Depending on which member of my family you ask, I am currently riding either Batman’s bike or Wolverine’s bike. I’m not fussed whose bike it is. The important thing for them to tell people, is that I won it from them in a good old-fashioned match of fisticuffs.
The Monster. Often lauded as the bike that saved Ducati from financial ruin. It’s a bike so quintessentially Ducati, that riding one should be a very good indicator of what a Ducati is. If you like riding a Monster, there is every chance you will like riding Ducatis and twins in general. I lived with one for the better part of a month.
On a snowy, freezing Winter evening I retreated to the garage to talk through the first 1000 miles on my 2016 Ducati Panigale. The good, the bad and the incredible.
“Christ! It sounds like Thor’s hammer smashing an anvil”
You can probably guess if you read my 1299 review, that I didn’t need much convincing to ask the fine fellows at Ducati Manchester if they had any 1299 Panigales available before Christmas. There was one.
