If you can spare little more from your pockets & think above the ninja650 & honda cbr650f the monster797 is what you are really worth. Accelerating to more bhp,performance ,handling & the ducati tag badge under your belt can give a fantastic & unimaginable ride. Sure to get the monster out of you.
Known as one of the entry level ducati monsters but can put its rivals down without much efforts .
Beware of the naked 797 who offers you a ride. As always said to be well dressed you have to be well naked as the 797.
Pros: better then its rivals
cons: known as the entry level bike ntn else.

The experience of this bike is good and the looks of the bike are awesome. And this bike actually looks like a monster. I think this is the best naked bike for me. The bike is very smooth. We should take care of the bike. The average is good, if we ride on highway we get more average......
Thank you..

Well, i got my monster 797 for about 8.2 on road, ahmedabad. The bike looks really good and feels good as well, the riding and braking is 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 pros and cons
Pros:- great looking, extra stylish, red color looks amazing, excellent braking and eye catching dash
Cons:- not much aftermarkets available, not great exhaust sound, 2 cylinder 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 cylinder, 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
You want speed, thrill and power ;- kawasaki
P.S: - i hear alot 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
