Updates

The Ducati Monster 797 Plus gets a cover for the pillion seat and a flyscreen atop the headlamp. Well, that is about it! The flyscreen and the rear seat cowl are in the same colour as the bike, so that gives the bike a cool, more focussed look. You can always buy and get these accessories fitted on to your Monster 797. Just that they will set you back by Rs. 30,000 or so! Ducati says that the flyscreen on the Monster 797 Plus offers the rider better protection from the wind, meaning you can spend longer time on the saddle and cover more distance.

Price

The good thing is that the Ducati Monster 797 Plus has the same price as the standard 797, which is Rs. 8.03 lakh (ex-showroom, India). Also, these prices are introductory so expect the price for the 797 Plus to go up in the next few months. Want a new beginner-friendly naked middleweight? The Monster 797 Plus is a good option.
