Overview

Introducing the 2018 Ducati Monster 797 Plus, a striking addition to the esteemed Monster lineage that has captivated motorcycle enthusiasts since its inception. Positioned firmly in the naked bike segment, this model embodies the perfect fusion of iconic Italian design and exhilarating performance. With its lightweight frame and nimble handling, the Monster 797 Plus is tailored for both urban commuters and spirited weekend riders, making it a versatile choice for those who crave an authentic motorcycling experience. At the heart of the Monster 797 Plus lies a robust 803cc V2, four-stroke engine that delivers an exhilarating 73 horsepower at 8,250 RPM, effortlessly propelling riders through city streets and winding roads alike. The engine’s peak torque of 67 Nm at 5,750 RPM ensures that acceleration is both responsive and thrilling, providing a rush of power whenever you twist the throttle. The meticulously engineered air-cooled system coupled with a 6-speed gearbox ensures that riders enjoy smooth gear transitions and a satisfying ride, while the bike’s fuel consumption of just 5.30 liters per 100 km (44.38 MPG) means you can spend more time on the road and less time at the pump. Beyond performance, the Monster 797 Plus boasts a host of features that elevate the riding experience. The tubular steel trellis frame not only enhances the bike's aesthetics but also contributes to its agility and stability in various riding conditions. With top-tier components like the 43mm Kayaba USD fork and adjustable Sachs monoshock in the rear, riders can fine-tune their suspension settings to match their preferences. Safety is paramount, and the inclusion of advanced ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) on both the front and rear brakes ensures confident stopping power, whether you’re navigating tight corners or cruising down the highway. The electric starter and 16.5-liter fuel tank further enhance the convenience of this motorcycle, making it an excellent companion for both short commutes and longer journeys. **

Pros

  • Agile Handling: Lightweight design and a well-balanced frame provide exceptional maneuverability, perfect for urban riding and winding roads.
  • Strong Performance: The 803cc engine delivers impressive power and torque, making acceleration exhilarating and enjoyable.
  • Stylish Design: The Monster 797 Plus features Ducati’s iconic styling, with a modern twist that appeals to both new riders and seasoned enthusiasts.

Cons

  • Limited Wind Protection: As a naked bike, the Monster 797 Plus offers minimal wind protection, which may not be ideal for long-distance touring.
  • Adjustable Seat Height: While the seat height is accessible for many riders, those with shorter inseams may find it slightly challenging to manage at stops.
  • Storage Options: The bike offers limited storage solutions, making it less practical for riders who require additional carrying capacity for everyday use.
