However, both bikes have their weaknesses. The Ducati Monster 2023 is criticized for its engine jerking strongly at low revs, front fork being tuned too softly, and the lack of a trellis frame, which makes it less recognizable as a Monster. The Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2020, on the other hand, requires high revs for fear in the saddle and can have a somewhat rough engine response in city traffic and everyday life. It is also said to have tippy handling at low speeds and strongly changing engine noise depending on speed and flap position.

In conclusion, while both the Ducati Monster 2023 and the Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2020 are powerful naked bikes from Ducati, they have their own unique strengths and weaknesses. The Monster 2023 offers a comfortable and agile riding experience with advanced rider assistance systems, while the Streetfighter V4 S provides an exhilarating and sporty ride with top-level electronics and a powerful engine.

Ducati Monster 2023

Ducati Monster 2023

You can always argue about the looks and the lack of a trellis frame, but the current Monster is anything but ugly. Basically, it would be a great everyday naked bike with pleasant ergonomics and a braking system that does not surprise even the inexperienced. The rather soft chassis can also be considered an acceptable compromise, but for a Ducati it is rather surprising that at least the front fork was not tuned a little tighter. Unfortunately, the charismatic engine bucks strongly at low revs and thus only shows its wonderful V2 character on the country road. All in all, however, this reflects the overall image of the Monster very well: a typical Ducati that is also good for everyday riding in terms of chassis and brakes.

Typical Ducati powerplant with charisma

comfortable seating position

good, responsive braking system

agile handling

high-quality components

comprehensive electronics package

cornering ABS

lean angle-dependent traction control.

Engine jerks strongly at low revs

front fork tuned too softly

no longer unmistakably a Monster due to the lack of a trellis frame.

Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2020

The bike has taken much of its sporty roots from the Panigale. This will delight friends of the streetfighter. Electronics and engine power are superior, the chassis is radically fast and the machine rules in stopwatch duels. However, it has rough edges. The big surprise: you sit well on the noble beast and can actually ride it on extended tours!

Electronics package at the absolute top level

High-revving and brutally powerful engine

Very agile handling

Surprisingly comfortable seating position even for tall riders

Powerful brakes

Sporty, high-quality chassis

Great aerodynamics - stable wind conditions even in the saddle

Looks to die for

For fear in the saddle, revs are necessary - no steam hammer from the basement

In city traffic and everyday life somewhat rough engine response

Tippy handling at low speeds

Strongly changing engine noise - depending on speed and flap position.
