1997 Ducati Monster M750 review from United States of America
"Not worth the money"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Engine mount cracked at about 2000 miles.
Voltage regulator came unplugged at about 4700 miles.
General comments?
I loved the way the bike looked and handled.
Brakes were excellent.
It was ridiculously slow. Even piped and jetted I couldn't power it up in 1st gear.
You couldn't ride 50 miles without severe discomfort.
Worst of all, the electrical parts are prone to failure, wire connectors are faulty.
Lost lots on resale.
