Ducati has showcased an entry-level Monster 797 at the ongoing EICMA in Milan. It features the same air-cooled two-valve motor that powers the Ducati Scrambler. The Desmodue L-Twin 803cc motor puts out 75PS of power and is also Euro-IV compliant. More importantly, Ducati will bring in the Monster 797 to India next year through the CBU route from Thailand. Considering the lower duty implications for Thai-sourced imports, the ex-showroom prices of the Monster 797 should be close to Rs 7-8 lakh. Get all details of the new Ducati Monster 797 here.
