2020 Ducati Monster 797+ First Ride (MT07 Killer?)

[@stevemiller1203]

I'm 67 years old and I started riding in the '60s, I don't care about neutral indicators and stuff like that, just give me a bike that's fun to ride and beautiful to look at, this bike fits the bill for me.

[@shane864]

It's the ultimate city bike. Perfect in Chicago, out here in California it's more of a toy than a legit all arounder like it was in Chicago. Too much highway riding out here. The 797 is a banger in tight quarters but for doing miles... not so much. It's 10/10 gorgeous though and mine gets compliments constantly and it's near stock.

[@richardcollins586]

I bought a Dec 17 797 last summer as my first bike. I passed my full test on a MT07, just wanted something different. It’s a nice bike, the power is linear and not scary at all. Getting it into neutral was a pain until about the 1600 mile mark and then it’s fine. What I like is the accessory catalog, especially the Rizoma products, you can change loads on it. To be honest, it’s a weekend bike for me, if I was commuting, I’d get the MT07.

[@sergioceja7642]

I had a Ducati 696 when it first came out back in 2009. I had the first one from Italy in the entire state of Illinois. I was famous for the very first few months. People wanting to take pictures of it, cops pulling me over just to see it. It was an amazing time.

[@ericiglesias4313]

I had a 2014 696 and that bike was amazing and constanly got stopped for pics of the bike or people asking me about it. There's nothing like ducati. I own other bikes but my ducati always have a special place in my heart

Ok the no fuel gauge is a legitimate gripe but you don’t need a gear indicator. Between the tach, the engine sound, the seat of the pants feel of the engine and how it’s responding to throttle input, you can gauge if you’re in the right gear or not.

I thought Ducati transmissions sucked, but they behave after their first service. They have a ton of false neutrals until they get dialed in.

[@redsolocup7854]

I hate to break it to you but $700 for a major service for a Ducati is a good deal. My Honda dealer wants $900 for a major service on my VFR800. Do most of the service yourself and save a ton of money if this is shocking.

[@dang5118]

This is in no way meant to be read in a combative tone. Just observations from time spent working in a Ducati dealer. Ducati doesn't keep any parts in North America. if anything goes wrong with a Ducati, even a new one, it's at least $1k to get it fixed. Italian motorcycles are great fun, but they will cost exponentially more to own than a Japanese bike.

[@sardonicspartan9343]

As a Ducati owner I agree. They are not the same price range. If you can afford it, Ducati > MT07. Otherwise the MT07 is a great bike.

[@trkersten]

If it was available for the same price as a MT07, it would not be a Ducati anymore. Of course Ducati has to be more expensive than a japanese Bike.

You are not riding the 797 right, especially a new one. You wanna go fast, read up the torque specs so you change gear at or near max torque 4-5k rpm. It s a 2 valve air cooled Ducati. You wanna rev the tits off one thru the gears, try the 821 4V water cooled version. It likes rpm like your multi Jap bikes. The MT07 makes near identical bhp and torque as a 797, but as you noticed, very very diferently. Different strokes for different folks.

[@towatchvids]

Depends on the local deals you can get when it's time for models to be closed out etc. Plus different strokes for different folks, some people want high end parts already on the bike. Some people are ok with having unbranded equipment on the XSR or they might be comfortable upgrading it themselves and voiding warranties.

[@BoZhaoengineering]

And overall service cost considerably lower than Ducati monster. The reputation of Ducati is worst reliable bike. Monster is used to blast you around town or a short miles highway. XSR900 is a do it all bike for daily use.

I've had this bike for 2 years now (the 2017 is the same as the 2020 really). Comfortable, enough power for urban and weekend run outs, nimble (leaves other bikes on the twisties), excellent Brembos and if you can find a better looking bike I'd be surprised. I put some Termignoni pipes on it and the sound is a million times better. Negatives? As mentioned in the video, no fuel and gear gauge in this day and age is a joke.

The MT-09 and especially the Street Triple RS are a big step up in power. The 797 and MT-07 are kind of equal bikes and for beginners for their first big bike , though having ridden both, the MT-07 has a little more punch, though it has cheaper components. The MT-07 cross plane engine is a classic and is fantastic and I find it better in traffic. The 797 being air cooled is a bit lumpy in traffic, though for me the power is smooth and the brakes are far superior being Brembo.

Do a test drive on the BMW S1000RR you will have a orgasm I ride mine daily.

M-07 perfect balance: Quality, Reliability, Looks and Price.... Ducatis are money-pits.

[@ShakeNBlake509]

Luis Alcantara S I’ll agree with that

[@matrixxd93]

If Ducaties are money pits then i sugest not to own a KTM.

[@lralcantara]

Matej C are they (KTM), really? I was planning on getting a KTM as a 2nd bike.

[@santiagosalcedo7909]

I feel like you can't mark 8000 euros for a 70 hp bike. There are so many other cheaper options...

[@maxoubidou897]

Should not bikes be mostly about emotions? I personally don’t look the same way at an M-T07 and a Ducati even though I know they are supposed to be money pits (is it also still true?)

Mt07 killer for 3000€ more XD

[@syafiqaiman3548]

MT07 have no character.... the ducati have all the right curves

[@gibbs3042]

Ducati bikes were hot in the early 2000s I keep a monster in my collection Ducatis aren't godly bikes But they are just cool

[@harminder87]

mt07 killer ahahhahaha u funny so the 797 can power wheelie in first (yea the suspension and brakes are better). Rode my buddies twisted the throttle nothing i do that of my fz front wheel comes up. The stock mapping on the 797 is so mallow compare to the fz

[@Agwings1960]

Always wanted a Duck, especially a Monster, but dang, those things are always at the top of the most unreliable motorcycles list.

[@brizzobrizzo5904]

Had a Ducati, it was flawless, don’t believe people who say the new ones aren’t reliable. As reliable as any other bike on the market.

[@AT2Productions]

That “reliability” issue is a myth due to the 2006 models and older having a shorter recommended cycle for valve inspections and timing belt changes. Especially over the past 10yrs or so those intervals have been stretched to match their competitors. I personally have a 2005 Monster 620, and it’s been rock solid.

[@Agwings1960]

@@AT2Productions So the youtube videos showing electronic problems with brand new Ducati's are all fake...OK

[@AT2Productions]

@@Agwings1960 That's a lovely leap you took there. Did I say that there were zero problems at all? Tell me, where was that said? What you failed to comprehend is that the metrics used to try to knock Ducati's reliability is due to time at the mechanic. Tell me, on average how many Ducati owners do their own maintenance beyond chain cleaning? Oh, wait, you actually don't give a shit about what I've already said. You're just hating on a brand because of your own perception.

[@Agwings1960]

@@AT2Productions You're the one making some assumptions my friend. Ive been an avid motorcyclist since the late 60's, and Ducati makes some of the best looking motorcycles in the world, always wanted one, but they are usually high on the list of unreliable machines. The current number one is Can Am, according to what Ive seen. Im not hating on anything, just stating what Ive read on the motorcycle forums and consumer reports.

No fuel gauge, no gear indicator? Yikes. Can we say Triumph Street Triple RS😛 any day!

Yeah also the triumph is wayyyy more expensive than the 797(normal edition not + which is just cosmetic updates)

its guna be faster then the mt07 its has a bigger engine plus a much bigger price tag like an extra £3000

[@Timochat_]

Well Price means nothing

[@sanderwaglen4904]

the power output is about the same, but the 07 is lighter, has a higher compression ratio, a little more torque, and about 0,5 more hp. not so sure about the gear ratios, but i would imagine the 07 is faster

A fancy Sv, if you are a simple man like me, just buy an Sv.

Antoine Allard or an MT07

ShakeNBlake yes 😉, i was referring to the SV cuz it has the same engine architecture as the monster

[@anonymity002200]

I just caught this video, I realize it's a few months old but I hope the creator has invested some time in learning about air cooled vs liquid cooled since creating this video. Not to mention most of us who grew up on a motorcycle don't need a gear indicator. I'm all for motorcycle enthusiasts but if your going to review something at least know more than the highlighted words in the brochure.
