2019 Ducati Monster 797 Plus Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2019 Ducati Monster 797 Plus naked motorcycle, Ducati relies on a 803 cc (49 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 73 HP (53.3 kW) at 8,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 67 Nm (49.4 lb-ft) at 5,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 90.9 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,750 rpm) and peak power (8,250 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the Monster 797 Plus measures 193 kg (425 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.38 HP/kg (2.64 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,435 mm (56.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 16.5-liter (4.4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.3 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 311 km (193 miles) between fill-ups.
