Inever thought I’d like this bike. I expected to really dislike it, even though I am nuts about ducs, it would just be too small and underpowered and hideous to ride. All wrong. It’s got a great riding position even though I am a tall lanky bastard, and it’s a pretty short machine with a …
I’ve had the opportunity to test the Monster LAMs 659 for a while as a commuter, then I was given the 796 to compare the two, by my mates at Ducat City Melbourne – lucky me!
