Overview

The Ducati Monster 937 Plus is an icon reborn — the most recognizable naked bike in motorcycling history, now featuring the 937cc Testastretta 11-degree L-twin engine that delivers 111 hp and 93 Nm of torque with Ducati's signature V-twin exhaust note. As the most accessible full-size Ducati in the Philippine market, the Ducati Monster 937 price Philippines starts at ₱875,000, competing against the Triumph Street Triple 765 and Kawasaki Z900 in the premium naked-bike segment. The Monster Plus variant adds a small flyscreen and a passenger seat cover for a sportier silhouette. Standard equipment includes a bidirectional quickshifter, three riding modes (Sport, Touring, Urban), cornering ABS, Ducati Traction Control (DTC), and a full-color TFT dashboard with Ducati Multimedia System connectivity. At just 188 kg dry, the Monster boasts one of the best power-to-weight ratios of any naked bike available in the Philippines. With 937cc displacement, it is classified as a Class 1 expressway vehicle on all Philippine toll roads.

Expressway Driving Review

The Ducati Monster 937 turns every expressway ride into an event, with the L-twin engine delivering a surge of torque that makes NLEX and SLEX overtakes thrillingly immediate. In Touring riding mode, the throttle response is smoothed and the traction control sensitivity increased, creating a comfortable 100-120 km/h cruise that lets you enjoy the V-twin's characterful beat at approximately 4,800 rpm in 6th gear. The quickshifter is seamless in both directions, making gear changes through toll plaza approach zones effortless without touching the clutch. Wind protection is limited even with the Plus flyscreen — at 120 km/h on Skyway Stage 3, you are fully exposed to wind blast, and an aftermarket windscreen is advisable for regular expressway use. The cornering ABS system is genuinely confidence-inspiring, allowing aggressive braking even mid-corner on wet expressway surfaces during typhoon season. Vibration from the L-twin is characterful rather than harsh, though some riders notice a buzz through the handlebars in the 4,000-5,000 rpm range. Fuel efficiency averages 19 km/L on expressways, providing roughly 266 km range on the 14-liter tank — adequate for a Manila-to-Clark run but tight for a full Manila-to-Baguio trip without refueling. The sport-naked riding position puts moderate weight on your wrists, causing fatigue after about 2 hours of continuous highway riding.

Ducati Monster 937 Plus FAQ

How much is the Ducati Monster 937 in the Philippines?
The Ducati Monster 937 Plus retails at ₱875,000 in the Philippines as of 2026. It is available through authorized Ducati dealers in Metro Manila and Cebu. The Monster Plus is the sole variant offered in the Philippine market.
What is the monthly installment for Ducati Monster 937?
With a 20% down payment of ₱175,000 and a 36-month financing term at approximately 9-10% annual interest, the monthly installment for the Monster 937 Plus is around ₱23,500-₱24,800 per month. Ducati Philippines partners with select banks for premium motorcycle financing.
What is the fuel consumption of Ducati Monster on NLEX?
On NLEX at a steady 100 km/h cruising speed in Touring mode, the Ducati Monster 937 achieves approximately 19 km/L. This provides roughly 266 km range on the 14-liter fuel tank. In Sport mode with aggressive riding, consumption drops to around 15-16 km/L. Plan a fuel stop for any expressway trip exceeding 200 km.
Ducati Monster 937 vs Triumph Street Triple 765 — which is better?
The Monster has more displacement (937 vs 765cc), more torque (93 vs 80 Nm), and Ducati's iconic L-twin character. The Street Triple has a higher-revving triple-cylinder engine, more precise handling, and slightly lower pricing. For expressway touring, the Monster's low-end torque advantage makes highway overtaking more effortless. For mixed riding, the Street Triple is slightly more versatile.
Is the Ducati Monster 937 good for beginners?
The Monster 937 is not recommended for beginners. Its 111 hp output and sharp throttle response, even in Urban mode, demand experienced throttle control. The 188 kg weight is manageable, but the power level is significant. Riders should have at least 2 years of experience on middleweight bikes like a Monster 400 or Ninja 650 before stepping up to the Monster 937.
Does the Ducati Monster 937 have ABS?
Yes, the Monster 937 Plus comes equipped with Bosch cornering ABS, which adjusts braking force based on lean angle — a more advanced system than standard ABS. It also features Ducati Traction Control (DTC) with 8 levels of intervention. Both systems are critical safety features for wet expressway conditions.
What are common issues with the Ducati Monster 937?
Common owner concerns include the expensive Desmo valve service at 15,000 km intervals (₱25,000-₱35,000), limited Ducati dealer access in the Philippines (4 centers), and the L-twin engine running hot in slow Metro Manila traffic. The quick-drying battery can be an issue if the bike sits unused for extended periods. Parts availability for crash repairs can take 4-8 weeks from Italy.
Is the Ducati Monster 937 expressway-legal in the Philippines?
Yes. The Monster 937 has a 937cc engine, well above the 400cc minimum requirement for Philippine expressways. It is classified as a Class 1 vehicle for toll purposes, paying the same rate as cars at all toll plazas on NLEX, SLEX, Skyway, CALAX, CAVITEX, and other expressways.
How much is insurance for the Ducati Monster 937?
Comprehensive motorcycle insurance for the Monster 937 in the Philippines costs approximately ₱35,000-₱52,500 per year, roughly 4-6% of the motorcycle's ₱875,000 value. CTPL (Compulsory Third Party Liability) alone costs around ₱1,500-₱2,500 annually. Given Ducati's premium parts pricing, comprehensive coverage with agreed value is strongly recommended.
Can the Ducati Monster 937 carry a passenger on the expressway?
The Monster 937 Plus includes a removable seat cowl that reveals a compact passenger seat and footpegs when removed. Two-up riding is possible but not comfortable for extended expressway trips — the rear seat is small and the sport-naked ergonomics put the pillion in an elevated, exposed position. For occasional short expressway hops with a passenger it is adequate, but for regular two-up touring, consider the Ducati Multistrada instead.
