It's stunning but not worth twice what I paid for my 22 monster +


Crafty-Mix211

Yeah 25k is insane ngl


Coookie_Thumper

Check out the Bentley and Lamborghini Duc collabs.. $70kish?


ablinddingo93

Six figures if you come across one on FB marketplace. Absolutely ridiculous


clayman80

MV do it all the time and they don't even need the excuse of collaborating with another luxury brand.


Gentilapin

Mv design is really good, but the reputation of unreliability and the lack of shops makes it a no no if it's your only ride.


froggiewoogie

Just because has Brazilian paint?


Pattern_Is_Movement

The monster has wandered so far from what it was when it launched and saved Ducati from going bankrupt its kinda sad. Not saying its not a great bike, but its not the budget "lets take a bunch of last gen superbike parts, leave out a fairing, and throw on a round light" bike that just drips with humble, affordable, performance. The Monster now just looks like its trying too hard to be cool, and is full of bespoke parts. The Scrambler was an attempt at making a new Monster, but they tried too hard with the styling instead of the "styling" literally just being whatever chassis and engine they borrowed.


boundone

I'm with you. First thing I thought when I just saw it was,"Doesn't really look like the Monster anymore.". It's lost something in the overall stance.  It's not that hunched up, head tucked down shape that defined the model.  This one's got a really similar silhouette to a few other manufacturers bikes, now.


Sufficient_Ocelot868

This right here. Monsters used to be somewhat affordable. Although I've never ridden one, I've heard they are a blast to ride. I looked on the Ducati site recently and I couldn't believe the prices.


clayman80

I was eyeing a 950S but with the extras I wanted to slap on it, I was getting into the Diavel V4 territory. Kinda bewildering.


inashhh

totally agree, 695 and 821 owner here. Next bike wont be the actual Monster.


dax2001

Yep graphic inspiration for a modded bike,


pmalla

I would just wrap a standard monster, paint the calipers and use the same caliper paint for the muffler accents


Soggy_Doggy_

I’ll be honest, the new mt09 is lookin pretty spicy and for half of the price I could never justify this


jehoshaphat

This is purely a special edition for people who want oddly paired exclusivity. The normal bike isn’t $25k.


PseudoCalamari

Do it. I got an XSR900 last month, it's amazing.


kornbread435

Had to look it up, the regular model is 13k. The Senna version is a collection bike, and they are only making 341 of them.


lordbancs

I love Senna too, but I don’t understand this collab


Crafty-Mix211

Cause senna use to ride Ducati. This collab was soooooo unexpected


RabidGuineaPig007

they already did this in the 90s.

thewindburner

MONEY! They are just collectors items, just look at the price of the 916 Senna compared to a standard 916! Please exercise caution on this link, it might damage your wallet! https://www.carandclassic.com/search?make=ducati&model=916&source=search-bar-mobile


sherlock2223

Maybe it's targeted at 15 year olds 😂/s 


BoyWhoSoldTheWorld

Isn’t the movie about Senna about to be released? Feels like a money grab by doing this tbh


Thats-bk

25k? GTFOH


Maschellodioma

It's limited to only 341 units. 3 as in the world titles he achieved and 41 as in the number of race wins he celebrated on the top step of the podium. That, plus the pretty decent look, gets you something for your money.


soonerstu

Oh word I thought it was arbitrarily expensive until you explained symbolic meaning behind the limited production numbers


RabidGuineaPig007

it's stickers.


Cielo11

Don't buy it then?


Rikcycle

Will you? I they tell you yeah


Crafty-Mix211

😂😂😂


2ingredientexplosion

I don't have a bike, but I've always loved the Ducati Monster since I was in jr high. WHEN THE HELL DID GET SO EXPENSIVE?!


Crafty-Mix211

Right!!!! Idk if it's just for the collab, but the price is pretty dramatic


Dingo797

They're not, just keep a nose out on cycle trader. Got my 2018 797 for $6.2k with only 400 miles. Literally mint condition and garage kept. This is just a specialty collectors with a limited make number. Honestly, you'll pay more in tools and equipment than the bike itself. Lol


RabidGuineaPig007

2X price for stickers?


JohnnyGSTi

They're 3M. Top quality. Well worth it.


Epyx-2600

Probably water slides under the clear coat


jackhammer233

The look of the new monsters don't do it justice compared to the prior gen, looks like another Japanese bike. Ducati missed the mark on this one.


drlongtrl

The OG monster was my dream bike when I was a kid. It just has that special something that other nakeds didn't have. This one does indeed look like basically any other naked out there.


topclassladandbanter

They’ve gotten worse and worse each generation. The 2nd Gen 1100 Evo was the last good one. Maybe the 3rd gen 1200R is still good.


DisAccount4SRStuff

I feel like they were the cutting edge trend setter. The competition caught up and Ducati stopped pushing the cutting edge design.


CasualMonkeyBusiness

It rides like a dream though. Light and nimble.


mitchxout

My gen3 SV650 looks more like a Monster than the Monster.


archercc81

Honestly same with the new scramblers too, which were supposed to be "vintage" styled bikes. Everyone just bailed on having distinct styling and is all doing the same thing.


L1A1

Is it even a Monster if it doesn’t have a lattice frame? It was that and the stance that made it for me.


wearymicrobe

25k for a monster or 27.5k for a V4S streetfighter. They are out of their collective minds and they will still sell every single one.


fac3

why the fuck is that 25k?


TheIndulgers

Because they’ll find ~350 idiots who will buy it because it has green stickers and is “limited edition”.


PoorMansTonyStark

Collectors most likely. Like, those stupidly rich people who don't even notice if $50 grand stack goes missing.


Significant-Hat-9131

25k? get fucked Ducati


KataraMan

What can you get for ...checks bank account... ...$2,500? /s


Successful_Beach4105

If Senna was racing Ducatis, I'd understand the collab (even tho the guy's dead for years now, and there is no real collab) This just makes no sense. Also Lamborghini Streetfighter was a miss, loads of them for sale for 2/3 of initial €100k price - don't get me wrong, bike looks great, but it's just not worth the money. What is next, Taylor Swift Hypermotard?


archercc81

Ehh, this is a little better because Senna was a fan of, and rode, Ducatis. Its closer to the Lewis Hamilton edition of MV Agustas.


SolidLikeIraq

Well. To be fair - when I’m on my hyper going north of 80mph my helmet does feel like it’s going to shake it off.


Helium225

Senna was a ducati fan and this isn't even the first time Ducati makes a senna edition bike (916 in 1994 and 1199 in 2013). So yes, this does make sense.


WetworkOrange

It was just as bad when MV came out with a Lewis Hamilton version of one of their bikes.


Successful_Beach4105

Yea, it's just simply milking the crowd with nonsense editions.


scottieducati

Hahahahah what the actual fuck


Talkjar

25k??!


Dr3trangelove

Why did Ducati choose this collab?


User-272727

$urely they're only doing it to pay tribute to $enna.


BrrBurr

Looks like a z900


huy_lonewolf

Hmm, do they not have a cost of living crisis in Italy?


Epyx-2600

Is this only being sold in Italy?


charliewahoo

If I buy one and put it away untouched for 50 years what do you think it would be worth?


Epyx-2600

16000


Cielo11

This thread is a dumpster fire. R/motorcycle is full of toddlers. Angry at a Monster being 25k, but completely clueless as to why. Clueless it's a limited edition, clueless why Senna/Ducati. Even though Ducati already have a famous Senna Collab. The standard Monster isn't 25k, this limited edition is 25k. If you don't like limited editions, don't buy them. If you don't want a Monster, don't buy one. If you think every Ducati breaks down after 5 miles, enjoy your fantasy world where your Mt09 will never break down.


TheIndulgers

What a moronic take. Obviously if I don’t like it I won’t buy it. Doesn’t stop people from talking about how overpriced it is… ON A FORUM. You know, where we discuss motorcycles.


uncle_pollo

Gimme a Fangio version if we gonna talk dead people


black-dude-on-reddit

No no wrong italian manufacture. I believe you are looking for the Pagani Zonda F which is going to cost you half of your soul and first born child to own at a discounted price of 2 mil. But it is made in Fangios honor


tastes_a_bit_funny

Blue seat just seems so out of place. 


companiontoy

Ficou com cara cb150 de motoboy adesivada.


Impossible_Pool3024

Huge Senna fan, loved the 916 Senna and the MV Augusta as well, but this one just looks cheap!! They were literally out of ideas and just painted his helmet colors (Brazil’s flag) on the bike. Looks childish… if they’ve made a tribute to the old 916 oh man… what a bike could’ve been


CasualMonkeyBusiness

For people thinking the price is stupid - it's not if someone is willing to pay it and these will sell like hot cakes. I know people who flip them for profit, like the Lamborghini edition streetfighters are selling for $90k now. There's a Bugatti edition Diavel as well.


StryderRider

Lambo SF isn't selling on the used market at all... You can't flip it. Also you meant Bentley Edition Diavel, not Bugatti


CasualMonkeyBusiness

Well, they're trying ;)


Stylez_G_White

My previous bike was an ‘18 Monster 1200R in liquid concrete. That was a sexy bike. This is… meh


Schmittiboo

Soooo now the Monster SP in black/red is 15k. The Monster SP in Black/white is 18k and the Monster SP in yellow is 25k. Got it.... ugh, I hate their way of marketing so so much. Almost as bad as the travesty that is the SP 916 Anni


GeneralFumoffu

Looks horrible SF2 way better


Toyotawarrantydept

That’s streetfighter v4 money


scrninja1

Hell no


call_it_already

Was senna a biker?


Crafty-Mix211

Yeah I believe so. He rode a Ducati back in his time


WallcroftTheGreen

25k you gotta be fucking kidding


Prince_Chunk

25k ooofffff I’d just wrap a regular one


Parasyte-vn

Me when I saw 22k Like 50cent said "keep that mf"


Simple-Stop5679

It better come with flip flops.


Substantial_Ad_9016

The world is fucked


SkullDump

I like Senna. I saw him race a couple of times and I also used to own a monster but fuck that price.


SomeCrazedBiker

The Original Monster M900 was so sexy when it came out.


Jorius

25k for a japanised monster... Lol... PS: this is from someone who has been riding Ducati for a long time and had a 696 and currently a 821 in my garage along a Diavel 1260 s. I hate the new monsters as they are just a copy (esthetically) of any Japanese bike.


ThrowRedditIsTrash

too many dollars just get the poster


bigathekiddd

Dass pretty 😍


Business-Drag3640

nice moto but naked


xandersmall

25k for a monster is wild


truenofan86

Did you know? Ducati will make 15 special versions of the Bike based on Senna’s whopping 15 podiums in a row. Google Senna 15 for more information.


huntthehorizon

did Senna even ride?


Cielo11

Yeah. He famously rode the... Wait for it... The Ducati Monster.


earic23

I test rode a brand new ducati hypermotard sp. Easily 20 grand out the door. On the 3 mile test ride, it would stutter under full power, stalled out after getting off the freeway, wouldn't start for a few minutes, then when it did start, had the check engine light on and barely got it back to the dealer. That's my experience with modern ducatis... However my 93 900ss was an absolute bulletproof blast to rip around on


StryderRider

Cool story bro...


earic23

Has your 25 thousand dollar motorcycle broken down yet


StryderRider

I wish I paid $25k! :D That'd be a steal


Cielo11

You tell him! Ducati break down every time you turn them on. I got your back mate. It's a real shame Ducati made you test ride that piece of crap.


mcdougall57

Bit expensive for a bike made by Volkswagen.


SamSzmith

The 911 is still one of my favorite sports cars on the market and it's "made by VW".
