Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight vs Ducati Monster 797 Comparison

The Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight Special is definitely not your affordable cruiser. After all, there's a price to be paid to look uber cool and enhance your riding personality. If you're the kind of guy who wants to make a statement with your ride, and nothing short of an all-American v-twin cruiser will do, by all means take a good look at the Forty-Eight, you may end up bringing it home.

The new Monster offers enough performance to keep things entertaining for experienced riders, and for new riders, it offers an easy and accessible platform, which is unintimidating and easy to ride.
