What do you think of the Ducati Monster 797 and do you agree with our verdict? Tell us in the comments below.

RECENTLY IT seems that every time I go somewhere in Europe that should be warm, sunny and dry, the sky opens and the fun dries up.

That’s why, after checking the weather for the launch location of the new Ducati Monster 797 and seeing black clouds, double rain drops and lightning bolts on my weather app, I was considering the bike’s tagline of ‘Let’s have fun’ with some cynicism. Don’t get me wrong, riding in the rain is fine, but the prospect of being soaked down to my ball bag for the umpteenth time this year isn’t one that filled me with joy.

With the rain promising to piss all over my dream of a glorious day’s riding in the south of France, some immediate action was called for and within an hour of landing in Nice, I was out on the bike for a hastily organised photo session before the next day’s soggy ride.

Actually, soggy is an understatement, but sure enough, regardless of the conditions, the Monster 797 quickly proved itself as a fun bike – it’s so easy-going, light and simple that it invites a fun time from the moment you get moving.
