guys greeting
its almost an year now that i have own a m796 just 2 months short now italians have done some good job and well lacked in some fields (just a personal opinion) i have clicked few thousand ks now the good part is the bike still excites me my friends ride busa intruders and blades i have never ever failed in keeping with them in straights and in corners i have had them bleed through their arses(lol). Monster has a different identity from japs there is no comparison they are so different just like polarity. there are few drawbacks that i have noticed like lack of ground clearance the pegs bed in tooo soon something that can take lots of money to fix(rear set for monster ain't cheap) and too much of counter steer to make a super fast turn (i love it ) but that fries the rear tyre fast my tyre can turn blueish at the edges needs a replacement i think because now it has strated sliding the other downside is when riding in rain the foot pegs turn too slippery even for riding boots (i use agv sport sebring) could be the boots fault also and the the chassis is really heavy on knee sliders a hundred km ride in mountains can result in new sliders every time (something that i love to spend on) the bike is returning me 12 kms in mountains and 17 kms on highway (i have a very heavy throttle hand ) the dealer told me if is ride sane it can return upto 23 kms to a liter but whats the point if u want average go buy urself a cbr250 italians are good at making u feel 18 again horse power is nothing if u don't know how to use it

Welcome to the ducati club , I do understand every word of your excitement , its a piece of art and heritage parked right in your garage. NO matter how old the bike gets it will never fall short of exciting you. Am sure even after couple of years you will open your garage and look at the beaut parked in and smile and the sense of ownership and pride And every time you hop on her ( I know it sounds wrong ), you will be thrilled like netldp before , and every time you twist the throttle , the sound and the torque the twin produces will leave you like a 16 year old chick giggling under your helmet. Yes sure ducatis have their problems , but it has a soul like none other. If you have any trouble visit Ducati.ms - The Ultimate Ducati Forum , largest portal for ducati , xmv will find all your answers and more , ride safe fellow ducatisti

Hi there fellow monster owner!

Not sure how I missed the thread and not sure either why the thread is dead. One of the reasons I can think of is lack of pics

Agree with you on your impressions mate. As for riding with the other bikes goes, its just not about the HP, torque or the cc. Its the way the power is delivered to the rider. And in that the Ducati is a marvel. You just have to appreciate the way these Italians combine the styling and engineering into one soulful entity.

Would love to read more from you. Where are you located BTW?
