That said, long highway comfort is moderate. Overall, the Monster is an excellent all-rounder for daily rides and spirited weekend runs.

On Target

The Monster is Ducati's naked weapon which has undergone many core changes over the years. Goes up against the Z900.

What We Like

Despite its big-bike positioning, it is rather easy to ride, the handling is sharp, and the design is tasteful.

What We Do Not Like

Most of the premium hardware is limited to the Monster SP, and servicing can be costlier than rivals in this segment.

Expert Verdict on Monster

4.5

Expert Rating

The Ducati Monster continues to be a benchmark in the naked segment. Its blend of style, performance, and agility makes it fun across varied conditions. Suitable for both new and experienced riders, it’s predictable yet lively. The lack of wind protection and plush comfort limits its touring potential, but as a fun-focused road bike, it’s a strong package.
