Ducati Monster 937 Review

Used Buyer Review

The 937 is the Monster that finally made sense. Ducati ditched the old trellis frame and went full-frame, added Cornino swingarm, and suddenly you've got a bike that feels genuinely sorted rather than characterful-but-flawed. The 937cc Testastretta twin pulls hard from low revs, sounds absolutely savage through the mids, and doesn't punish you for riding it like a normal human being. It's genuinely comfortable for a naked bike. Buying used, check the service history obsessively — Ducatis need their valve clearances done on schedule and owners skip it. The 6,000-mile service isn't cheap. Also inspect the fuel pump recall status; some early units had issues. Fairings and tank plastics scratch if someone's dropped it in a car park, so inspect carefully and negotiate hard on cosmetic damage. For the money on the used market right now, nothing Italian touches it. Just budget £500-800 extra for that first service if it's been neglected.
