The 2017 model revives air-cooled monsters. Yasushi Okazaki and Hiroshi Maruyama tested a traditional model that followed the good old design of the first monster in ’93. Young machine from September issued of 2017.
Elegantly immersed in the taste, this is the best way to enjoy
The first impression is “refreshing handsome” and Shizu who likes the design of the monster 797. But when I actually started running I said “Personality was self-chew (lol)”. Many of the reasons are due to Lipew. A wide and distant bar handle, which is a symbol of a monster, is hard to reach with Shizu. Also, the torque from the zero departure is intense and care is taken on the connection of the clutch. If it is a small person, it is hard to hold down with your arms, and because of the difficulty of holding with a knee, the body will fall off with acceleration. Even so, once you just start off it’s ok. Air cooled L twin is sticky from low rotation range, 3000 ~ 4000 rpm is powerful but response is calm. There is no feeling of tension, and each time you twist your right hand, a pulse with a smooth torque and a cranky spirit comes out. It’s cool like air-cooling, it’s a tasty feeling that does not require high efficiency.
Handling is also really natural. In addition to being lightly knocked down, with the latest sports model it is preeminent feeling with a feeling that turns from a rare unusual. And, with medium and low speed torque that can be manipulated at will, you can draw a line as you can imagine. It is more fun to not skip, as the torque and pulse feeling will become flat from 5000 to 6000 rpm. Both of them align their mouths with “feeling when you are shedding, interesting above domestic rivals”. It is slightly hard around the legs, running excellently in front and rear pitching is not very good at driving. 797 suits the medium speed corner like the Ashinoko Skyline to elegantly pass the main pass. On the other hand, the speed is considerable if it comes to that. Light body and high performance brake react faithfully to rider’s input, so direct running is also possible. And, surprisingly it was tandem performance. Because the seating surface was flat and possessed hands, the two-seater was comfortable.
It plays the most familiar presence in the monster series
Along with wears the image to return to the origin of the brought about a series by the first generation monster appeared in 1993, Brand New model was created with the aim of most friendly Ducati naked model’s monster 797. The engine is an air-cooled L twin which is reminiscent of the original monster. It adopted the 803cc system corresponding to euro 4 installed in the company’s scrambler, newly established cooling fins to create the atmosphere of the past year. Furthermore, trellis frame also not a split type such as monsters 1200, the traditional structure of the integrated from the steering head to the tail piece, doubly supported swing arm suspension with Kayaba made front inverted fork and Sachs made rear shock unit to As shown in FIG.
The maximum output is 76 ㎰, the maximum torque is 7.0 ㎏ – m. It is a single throttle body of φ50 mm, equipped with two injectors under the butterfly, from this point you can see that pursuing high rotation power is aiming for a character that anyone can handle easily. Trucks and sophisticated electronic control devices are not equipped, but we will not forget to provide comfortable and secure functions such as assist & slipper – clutch and ABS made by Bosch as standard equipment.
