Monster 1200 Sports Bike Review

I will raise my hand. I admit it: When the 2017 Monster 1200 was announced I thought it was a simple facelift. I thought Ducati drizzled some new styling over a quickshifter and a reshaped fuel tank and then begged us to be excited about it. But I wasn’t paying attention. This new machine has significant updates, top to bottom. Easily my favorite part is that Ducati didn’t follow the trend of bigger and more. Instead, the new Monster is more technologically advanced but also narrower and shorter.
New Monster 1200 R review
First of all, I need to specify (lest all stat nerds protest) that the 2017 Monster 1200 does have a taller standard seat height—31.3 inches, up from 30.9 inches, due to a longer shock. More to the point, Ducati made the tail section and tank slimmer by around 20mm (0.75 inches). The tank’s capacity is also down about a quarter of a gallon for 4.4 gallons total. An all-new, shorter swingarm accounts for the 58.5-inch wheelbase, a full inch less than the previous model.

I should also sa2017 Monster 1200 S detailsy the new Monster is not lighter. Ducati claims 465 pounds, four more than the last 1200 S (which tipped our scales at 475 pounds with a full tank). The extra weight for 2017 falls in line with the chat I had with Giuseppe Caprara, project engineer for the new Monster 1200, who said making the bike legal for Euro-4 standards meant making the exhaust bigger, and nearly 4.5 pounds heavier, among other things. That’s not to mention the things the new bike has that the previous model did not: Namely an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a quickshifter.

Ducati 959 Sports Bike Review

Image
On the heels of Sunday’s unveiling of the 2018 Panigale V4 in Milan, Ducati has retired the Panigale 1199/1299. Fear not, though, the V-twin remains a strategic part of the Italian manufacturer’s superb sporting tradition in the form of the 959 Panigale. For the 959—the first Panigale to meet Euro 4 emissions—to evolve into its new spearhead role, Ducati upgraded the bike to Corse spec with top-quality components from Akrapovic, Brembo, Öhlins, and Pirelli. Öhlins is used across the board: a   ducati 959 mm inverted fork, a TTX36 shock, and an adjustable steering damper. Front brakes are from the standard model, with 320mm Brembo discs and four-piston M4.32 calipers. Akrapovic produces the Ti exhaust, which trims a claimed 5.5 pounds from the overall weight of the bike, and a lithium-ion battery replaces the lead-acid unit. Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa tires are standard in 120/70-17 front and 180/60-17 rear sizes. These upgrades are relevant in terms o...
