Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Ducati Monster 797 2017
The Ducati Monster 797 is a great entry into the Monster family. Great V2 sound and great looks make it a fully-fledged Ducati Monster family member. The seating position is sporty, which makes chasing times on the home track a real pleasure. In everyday use, however, you have to bite the bullet when it comes to the suspension. The set-up is hard as a board, and bumps are passed on directly to the driver. Very exhausting in the long run.
Aprilia Shiver 900 2017
As we all know, there's life in the old dog yet not all two-cylinder engines in the Aprilia range have fallen victim to the Euro4 standard, the mid-range lives on - and how! The Shiver 900 not only has more torque thanks to increased displacement, but also an excellently tuned ride-by-wire system. Added to this are further electronic features such as three mappings as well as adjustable and disengageable traction control and ABS. The timeless look hardly changes, but a colour TFT display is now used for the most modern demands.
