A real good watch. I have a Monster 795 since a year now. I have done plenty of long trips and clocked so far 18,000 odd kilometers. Gone through set of tyres and belts besides the regular oil changes, chain lubrications etc..No trouble so far at all! I am surprised myself as I constantly read about problems Ducati owners have had. Best part about the Monster is.. it is compact, light and has enough power. I am enjoying it a great deal...

My Monsters the most fun of any bike I've ridden. Besides a ZX-10r with 210 hp to the rear wheel. That was one case where pure power was undeniably fun. 0-0-160 in like 20 seconds always puts a smile on my face.

After some thought and great deal of sacrifice, I am not a proud owner of my first very own DUCATI. Never before have I ridden one but have always wanted one since the day I first set eyes on the trellis style frame. Simply put "When it comes to Ducati, nothing else comes close".

Your Italian isn't too bad after all; I appreciate the fact that you try at least..and only if you give it a try you'll learn and improve it! Cheers, Fab

I just sat on one of these bikes at a dealer. They come with a single seat stock and they are relatively small bikes. I wouldn't suggest it for what you're looking for; however, they have an awesome aura about them that makes you yearn to ride one.

Good to see a M750 given a ride out. From a personal perspective, my '98 example was 100% reliable and urban riding was not the annoying experience others describe. Guess the clutch didn't bother me even if the turning circle did! The slight overreach position did mean I had to readjust myself every 10 miles or so but the way it hunkered down on B-roads was just fabulous. Lastly, the bikini fairing may look gay but it really does help cut the wind down.

Ducati is the best bike in the world! Like my brother says it's got a dual personality, it doesn't do slow well but does fast like a cadillac rocket!

Hi there All monsters have more of a forward stance than you might expect, you must have a try if you haven't already. As for upgrading the brakes/suspension on an SV650, personally I believe it's always cheaper to buy a better bike in the first place. The brakes/suspension on the Ducati are better out of the crate. Have you considered a proper sportsbike? For less than an upgraded SV but with top notch components and better wind protection. Happy hunting. Nick Hine

I just went to a Ducati dealer and sat on one of these bikes. They come with a single person seat so I wouldn't suggest one for what you're looking for. It is a pretty small bike, I don't think doubling up on it would be in the least bit comfortable. -imo

You mention that you have 2 1/2 Italian children and the Ducati does not give you the horn like they do! (Sweet Mother of God - are you after entering the hallowed hall of fame of Sir Jimmy Saville ) seriously though-Love the vids they are great

Monsters evolve I guess. They're not radically different from when they first came out and are still a very similar experience. We'll test a new Monster when we have one to test I guess! Cheers Nick Hine

If that bikes anything like the supersport models, it's good fun to ride.

Just for the record, a v-twin isn't confined to 45 degrees. It can be of any angle. 45 degrees is a common angle but not the only one.

Well I was torn between this and a Harley Nightster.. After seeing this review and hearing about the reliability issues, I'll go with the Nightster. I already have a sportster and it is super reliable.

Hi The only review of a Fizzy I've seen was done by James May from Top Gear. A gentleman he is, but 60 he is not. It could have been Rod Gibson from Classic Motorcycle Mechanics magazine, he's done some TV shows and has white hair making him look older than he is? Hope this helps Nick Hine

I own a monster 600 and the seat is small and curved in a way so you'll be more forward or "in" the bike. The whole seat is very short, and no matter how small a passenger behind, your stuff is still gonna get crushed.
