Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Monster 797 2017

The Ducati Monster 797 is a great entry into the Monster family. Great V2 sound and great looks make it a fully-fledged Ducati Monster family member. The seating position is sporty, which makes chasing times on the home track a real pleasure. In everyday use, however, you have to bite the bullet when it comes to the suspension. The set-up is hard as a board, and bumps are passed on directly to the driver. Very exhausting in the long run.

Powerful engine

great sound

easy-to-read display

classy look

too hard a chassis
