It's an expensive tank. I wonder what it looks like?

Now I see where the expense comes in.

i know, adding those graphics to the ass end of it really makes it a spendy endeavor.

"Engine’s great, much punchier than the 696 which is a bit gutless,"

yeah that's the same guy who says "Ducati claim it’s not just a bored-out engine, as it’s got higher compression, smaller crankcase, lighter internals."

duh.. it's the same bore. so i'm not taking his gutless comment too seriously. but at the same time of course it has more torque... it has more cc's

Here is a review of the 796 HM:

I guess he liked it.  "The Bottom Line: More Fun Than the Big Motor Hypermotard and Cheaper, Too!"

He lost me when he described the coffins m/c's as an upgrade. He ends the article admitting he likes the 696 better then an 1100 monster. Sounds like he just likes little bikes.

Having owned some of the bigger bikes (all kind of 1000's) I like my smaller bikes much better. I think my M800 was a much better bike than my s2r1000....just my worthless .02

I get the "little" or "light" factor. But my 1100 weighs about the same as the stock 796 now anyway. And I have better brakes, suspension, wheels, clutch, and more torque.

The only point of the 796 is cost, which I understand and am on board with. Chris Kelley is probably pretty happy.

It's an expensive tank.

It's actually a complete kit with pod filters, new battery cables, etc. Not to mention a replacement warranty, better quality, and last but not least...more range. I hit over 250 miles on one tank.

[EvilSteve]

Nice.

mmmmm 250 miles.

[junior varsity]

i am not going to even try to imagine what its like to ride for 250 mi without filling up.

i can waste a tank of fuel in little over 115 mi by whacking the throttle open every chance I get.

Logo I don't mind. Boring ass music forced me look elsewhere at the 1:05.
