Start your road bike passion here great first bike (LAMS approved), perfect for beginner or someone who just wants a fun bike to ride. Plenty of torque and power a thrilling and agile ride powered by a V-twin cylinder engine. Nimble handling and balanced suspension offer an exciting, comfortable ride. There was a time when the entire Monster range was air-cooled, but recent engine upgrades and emission regulations have resulted in now only the Monster 797 still using the breeze as its method of cooling. For 2018, Ducati returned the Monster 659 to its line up in a bid to keep a Monster in its lucrative LAMS camp. With the rules for our naked bike test requiring an engine capacity of no less than 600cc and no more than 800cc, you may have thought the Monster 797 would qualify, but that?s an 803cc engine, so it was up to the 659cc LAMS-approved machine to fly the Bologna flag. The Monster 797 and 659 are actually the same bike, with a reduction in cylinder stroke from 66mm to 54.2mm used to lower capacity. The bore remains unchanged at 88mm, but compression is reduced from 11:1 to 10.2:1. These, and a few other restriction methods, have reduced power to a LAMS-friendly 52 bhp. This bike is in great condition and a heap of fun to ride.^^ LAMS, Preferred Used Bike With up to a 3-year warranty and the most competitive finance and insurance packages available, as Australia's largest motorcycle retailer no one makes it easier to purchase a Learner Approved Motorcycle.
