivery later this month (even though I won't be able to ride it until after the snow clears). I'm fairly certain I've watched every review of the 17 S and your review is #1 with no other review anywhere close in quality and substance. As always, you guys did an amazing job. Thanks again

[@EEEBA1]

Todd KA Music How do you like your monster? Thank you

[@cedricksamaniego9146]

How about heat🔥 that the monsters gives out?

[@bharathvel9238]

Is the tank made of metal r plastic??

[@user-fq9jy9tt1v]

дукати крут

[@thejtkirk2072]

Anyone know the handlebar width?

[@myownopinion6676]

THIS OR THE TUONO? ANYONE WHO GOT THE LUXURY AND EXPERIENCE PLEASE ANSWER. THANK YOU!

[@marktopliss8132]

I heard they have electrical probs and a lot of false nutrals

[@theloniousMac]

So I'm gonna say you liked it?

[@franzb69]

quickshifter would be great in traffic

[@bebo3ful]

Damn....heel touching the exhaust is why I didnt buy this, great bike, but why couldn't they fix this?

[@strokenumber3]

Good, t g no V I

[@Lar308]

Can't understand the constant cribs about the foot pegs. Every rider on You Tube reviews must have ostrich like feet. I feel totally at home and relaxed on my 821.

[@AlanTrades]

It's no longer a monster

[@vas4uin]

good bike ,the price way too high ,motorbikes should not exceed US$12000.00 above that means you can buy a car with couple more thousands,cause most of the bikes are comfortable for riders only not for the back seat person
