      The ducati has a hydraulic clutch and is really comfy.
      Hemank Not sure if you have used hydrolic clutch before or not but you might find it a bit of a hassle to bleed it every few months... Put learning on how to do it yourself in your list to save some money
      Low end torque is where it is for city riding but anything more and you are going for streety.... however, changing front sprocket on streety for lil bit extra mechanical advantage is awesome for perceived increase of acceleration at lights... Not confusing you but just saying gearing can be changed but once you get the Ducatisti.... you get it...

        I'm aware of bleeding hydraulic systems myself Also, aware of the sprockets.. But like u rightly said.... Once u become a Ducatist, u get a Ducati

          now this just makes me wonder one thing

          where is the confusion now?

          from the looks of it you are in LOUVVEE with the ducati.

          and trust me - no other bike will ever come close.

          so what if it's difficult to maintain and has absolutely no service support?!?! you can always learn all that you would need on a regular basis from lot of sources online.

          i say - stretch your budget a bit more and try getting a 796 instead. to me a ducati = single sided swing arm !!!

          all the very best buddy
          Biking is a religion, not a hobby!!

            Hey bro, I rode the 796, and I prefer the 795. Reasons : 796 is taller, taller gear ratios, ad a little sad looking from the front. The only down side in the 795 is its swing arm (which I think I'll swap with a single sided one in 2 years may be... :P)

              Man, you have me confused again. I had almost decided not to go for the bike for now. But your review made sure that I am again thinking about it.

              The one problem I do have is that I am fairly tall (6ft 4") and now I am thinking whether the 795 might be short for me.

              Also, did you find out anything about the running cost (services and spares)?

                795 would be definitely short for you. even the 796 for that matter.

                you would need something else altogether. HD maybe

                  I went along with my brother (who is 6'1") and it was not short for him. so what you need to do is, basically ride one to judge for urself.. The triumph on the other hand would definately not be short for you..

                  Parts are expensive yes,but if you take care of your machine, then it should not be a problem.. and service intervals are: Check up at 1000kms (Just a check up and oil top up),fine tuning if any, and then service after every 10,000 / 6 months, which ever is earlier..

                    Nopes - I went and checked out the 883, and I found it too low. Besides, I am no longer looking for a HD type... unless I had the money to by a Nightrod Special.

                      Ok, that's it. I am going to call the dealer and figure this out. In delhi, they have a 795 on display, but not a 796 (at the porsche service center). I will try and go there.

                          MV Agusta F3 vs Triumph Daytona 675R


                          The lightest, most powerful and elecronically-advanced supersport machine you can buy - the new MV Agusta F3 goes up against the Triumph Daytona 675 R on the roads of northern Italy.

                          Triumph Daytona 675R
                          Launched last year, this is the R version of Triumph's popular Daytona 675. It doesn't have electronic rider aids except for a quickshifter, but you get Ohlins suspension, Brembo monobloc calipers, Pirelli Diablo Super Corsa SPs and carbon-fibre body parts.

                          MV Agusta F3 675
                          The lightest, most powerful and electronically advanced supersport machine you can buy. It has a short-stroke 675cc, inline three-cylinder engine and comes with traction control, variable power maps, electronic engine braking and slipper clutch.

                              Price of Mv augusta F3 and daytona 675 ?? i think there is lota difference what i just found on the internet some 15 lakh.
                              that makes daytona 675 more likely bike to buy..

                              I also wanted to know when this daytona 675 is coming in showroom.. or simply say when showrooms are coming
