Title: Hiya All Post by: mage on April 10, 2011, 04:34:45 AM Was wondering if anyone over there in the US of A 8) has any feedback on the Monster 796? Am thinking of updating my 620 but havent met anyone thad has the 796 - very few and far between here in the land of Oz
Title: Re: Hiya All Post by: kp on April 10, 2011, 06:01:30 AM I have an 06 M620, bought her in 07 and love her.
Until last October when I had the good fortune of demoing an M796 for an entire day. Put 200+ miles on and enjoyed every one. I absolutely LOVE that bike. She's nimble and quick, and an absolute blast carving the twisties. Ducati got eveything right with that bike. It's like the all the best things from the 848 and the M1100 and made the 796. That is my next bike. After riding that bike all day I felt like I was getting back on a "baby bike" with the 620. If it's possible see if you can take one out on a demo ride. keep up posted! Title: Re: Hiya All Post by: mage on April 12, 2011, 03:53:16 AM Thanks for that, much as I expected. Would love to take one for a test ride but not much chance of that as you have to order one so they dont have demos. Just curious what are they worth over there? The cost here is $17.5k on road and they only bring in the ABS version
