      Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the new Monster available only in the red-black colour combination? Does anyone know if you can still get a white one in the new variant when it comes to India?

        ^ @ Siddharth: This might happen later, but as of now, NO, Monster 795 is available in only Red Color.

        With a dry weight of 167 kgs only and higher power, this bike might eat GT and Ninja for breakfast itself, in performance terms.

          It appears no one told Ducati, it is illegal to mount freakishly good looking bazookas in the place of exhausts.

              Hmm, thought so much, I know the importance of the RED Ducati, but the white Monster looked very good. Just hope they come out with it soon.

              The Monster has almost 150cc more, i.e. 15 BHP more than those two, plus the desmo valves.But it is not really built for that kind of performance. I mean naked bike with no wind protection means you really can't cruise for long at 150+. In addition, it is more expensive and harder to maintain. Then again, the other two weigh 200+ kg, means the power-weight ratio is awesome on the Monster.

                How does 150cc "mean" 15 bhp?? I am perplexed......

                  I beg your pardon if my past statement to which you have so kindly referred to with the remark "I am perplexed....." put you in sort of confusion regarding the techincal specification and engine dynamics of a modern-day motorcycle engine. Sorry if the aforementioned statement was confusing, but you should attempt to comprehend the general direction of my explanation that it has 150cc more AND also 15 BHP. (Monster is 87 BHP; GT650 and N650 both produce somewhere in the vicinity of 72 BHP). I hope my math is not as bad as my English

                  P.S.: It's all in good humour my dear friend.

                            Just Kidding. I do agree that the Ducati is much better than the mentioned competition. Contemplating one myself. A fitting younger brother to the HD Sportster.

                              The HD and the Monster are as different as chalk and cheese. So, good choice, you don't want the same kind of bikes, you would get bored. really waiting impatiently for the new Monster to come to India...hope they get the white one also by then. fingers crossed..
