Ducati Monster 797 vs Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight Comparison

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. Overall, it offers dollops of fun, it's quite a fun and likeable package, and the new Monster has evolved in the right direction, with a near-perfect blend of performance, safety net, dynamics and accessibility.

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. Just keep in mind that it may start losing its appeal soon.
