I have to admit, I've been pretty attracted to the Monster series for quite a while.

[@barebonesmc]

[@jfoz7602]

Great video. I’ve just purchased last week a 1993 original Monster M900 and absolutely love it 🤩

[@erebus_nyx4294]

Gorgeous motorcycle! Only what you need is indeed the best way to describe her! Always happy when new video is out!

[@robertscheinost179]

I had an E-type Jag that all you said applied.

I love the look of the monster. I also like the sv650. Less is more.

[@barebonesmc]

good point well put mate 🙂Cheers for the comment. Ride Free 🙂

[@aashutoshbhagat2677]

The new monster doesn't look monster enough but it handles and performed better than 821 and 1200 models . And that's why it is forgiven. But i love these old OG air-oil cooled monsters even the 797 which was pegged as a beginner bike in their line-up. I hope they can make a monster out of the 698 mono engine and frame in the future. That would be diabolical for a entry level bike❤💥😌😎🤌.

[@barebonesmc]

had a ride following an old Monster and the 600 mono (i refuse to call it a 698, its not lol) the mono took off like a rocket but did seem to run out of steam a bit beside the Vstrom and Monster but i dont know how many miles he had done so he might have been being gently

[@seanhammon6639]

Deadly!

[@barebonesmc]

why?

[@wolfdog7265]

A fancy Yamaha XJ 1300 with maybe some more frame stiffness and grunt but also some serious reliability issues….

[@barebonesmc]

quite a lot lighter than the XJ i think 🙂

[@pmwaffle9348]

70-80lbs lighter and no reliability issues except on the non-rs s4 models because it uses the 996 engine

[@noahwail2444]

Just as they came out, I wanted one desperatly. I found it so incredibly beatifull, and the most desireble bike in the world. I had a picture on my fridge, just to make me do what ever I could, to get one. Untill I had the chanse to sit on one... It was just so SMALL! Or, perhaps, I was to big. We realy didn´t fit, but I still have that feeling when I see one. And the old ones are the best...

[@barebonesmc]

great bikes , but yep, finding the right bike for the person is more important 🙂 Cheers for watching mate. Ride Free 🙂

[@robertscheinost179]

The Italians always had a different philosophy when it comes to building motorcycles.......Thank god they did! Ride safe, be free Bro, cheers!

[@stevied6286]

Indeed they have..They forget reliability, affordability and simplicity and build unreliable over-priced , over-complex yet beautiful machines that pamper the ego and the soul..at least when they are not having extortionate maintenance and repairs 🙈. I have one, and whilst it is bloody Brilliant it's also a complete money-pit and whilst I love it, I also hate it for all that over-complex nonsense and it will be my first and last Ducati so I look at all the Ducati's and think "Oh -Yes that's beautiful", closely followed by " No-Way Hosé!! 🙈🙈

Stevie, if we all thought the same it would be a boring world mate, 🙂Cheers for watching. Ride Free 🙂

[@stevied6286]

@@barebonesmc that's so true..one dream is another's nightmare.. I was getting all wide eyed and excited over a Suzuki SB200 with AllSpeed pipes on eBay earlier..lovely 🤣. Love your Videos..they have an air of Authority that only comes from a lifetime being around bikes..same for me but I'm a grumpy old "stick in the mud" these days but secretly I love everything with 2 wheels and an engine somewhere in/on/in-between! Keep up the great work!

[@barebonesmc]

thanks for your support 🙂Cheers for adding your bit too mate. Ride Free 🙂

[@RMVDog]

888 frame and its solid handling. What's not to like?

[@barebonesmc]

[@andypandy9931]

I have a M900 in the garage I haven't ridden for a couple of years through age (mine not the bike) It's great on the open road, sounds gorgeous apart from the clutch when standing still, is awful in town, looks great, I think, and has been very reliable for the past 15 years.

[@barebonesmc]

Great bikes 🙂Cheers for adding your bit mate. Ride Free 🙂

[@worldtraveler8613]

I hope Ducati brings back the trellis frame. I don't like the look of the latest monster

[@barebonesmc]

A good point well put mate, you arent the only one to say that 🙂Cheers for the comment. Ride Free 🙂

[@Australian_Made]

👍

🙂Cheers for watching and for the comment mate. Ride Free 🙂

[@jonm7272]

Basically, just built a nice streetfighter out of an existing sports bike. Nothing original there though, we were all doing that in the 90s, only we used to crash them first 😂🤣😂

[@barebonesmc]

glad you enjoyed it mate 🙂 Theres plenty more on the channel and the website, let me know what you think. hope youll climb aboard. We do have a great bunch as subscribers and i can thoroughly recomend reading some of the comments too, some funny and most informative too. Cheers for watching. Ride Free 🙂

[@Toxicdemon2]

I don't get what people like about dry clutches.... Sounds like the engine is broken. I prefere a wet clutch on a Ducati

[@barebonesmc]

Im not saying everyone does, I like hearing the mechanical sounds. but if we all thought the same it would be a boring world mate, 🙂Cheers for watching. Ride Free 🙂

[@gusklemp3477]

Always wanted one, but my friends say that Monsters are for girls.....😅

[@plap.]

they obviously never rode one.

[@barebonesmc]

ask Ana Carrasco if you can catch her 🙂
