Is the Ducati Monster 5th Gen suitable for a beginner rider?

Here are some considerations to help decide:

* The Monster is a high-performance naked bike: 111 hp and ~93 Nm torque is a healthy output.

* The weight and ergonomics: one spec shows kerb weight around 188 kg for the 937 cc version in India.

* For a beginner rider, the combination of power + weight + responsiveness means that it may be more challenging to master compared to smaller, less powerful bikes.

* If the “5th Gen” you refer to is the upcoming 2026 model (with the 890 cc engine) note that its ergonomics and usability are improved (lower weight ~175 kg, better chassis) according to early reports.

Conclusion: While it could be ridden by a beginner with proper training and caution, it is not the most beginner-friendly option. A lighter, less powerful bike might be more forgiving for someone entirely new.
