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.

So, if you are looking for a beginner-friendly A2 bike with good handling and lots of character, you should definitely check it out.
