Just In -- DUCATI MONSTER 795 - Priced at Rs 6.99 lakh, ex-showroom. Rs 2.3 lakh cheaper than the Monster 796

bad pricing -- should obviously have been a lac cheaper

guess they want to maximise on profits before cheaper ducatis start arriving next year

+ 1. expected price was 5.99, but overpriced...Triumph Street Triple will
now replace Ducati Monster 795 from my list.

Aahhh...Had the Ducati priced the 795 even a 50 grands low at Rs. 6.49L/-, that would have been welcomed. 6.99 shuts us off psychologically.

But still, a year ago, who would have dreamt of owning a 803cc Ducati for a sub-seven lakh price!!

now triumph street triple is very tempting

Even i am feeling it on higher side, it should be around 6.

Mine too I am seriously considering Street Triple over ducati 795.

All of a sudden Street Triple is looking VFM to me

Hey... just a little query : How is the 795 different that the 796 ? (except the price difference)

The difference in specs isnt too much, according to these official pages :

795 : Ducati
796 : Ducati

Why dont we have any pics of the DUCATI stall yet???

MOnster 795 Launched for 6.99 Lakhs Ex, booking start now, delivery in March.

New Delhi, 6 January 2012 - Ducati India unveiled one of the most awaited Monster model, M795, at the Auto Expo in New Delhi today. Developed specially for Asia this urban entry level Ducati model is attractively priced at INR 6,99,000 (ex-showroom), making it the most affordable Ducati model in India. The new Monster 795, was unveiled by Mirko Bordiga CEO, Ducati Asia Pacific and Ashish Chordia, CEO, Ducati India.

This latest model affirms Ducati’s focus towards the Asian markets. Mirko Bordiga, CEO Ducati Asia Pacific, said: “Monster has been the Ducati model sold in the highest numbers all over the world: it is an icon and represents an important part of Ducati’s history. The new Monster 795 has been thought and developed specifically for the Asian markets and for the growing group of Ducatisti in this area.”

Speaking at the launch, Ashish Chordia, CEO, Ducati India said “The new Monster 795 has been eagerly awaited in India and we have priced it attractively to make it easier for Ducatisti to own their favorite brand. This is an important model for our market and we expect it to contribute to our sales significantly. ”

Sunny, what does xBhp think about this price tag? Has it gone 50 to 100 grand more than what was expected?

Ofcourse, we know your love for Ducatis and Hyosungs(GT650R in particular) and disregard for cruisers like HD (and even to certain extent the ST7).

Have not seen major coverage of HD bringing in the bad boys Street Bob and Super Glide custom through CKD - effectively cutting the price tag by a whopping 4 lakhs.

street triple at 6 lacks!
Monster is heavily overpriced then

another wrong speculation by all 5.5 lakhs n now its 6.9 lakhs !

i believe they overshot price a little bit. 7 lacs ex seems a bit too high to me especially now that triumph has announced its entry.
But then again its ducati. People will buy it even if overpriced ..
