Hello, is this a good deal?

Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster.. hoping to join the Ducati crowd soon.

Given that it's almost the end of the riding season and winter & 2011 models are right around the corner, is $10,400 out the door (includes tax, title and license fees) for a new 2010 Monster ABS 696 a solid deal?

Thanks all.

sounds a bit expensive, I think a 796 would be right for that price

Thanks for the feeback, please keep in mind this is for the 696 with ABS model and the price includes all tax, title and license fees.  In your opinion, is it still too high?

MSRP price is 9995, so it sounds not to much

OTD for an ABS is a good deal, go for it mate

This is in the States, btw.  This will be my first Ducati and I'm not sure how aggressively I should be negotiating.

Buy a used one with low miles and save yourself $3K

Thanks, only a couple of those are on the same side of the country as me and ABS is a must. I'm a street rider and it rains alot here.  Hesitant to purchase from a private party without seeing the bike
