2012 Ducati Monster 795

Finally the Italian marquee will no more remain the brand for ones with deep pockets but actually become realistically affordable even in India once the made-for-Asia Ducati Monster 795 makes its way into India early next year. With the speculated pricing expected to be somewhere in the region of Rs. 5-6 lakh, the Ducati 795 will play a key role in the burgeoning middleweight (600cc) market in India. Fighting with existing rivals like the Kawasaki Ninja 650R and the Hyosung GT650 siblings, the Ducati 795 will definitely be a show-stopper like all Ducatis are known to be. Powered by a 803cc Vee twin engine, the 795 packs in more muscle than many can handle albeit in a slightly low-spec packaging, which also means that with the price drop, the running costs will also be lesser. If the pricing really turns out as expected, then expect to a see a lot of them on Indian roads, by this time next year.
