Ducati Monster 797 2017

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.

Even after three years, the Yamaha MT-07 is still a public favourite. No one else beats such a price-performance ratio. The two-cylinder engine is powerful, but can be dosed very gently at low revs. The display is also one of the best in this class, with good readability. Only the chassis is disappointing. In a sporty riding style, it is simply too soft, which can cause the MT-07 to sway.
