Ducati Monster 797 User Reviews
- Awesome Bike On The RoadsWell, I got my Ducati monster 797 for about 8.2 on the road. The bike looks really good and feels good as well, the riding and braking are smooth and comfortable. Long rides are fun and yes chicks do dig the motorcycle. As a rider, I previously owned a Harley so this was quite a huge leap from cruiser to sports. Now let's get straight to the pros and cons Cons:- not many aftermarkets available, not great exhaust sound, 2 cylinders and air-cooled ( not recommended in India), offers 75bhp The biggest rival which is Kawasaki is offering z900 at almost the same price of 8.5-8.6 on road, with liquid-cooled, inline 4 cylinders, 950 cc and 125bhp with great exhaust sound. Conclusion:- you want to look stylish and pose and have little fun rides, then go for Ducati. If you want speed, thrill and power then do not purchase it. P.S: - I hear a lot of people saying Japanese bikes are expensive to maintain, let me tell you, they all are expensive, yes the Ducati is also expensive to maintain. Salvation value of Ducati is slightly higher than Kawasaki due to higher brand name and more customers looking for it.Read More1
