Motorcycle specifications Ducati 797 Monster + 2018 The start of the show
presentation of the 797 Monster + 2018
For a while, the little Monster disappeared from the catalog. A tall order, since anyone wanting to enter this Italian roadster clan had to take the first step with the 821, which already had a strong engine. And anyone with no taste or appetite for neo-retro could not find salvation with the Scrambler. The verdict is in: the return of an affordable, air-cooled youngster is a wise move.
we find the charm of the Desmodue, a timeless silhouette, a playful and mischievous side, power in keeping with its spirit of discovery and sensations.power to match its spirit of sensory discovery, few electronics (ABS and fuel injection will suffice), comfort, and a few regrets for those who remember the 796. What happened to the single-arm? And the fewer horses.... has time been so greedy?
all of which brings us to the 797 Monster +. It offers more, logically, but not in abundance. It's more like a style pack. The front end gains in confidence with the addition of a small windscreen. At the rear, Ducat adds a seat backrest to give the whole a sporty feel. These two trim elements are in the same tone as the bodywork. The extra cost is reasonable, given the initial price of an M 797. Perhaps that's its main handicap.
Italian styling and chassis with MT-07 flair, for a price higher than that of an 800 Street Triple S, that's enough to give enthusiasts pause for thought.
