Ducati Monster 796 2012

Ducati Monster 796 2012

The monster doesn't really stand a chance against nerds. But the bella donnas are brought out with passion. After "Colour Therapy", which included 10 classic Italian motorbike colours, comes "Logomania" in 2010, with which Ducati pays homage to its own history with classic designs.

Insane, economical fuel consumption

emotionalised driving experience

ABS

convertibility.

Inferior in performance to the competition from Honda.

Ducati Monster 1200 S 2015

Ducati Monster 1200 S 2015

Ducati returns to consistency and brings out more of the classic character of the Monster, while the design has been sharpened in small steps: Shorter tail, shorter wheelbase, smaller tank. The engine has become cleaner and more powerful at the same time, the electronics more comprehensive. In addition to ABS and TC, the Monster also has wheelie control, and the S version even has cornering ABS. The standard quickshifter underlines the sportiness of the Monster, which could be more aggressive in its power delivery. On the other hand, these 150 hp can be ridden by a very wide range of customers.

Top chassis hardware

timeless design

strong brakes, intuitive menu navigation

automatic gearshift as standard

Unconventional handling

not of high quality in every detail

lacks punch
