2002 Ducati Monster 750 i.e. Dark Motorcycle reviews

After a long period of indecision between the Ducati Monster and the Kawasaki Z1000 I finally made a decision. At first I wanted the Ducati, then I heard a few ugly things about them, and decided to look elsewhere toward the Z1000. The Z1000 is faster and has a nice array of after market items, but the colors are horrible. The Ducati is slower and less comfortable but the design is superb, and the handling is incredible. It was a tough choice, but I don't regret going with the Ducati. Some people say the engine is underpowered, but I strongly disagree. Low and midrange perform well within, if not surpassing, the region of acceptability. However, it does top out around 120-125mph, so do not expect to keep up with your friend's GSX-R. Then again for what it's worth, I think it's worth a whole lot more than other bikes, and so will the women checking you out as you fly by. Show less

The Monster was my first bike ever and I love it. I have never been on a bike before and since I bought this bike, I have had no problems. Just because I am saying that this is a great starter bike doesn't mean you will get bored with it. I have had it for over a year now and I have not got anywhere near being bored with it, yet. I highly doubt I will either........ If you don't have a Ducati Monster yet, get it or get a bigger and faster Ducati... I feel that the guys with the Japanese bikes will be following you. Show less
