Beautiful.

[@rinoinfantino3910]

Great review

[@freidrichnietzsche6643]

pic mine up tomorrow! motoGeo, I didn't know you did sportbike reviews but I love your adventure series as well. Keep up the good work sir!

[@itfben]

How was your monster? Still got it?

[@freidrichnietzsche6643]

@@itfben negative sir. Was sold out from under me.

[@Dracati]

Sweet Share !!! That is the New Monster to have ;)

[@luisfernandes1398]

This Channel is addictive!! When Motogeo visit Portugal???

[@jamesh.7599]

*IT'S BEAUTIFUL!*

[@R1ACE]

Great review :)

[@ianallison1747]

I’m buying one on Monday in black awesome.

[@sarahdell4042]

You have a good audience and live in s stellar area. You should do what Matt does from the smoking tire, and test people's bikes and make endless videos. Great way to build more of an audience, easy to make videos, more videos = more clicks.

[@easymemesniper]

Sweet. My new starbucks machine!

[@HALFBREEDMUGEN]

GREAT!!!!!.

[@vwr32jeep]

This is more of a commercial than a review. But I still want one.

[@bailey9r]

That's why it is a commercial! ;

[@notlisztening9821]

please explain to me why the r version lacks all the technical features the s version has, like corner abs, quickshifter,.... ???

[@irishrover63]

Didn't know there was a race track near Ronda, love that area. Environmentally unfriendly burnout my friend.

[@FrancisJSmith]

+IRISHROVER Ascari Racetrack, which is near Ronda.

[@Yradex]

#motogeo How is finding neutral on this one? I had 1100EVO ‘12 it had a bunch of mechanical issues...

[@sanderevers4601]

A nice review but the camera perspective during the riding shot are a bit strange ;D

[@Desmo_sky]

Огонь😱🔥

[@dreapardextroes9553]

wowwwww!!!!!!!

[@nakedbeachrider8798]

Hey Jamie, I'm 6'4" has the monster got room for tall folks? Did increased lean angle turn into higher pegs to cramp my legs? Thanks for the review mang.

[@dachidavitashvili3305]

Yes it does I am 5.11 and I its quiet large for me

[@AbaddonOfSheol]

I hate being poor...

[@thejtkirk2072]

AbaddonOfSheol An American actress called Sophie Tucker said 'I've been rich and I've been poor and rich is better'.It sure is.Live in a mansion,fast bikes in the garage,and all the women your tongue can handle.

[@javiergomezcardenas3065]

Great review guys! What track is that??

[@JJLalas]

Ascari Resort, Málaga (Beautiful Spain)

[@javiergomezcardenas3065]

+Alejandro GM No lo había reconocido, lo tengo aquí al ladito. Gracias!

[@ClutchFirst]

I've been waiting for this. That wheelie THO!!! Nice work Jamie! What are the service intervals? That's one of the most important things to me as a Ducatista.

[@motogeo]

+CLUTCH1ST valve clearance is scheduled for every 30,000 km and changing the oil every 15,000 km or every 12 months

[@ClutchFirst]

+MotoGeo 18k miles for valves belts etc and 9k miles for oil change. That's much better than before, but it's still a lot more frequent than other brands. I spend roughly $2,000 for my major service. It's not cheap in Manhattan. However, I love the brand and the perks it comes with. The amazing torque, that's special BRAAPPP sound, causing a scene at traffic stops and definitely a work of art.

[@AtomBomma]

+CLUTCH1ST ducatista* (ducatisti is plural)

[@ClutchFirst]

+AtomBomma Thanks dude. I fix it! :) Which Ducati do you own?

[@AtomBomma]

+CLUTCH1ST i dont own a ducati, but i would like one :)

[@syuliztyo9820]

Apa bedanya S sama R ??

[@GreenMan-em2jd]

Jim Halpert has a funny accident! Never noticed that before.

[@star-lord5190]

It's Ground clearance

[@lorenzomagazzeni5425]

Great entry bike, recommended for ladies and beginners

[@hybridEP3]

160hp v twin is not entry level 😂

[@bailey9r]

He identifies as a lady ;

[@cesarivansuarezgarza2333]

what bike would you choose, the ktm 1290 super duke or the ducati 1200 r??

[@TheSuperGnus]

ktm sd 1290r but love the new monster r

[@exothermal.sprocket]

1290 is more capable in power and control. Especially the latest release.

[@hybridEP3]

The 1290 is too fking fast lol

[@bailey9r]

I don't know about too fast but it is too much money! ;

[@MrTemplarious]

Why he sais "yucati"?

[@libertyworldian3867]

All-in suspension?

[@DaveNZ3339]

+Libertyworld Ian Haha, I got a chuckle out of that too. The captions interpret Jamie saying Ohlins as "all-in".

[@monomakes]

How do they measure a lean angle? Surely that depends on the rider. I certainly wouldn't chuck it out of bed though ;)

[@motogeo]

+mightlife It means, it is the first thing that touches the ground when leaning over, in this case, a 50 degrees the exhaust and foot controls touched.

[@monomakes]

ahhh! Thanks for clearing that up :)

[@albozztv9677]

How many cubics is this bike

[@franksyed1]

I wish 👆🏼

[@joshuaantony7495]

it's over $70.000 in indonesia :(

[@kiddo8597]

because pajak sangat tinggi

[@ahmadnazran237]

+Casa Racer hampir 1 M :(

[@joshuaantony7495]

bukan hampir bro, lebih malah hahaha

[@lorenzomagazzeni5425]

What would you do with that bike in Indonesia ? In Europe you can partially use the power, great highways smooth surfaces but in Idonesia your roads are CRAP.

[@antoniotosha2714]

A Monster 1200S with 15 hp more forged rims and a supersport tail. That's it. And people speak as a new new bike. Monster 1200s 2014. Was allrteady there. Ridicolo

[@Monster1000SR]

+ANTONIO TOSHA Man, I ride the S... but this Think is the next Step! More lean Angle (15mm higher), better Footpegs, Nice small Rearview! More Power... Waiting for End of April ;-) my S is for Sale now :-)

[@antoniotosha2714]

Lets say that is the next step ok I agree. But about what we are speaking? I am speaking about Ducati Monster not a superbike for the track. I mean if I have to buy a motorbike because I go often to the racetrack in that case dude there are at least 10 bikes much more high performace and less exspensive.

[@antoniotosha2714]

30 or 40 hp more yes. in that case I can say next step.

[@Monster1000SR]

+ANTONIO TOSHA Realy , you think only more Power ist the next Step? ...Bullshit! This Bike is a Bike for Country-Roads and "some" Rounds on the Track.. for this the S has enough Power. But not enough Leanangle, trust me ;-)

[@antoniotosha2714]

Ok dude i try to explain better what i mean.I would like really to give the two versions in tha hand of someone like Rossi o Marquez and them a would like to ask them, i mean, how big is the gap o difference? For .sure there are but are minimal. You say i dont have to think a lot to the power. What i have to think about? The front fork in black? ( personally i like more gold). The rims? 600/700 gr less. The black handlebars? The supersport tail? ( personally i like much more the S version much more similar to the old Monster) Ok you speak about lean angle ok, First of all how much more is the lean angle, then try to go in the track or maybe just in a mountain pass with R version and if you find an Aprilia Tuono RR ( 3000 euro less) Or SuperDude 1290 R ( 3000e less) then let me know if you dont need more power and the lean angle is enough. This of course is the same out of the track. I make last esample to uderstand what i mean. The new change from the old Diavel and new one XDiavel S that is a chance and justifies the the reason to pass from the old one to the new one. Anyway if you had or you have the S version if you buy the R version then please let me know if we are speaking about a monster so different from the S version.

[@krispysweekendgarage6892]

Ids lust weeeight is all i kept hearing lol wish i had a cool accent

[@MrBlueberrypie44]

All of your videos watch like a commercial

[@Tuesdaysgonewtw]

Way too much money for that bike, surprised they can sell even one of them. You can get a better machine for less money from any number of competitors. And for the record I own a Ducati.

[@leighlinsey1569]

mmmmmmmmm....

[@rdrg7362]

I'd rather take an Aprilia Tuono 1100 Factory

[@nasser1337]

what the fuck is a jucati?

[@daddywill6249]

Israeli motorcycle

[@wildanramdhanirifai]

1200cc for 160 HP.? really no

[@gentleman279]

I think is 140 (rear wheel)

[@rickyboy199554]

It's a Naked bike it's detuned lol

[@exothermal.sprocket]

With bags of torque, yes.

[@Sumpguard]

Jamie can you please review the Yamaha XSR700? Visordown just did a review by the most boring fucker on the planet.

[@lukjno6345]

how the hell he speaks?!?!? ahhaha XD XD

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

Yet another test on a track. Wtf? Can you please get a grip and test the bike in conditions that 90% of people will use the bike for? Test the bike on a road and give people your opinion. Do a track review of course but the main content should be in road conditions and road surfaces.

[@NORxDRONExAT01]

+Gabriel Johannson It's not even a track bike..haha

[@cmelochick]

one of the biggest criticisms of the regular monster 1200 is that it doesn't measure up to the SuperDuke or other naked bikes on the track. The Monster 1200r is the track-oriented version of the Monster

[@JloJrock420]

yes exactly !!!!!!

[@johnfragos7660]

No it is not. Gabriel is correct. The launch of the bike was at a racetrack and what we got from the "journalists" is how the bike behaves on the track ,which will probably be a 2% of its life, if any at all. A very sweet bike

[@freidrichnietzsche6643]

yeah, your choices are the ktm sd-r or the Duc 1200r for big v-twins. Aside from that, you're buying 3+ cylinders with less "lump" and ... perhaps torque... All opinions valid, just sayin. Guys looking in this range, buy a big vtwin for torque and not revs.

[@gackal1982]

does a nice video * doesn,t record the bike,s growl* 👎🏼

[@MemoryLaneCinema]

but the watercooled monster is freaking ugly.
