anyone with a ducati monster

im thinking about picking up a 09 ducati monster 1100. just wanted some input on how you like it. likes and dislikes

Its a cool bike, comfortable, but not much wind protection. It is fun and flickable, the torque is great (I have not ridden an 1100, just a 900S), but it will get left by more "sporting" bikes on twisty roads. Up to 8/10ths it will keep up with anything and you will have more fun and be more comfortable, beyond that...well much over 8/10ths should be taken to the track.

What are you going to use it for?

really just for sunday cruises, nice nights and leisurely riding. i dont want another sport bike because it MAKES you wanna go fast. i figured ive always loved the monster, looks great, nice power and will keep me more humble than a sport bike

Then it sounds like the perfect bike for you right now.

Don't forget to post pics after you get it.

If you're looking at a Ducati Monster... then you should also check out the Triumph Speed Triple.
It's a 1050cc and a great looking bike as well.

If I were to buy a touring bike it'd be the Speed Triple.

that too is a beautiful bike, gotta love that ducati vtwin and dry clutch sound though

The 3's sound sick as well... go check out both. Either way you'll be happy.

Sounds like a good time to get a good divorce lawyer!

My wife feels the same way about bikes

MisterSkiMask · 06-18-2009, 04:07 PM

super sad

Good thing I have a bike before a wife... that is one thing I will not have to worry about

KiokenM3 · 06-18-2009, 05:03 PM

my sales guy at the ducati dealer said just get the bike and let the wife get mad at you. i considered it but it isnt worth the heartache. i'll keep nagging her to see if she gives in. she told me to go buy another watch instead so i might do that, hahaha
