Went from a 180hp CBR1000RR as a commuter to a 797, enough power for City driving, lovely torque curve and the sound with a slip on is addictive. Really comfortable, love It.

[@bubsiesiegel]

Got a 797 a few weeks ago. F**k I am loving this thing. This thing does have A LOT of soul and character.

[@AbuAreejQ21]

You still have it? What do you think about it?

[@bubsiesiegel]

@@AbuAreejQ21 I had it until last November when I traded it in for a Super Duke. I loved the 797. It had usable power almost everywhere and it was a light package.

[@AbuAreejQ21]

@@bubsiesiegel Aha sounds good i hope you spend a good time with your new bike , Stay safe , I am getting my 797 in august as my first bike ever , Actually I’ll gift myself one on my birthday lol

[@chiLLouT1337Sm]

​@@AbuAreejQ21 ​ bought a 797 two months ago and i can tell you it's a blast ;-) you made a got choice, a big change in character can be made by changing the standart exhaust. The standart doesn't sound exciting at all in my estimation. I live in Europe and bought myself a roadsitalia exhaust for 250 Euros and now the bike is perfect :-) i wish you a nice time with yours aswell ;-)

[@mrtz2796]

gotta love that he actually says "smallest monster that they currently make" love it

[@wingmangt]

The italians know how to make a bike gorgeous. I hope I can get a MV Agusta Brutale some day.

[@intergalacticsucker1724]

WingManGT pure beauty

[@seargd1]

"You're not gonna go 95 on your commute" Chase don't know how I commute.

[@suavez.productions9354]

I think this would be a cool first bike, and reasonable power 👌

[@c.g.c2067]

What I like about Ducati 797 is that they don't save money on the brakes as other brands do in order to give you more fancy electronics... the shifter is fine in my 797

[@NotoriousGrease]

Great Vid as always Chase. Keep em coming.

[@enyaw1948]

Great camera work! Editing perfect Great Video over all.

[@johnhall4445]

Thanks for the extensive review! Helpful!

[@rhalmo7986]

I asked and the C2W provided. Thank you Chase!

[@DC-mf5gk]

That moment when chase said that 797cc bikes a tiny bike,and u own a 250cc :/

[@mhden_agan]

Ι know that feeling bro..

[@HuyNguyen-us4mt]

dude i have a 110cc, what should i call it?

[@TheEarepol]

@@HuyNguyen-us4mt a moped

[@estoylaroca]

797 is def. not a tiny bike. Even a 600cc is more than enough for daily use. Hit that 250cc my brother.

[@onlyfoolriding8223]

Had a Ninja 250. Now have a Monster 1200. Had way more fun on my 250. Enjoy it!

[@negrolo94]

Your input definitely reassured my confidence in buying this bike, 2020 Monster 797, thankfully the mirrors were already upgraded XD

[@tweetingbird3442]

Great detail in the review. Thanks!

[@zzApotheosis]

This will probably be my next bike!

[@Desmodue803]

Great and honest review 👍

[@crazzyzack]

By the way at 3:37 that was a civic type r.

[@mervyoung5397]

I just bought a very low mileage 2021 Ducati Monster 659 which is essentially a detuned 797 for learner/restricted license holders here in Australia. This is to supplement my 2024 CFMOTO 450SRS sports bike. I can’t wait to receive the Monster in my stable. Now I have a great little sports bike and Naked bike! 😎👍🏼

[@4LEX4NDER94]

Hey, a bit disappointed to not hear anything about the seat comfort, but other then that spotless review chase, as always keep it up brother!

[@GETUPANDGO]

Looks pretty slick

[@Need4SteveMoto]

Good stuff. I'd consider this over an FZ but for the price I'd expect a gear indicator and have it be air cooled. Love the black though. Sharp looking bike

[@HeliTube]

Nice job as always! Chase please review the new Aprilia Tuono or the new RSV4 if you can.

[@SalientMarlin]

Omg when you said "a shitty gearbox" I spit my drink out. 😂😂😂 Wasn't expecting you to say that at all.

[@SalientMarlin]

Am I the only one who found that funny?

[@YourFavoriteRoadCaptain]

I have the 2020 and the shifter is smooth. Really fun bike. If you want more throttle response, take the slack off and it becomes much punchier

[@airborne650]

Chase, my Monster 821 started out being really irritating w/ the shifter as well, but now that it has broken in, it is buttery smooth and easy to get into neutral. Sometimes they just need a little love :)

[@Murhamdilah]

It’s beautiful.

[@jameschrisdavis]

Before I bought my FZ07 I was looking at this bike. Glad I picked up the FZ, even though this looks really cool.

[@gurpalsingh3695]

what made you go with the FZ07 ? I'm deciding on which one to get the FZ07 or the monster 797, this would be my first bike

[@likesubstance7068]

Gurpal Singh what did you end up going eith

[@richardcollins586]

I put a deposit on one of these today. I’ve been agonising for a couple of weeks whether to save myself a bit of cash and get the MT07, I went for the 797. The MT07 has a bit more of a punch and you get a lot of bike for your money. I liked the slightly forward riding position on the 797 and you’re right, the power feels like it is spread more evenly and linear. The seat is more comfortable as well! Pick it up in two weeks! 😊

[@chaseontwowheels]

Good choice on the Ducati!

[@gurpalsingh3695]

How do you like the Ducati monster 797 so far ? I'm deciding between the 797 and MT07 as well. This would be my first bike

[@ASMCourtney]

​@@gurpalsingh3695 if you see this how has it been haha. I'm deciding between a 2013 796 Or a xsr 700 Or some other shit like that haha Hope youre doing well

[@leonidasgambole8531]

Nice videos broo

[@mraihan7400]

Chase i'd like to know the name of that intro song. Sounds awesome. Making your intro is pure gold

[@AmenMoto]

Thanks Chase

[@vivir_en_ruedas]

Please do the first ride of the new KTM Duke 390 2017, AWESOME BIKE!!! ill buy it in december. I want to know your point of view about it!

[@InceptionHealer]

Thanks for the review, one tip : GSX-S 750

[@Desmodue803]

That neutral🤣 After one year of ownership, you get tha hang of it hahah

[@christopherrodriguez9514]

[@Idividezero]

Chase thinks the new Civic Type R looks like a Deceptacon. That's actually pretty neat, I never thought of it like that.

[@eljefe114]

Dude I just got a white one and it’s such a dream

[@cedricksamaniego9146]

The false neutral is a pain in the ass. I did read about that before I got my bike, I have the 11' 796 first bikes. I know it's a really big bike to start on but I was told that all I would need to Master is throttle control. I love it except the maintenance cost for everything 7500 miles. When i notice my bike is quiet, I'm traveling 80 plus. Handles well in the rain.

[@mervyndelatorre]

The Ducati Monster 797 is a “heritage”, old-school Ducati Monster. The Monster 797 is an absolute joy to own and ride. It makes for an excellent first big bike. The Ducati Monster 797 is pleasingly light and agile. A highly desirable bike oozing with the Italian spirit and style. The Monster 797 is very well made, quality parts, well assembled and finished.

[@theycallmebrad1023]

What happen to the relationship between you SMO, Motoncity and Walteriffic. I loved the videos you all worked together in. Plus why is SMO still only at 18K

[@jakoumis]

Hello Chase! I really like your videos, I started watching you because of the Ducati wrecked bike rebuilt. Let me ask you, how are you able to come in a conclusion that a bike is better than another without riding it in various conditions and under pressure? I mean how are you going to point out that the Monster justifies the price difference by offering much better braking and handling than the SV650 or MT07? I totally agree with you, the headlight should be black! and it really needs an aftermarket exhaust!

[@scottmolyneux7394]

I extremely like the new camera angel

[@984francis]

I have a 797 and short legs (30 inseam). I can easily flat foot. I sat on a RE Int 650 today and it is a tad higher.

[@mwf117]

Very nice jacket ..

[@1noetic]

Had mine for a year now. she's great!!! came from an SV. unfortunately I low sided on a cold November day. waiting for parts sucks. also, good aftermarket but the cost is a joke. I'm a machinist, not a stock broker.

[@vegarosa69]

How would you compare the Monster to the SV in power, handling, etc. I wanted an SV650 but ended up getting a Monster 696. I absolutely love my Monster.

[@MDHenry4]

Great honest review. How do you get the the overhead shot at the dealership (RMS)?

[@TheBraps]

I think the Scrambler Icon would be a better buy as a commuter bike vs the Monster 797 and it comes in a little over a grand cheaper than the Monster.

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

i'd like to see a scrambler, cafe racer firstride !!

[@tuyenhoang5546]

True, scrambler is better imo and own a monster 821. 797 and scrambler using the same engine so u get the same bike. Just one is more style than the other

[@j_stach]

Monster's just sexier

[@davidvarela8739]

relevant info : this one is a 800cc 2valve/cylinder , next monster model is the Monster 821 wich is 821cc BUT 4 valve/cylinder and that makes a big diference.

[@stephanbielawski9462]

Especially when it is time for the valve clearance checks. Ouch on the 4 valves.

[@xidiwu]

Could you do a review for the new Suzuki GSX S750?

[@wasifsalam3080]

That interesting looking car is a civic type r, and I know it’s a civic but it competes with the wed sti so I mean it’s kinda cool

[@brynhewson105]

Are you going to do a review of your Monster 1100 that you built ? You have to !!!

[@cameronhicks5225]

First comment of substance lol. Nice video, she is lookin' supah fine

[@elie4946]

This is My Dream Bike 😀

[@nightdevil6666]

$96 per month zero interest. Easy buy

[@ktmpranthan900]

Yup go for it...! Cost 10k has no gear position indicator no fuel gauge and is air cooled. Better buy the street triple than this piece of vibrating so called italian meat

[@nightdevil6666]

Triumphs are ugly

[@dtd1743]

dude.. use your wrist as a mode selector.. eather it is part throttle... or full.. that is all you need for modes

[@bendriscoll302]

Once the bike gets about 500 miles on it the shifter gets buttery smooth and neutral gets A LOT easier to find when stopped.

[@tomorrowtoday4839]

My Monster 821 shifted better after the first oil change as well...

[@mrbriandrake]

Yes, I confirm that (on my 797) ! During the first 500 miles and before the first oil change the gearbox feels horrible, finding neutral is just impossible, and you may experience some false neutrals as shifting is pretty hard. But since then everything feels sooooo smooth.

[@estoylaroca]

My Honda was smooth ever since 0 mile. No need to make excuses on a bike that costs a ton more.

[@filipcmaros]

i think when you changed thw oil after braking nutrual will be more easy to find

[@joan-manuelcerda6544]

Great video chase, loving the content. Would be nice if you did a video to compare all the monsters in detail. E.g why an 821 over a 797. Even why a 1200 over an 821 (apart from the obvious). Anyhow good stuff ! Keep it up

[@chaseontwowheels]

That's definitely an idea my friend. I'll have to look into it.

[@MauricioRafaelGonzalez]

I liked and subscribed! How tall are you Chase? You look fairly comfortable on the bike in the somewhat upright rider position.

[@LukaMandic31]

nice monster hi from croatia

[@Traumatix685]

Please do a Scrambler Cafe Racer review, even though it's of the same engine; but people compare it together when considering a purchase as why does the CR cost more than the Monster 797.

[@Traumatix685]

Also, the Cafe Racer is easily flat footable. It would be helpful to review why the Cafe Racer is worth the price of $11k plus as it's super agile. Thanks!

[@AiroRider]

Hey Chase, I have a question. With your GoPro mounted on your chin, like it is, does it obstruct your view at all? Just wondering what challenges come with having it there.

[@nolongerinuse488]

I would like to see you review the Dragster 800 RR (MV Agusta) because it being Italian, and what comes with Italian mechanics versus the beauty of the bike. Curious of the reliability. I keep looking at it, but if I'm spending 18gs on a bike, I don't want any problems. Because of that price, I've considered Super Duke 1290R and R9t.

[@sullybiker6520]

I thought the 821 was just about perfect, but it's way more powerful, far more than the extra CC's suggest. Probably a little too much for the street. I had the same problem with the mirrors. Totally useless. I really liked the bike though.

[@Youtube_Globetrotter]

If you compare it to the 821 Monster, What do you think?

[@alessandrorinaldi842]

Chase, why don'you do review of the MV Agusta? I know they are italian, but since you've been doing Ducati's review i thought it's time 😊

[@alexh5358]

There's a neutral light on the top left but your go pro is blocking it bud

[@DHPOfficial]

Just be gentle when looking for neutral with your foot. I literally never have this issue.

[@paulkim5364]

Hey Chase! I love your videos. I've been learning a lot about bikes from them. I'm actually looking into getting into the motorcycle market and I was wondering if you could recommend me some of the best beginner bikes in terms of looks, user-friendliness, and affordability?

[@TheDeceptikron]

SV650 or FZ 07, I personally prefer the SV and think it would be more user friendly, better pricing and an adults bike, the FZ 07 looks like a Toys 'R'' Us bike

[@TheDeceptikron]

imgur.com/a/bw8px

[@cedricksamaniego9146]

Paul Kim I'm not Chase but I recommend you sit on different style bikes and see which one suits you the best.

[@johannesalthaus2563]

Revzilla actualy did a realy good series (2 or 3 vids) about this, can only recommend them. I would love to say buy this and help you,. but there are 2 many factors I wouldve to look for, and Im not a salesman

[@lebowskifan9992]

Been waiting for this video - thanks. I have a Bonneville T100 as my daily rider. Looking for a bike for the twisties and comparing this and the FZ07. I'm not looking for a wheelie machine but rather something smooth and composed for hustling through the mountains. The price difference isn't a big deal to me. How's the handling on this vs the FZ07

[@novadrive3809]

Lebowski Fan I would say see if you can get test rides on he Monster 821 and the FZ back to back. I think with the FZ, it's a little smoother transmission, but for me the Monster is just one sexy machine, and if money is not the issue, go with the Monster. I've had two of them and probably will not buy any other bike next unless it's the Monster 1200. Excellent bikes and gorgeous looks compared to anything else.

[@goblincave4048]

My dad has a 98' Ducati monster it was the last year with the hand made frames but it's broken right now and his gas line just broke cause he hasn't rode for a couple years but I'm gonna get him back into riding in a year once I can get a license

[@cedricksamaniego9146]

GoBlin CaVe i suggest you buy your first bike in full and if you can afford it buy two if you plan on getting dad back into it. Keeps him of yours, you know lol

[@dippindotsd7511]

i know you've done a s1000rr review....can you possibly do a single R review?

[@123thesniperdude123]

I absoluteley loved the combination with the music and the slow mo shots in the beggining

[@joparsons20]

kinda want chase to do a big muscle cruiser or a v max

[@ginford8981]

you can put the link with the specs in the description of the test drive video...

[@evanroach5011]

But it does have modes. Your session is blocking the place where you see it. Not hating cuz I love your videos and am basing my decision on my next bike partly due to your revies

[@16aravan]

[@alpap1980]

You think with a 2" riser it could be more comfortable and the riding position similar to the Scrambler Icon/sizty2?

How would you compare the Triumph Street triple (660 or 675) to this Ducati?

[@ThePowerMoves]

Wait, isn't the seat height adjustable?

[@Crillzz]

Yeah chase you hit everything on the head even with all the ducati issues (shitty gearbox constant false neutral) . but once the 797 gets to those twisties its so much fun . i have the 797 i changed to rizoma barend mirrors a akropovic exhuast tidy tail and a remap the bike is sooo much better

Interesting looking car at the beginning was a 2017 Honda Civic Type R (turbo vtec!!)
