One line description of 796

[Spidey]

I haven't been following the recent announcements re the new 796.  Instead of doing the research myself ( ), can someone give me a one-line description to update the Monster Generations FAQ?  Thanks.

796 -- half trellis frame, SSS, dry clutch, radial calipers, 803cc air cooled engine, dual-sided high mount exhaust.


Basically it's a 696 with a bigger motor that weighs 4lbs more with a single-sided swingarm, 1.2" higher seat height, 7 more HP, 8 more lb-ft of torque, and better wheels.

I thought ducati was going to whittle down their offer?  Seems they have more choices than ever (except sport touring)

I'm convinced they have no idea what they're doing lately...

Just had a thought... give the 696 a power decrease! Then the 796 will have a home!!!!! bwahahaha

They now know what to do.

You have doomed us all.

Thank you for your support.
