people always say ducati = expensive to maintain...
z800 n m795 if u buy brand new...just change normal wear n tear la...what is the expensive part in m795 to change that z800 no need to change?
m795 no longer carry dry clutch..the beauty of ducs!
but if maintenance wise is the deciding factor...m795 definitely not for u cos at purcahse price itself u already pay more rm30k

Im z800 owner.. no such problem happen to my bike. Only the problem with the horn.. but after they set the horn, its ok already..
U must understand 2 different type of engine.. z800 is 4 inline which hs high HP. But kawasaki increase the size of the back sprocket so the torque of the bike increase. Bcos of the 4inline engine, this bike quite heavy.
While monster if im not mistaken using vtwin engine which have good torque. And the bike is much more lighter than z800. But believe me, 4 inline engine is good at high speed compare to vtwin engine.
Try both bike first.

Both are naked =/= not meant for long distance riding.
I've once rode a friend's Streetfighter 848 from KL to Melaka at average 170kmph. As tiring as hell.
Hence, get a Rabbit/848EVO/R1 for long distance, and get a 135LC or FZ150 for city rides.
Big bikes for city rides through jam = Nightmare. Left hand tired for clutch, and whole body will suffer to control the heavy bike at low speed.

I've also experienced the Monster 696 CBU for quite some time.
Handling is heaven, can take corners and cilok with confidence of not losing control. Low speed maneuvers through jam is also not that bad, albeit still tiring.
Power-wise, it leaves big room to yearn for once u've been on a Streetfighter 8484.
It is also low-bodied, suitable for those under 170cm. It would be comfortable if you're of average height.
