Ducati Monster750 reviews

I bought my monster in July of 2000. I had owned a motorcycle in about 10 years and was told it would be a great bike to get back into motorcycling. I bought it with the intention of trading it in for a more powerful bike but after riding it I guess I will own two motorcycles. I love the riding position and the bike handle just as well a the 600 sport bikes I ride with. The attention the bike receives is also very welcome and I love to talk to other Ducati owners. If you want a bike to go 200mph then don't by a Ducati. If you want a bike that can do everything then own a monster. Show less

I purchased my M750 Dark June 2000. I love this ride, I ride it daily, 6,500 miles already. This bike, in my opinion is a great entry-level bike. The ergonomics fit my ride style perfectly. I recommend this bike to any entry level or female rider, the ergonomics, and price both make a great ride for your hard earnings to be spent on. I have had no problems with my BABY. I also need to mention all the great people that work at Salt Lake Motorsports. Show less

This ride is the best bike I have ever owned - performance wise that is. It hugs the corners and flies through the straight-aways as if the rider and the ride are one in the same. The workmanship or craftsmanship, however, is a little less to be desired. You see, I bought my 750 monster in March of this year. After riding it off the floor and putting about 300 miles on it that very same day, I finally decided to head for home. Upon getting there I removed the seat to get the owners manual. When I did that I noticed that there was a large wear in the tank; it went all the way to the metal (sh*t). When I turned the seat upside down there was a staple sticking out of the seat right in the corner where the saddle rests on the bike. So I called the dealership and they asked me to bring it in the next day. I brought the bike in the following day and showed the head service guy. He said that it was the second bike that he has seen that week with the same problem and offered to order the new parts to replace the damaged tank and faulty seat for free of charge. Now almost two months later (as of 8/11/00), I have a new seat and tank, (thanks to Naults Honda). But when I got home from the shop, and took the seat off, there it wasa small nick it the tank just where the large gash was on the last tank And the same placement of that very staple had not changed It was also covered in red paint dust from my new tank. WHAT THE HELL? So, now I have to go through the same process to get this damb problem fixed...Ducati, what is your problem?! Show less

Just get my Monster 750 two weeks ago, and fell in love with it immediately. The bike handles like dream. Head into a turn, lean, and bike leans with you. Come out of the turn, stand it up and it's almost like it's connected to your thoughts.

The bike has a ton of character, and an excellent riding position. If you have broad shoulders, you may want to upgrade mirrors to give you a little more visibility.

Only complaint is that it can be a little cold-blooded, and takes a while to warm up. Acceleration will get a little more "scrutiny" after break-in period is over.

Whether you're a newbie, or an experienced rider, you'll definitely appreciate the Ducati.
