Ducati Monster 796 (2010 - 2013)
The Ducati Monster 796 is an awesome-looking naked bike that appears much more modern compared to previous models, yet it still features the unmistakable trellis frame that is so typical for older Ducati motorcycles.
It is considered one of the best Ducati bikes in terms of reliability and build quality. Unfortunately, the engine overheats a lot and the fuel economy is rather poor. On the other hand, the bike is very flexible and easy to ride.
So, if you are looking for a beginner-friendly A2 bike with good handling and lots of character, you should definitely check it out.
