Nice  I had read that they dished the seat more on the 796 and from the pic, it looks like they did so quite a lot. Maybe Ducati does pay attention to what people say. |

Sweet!
How's the seat height? Does it feel much higher than the 696?

 I'm currently working on a down payment for one of these... Thought about an S2R of some size but I just can't get over the potential these new Monsters have. Dig the black one tho... Add red reflective stripe on the wheels and a few other tiny red baubles and it would be sex. |

I'm 5'4
The seat height was to high for me but the dealer dropped the bike for me.
They adjusted the forks and the rear spring.
love the 696 but this bike is different
after 225 miles this is what i notice
1.The bike comes out of corners like a jet
2.The bike is smoother then 696 -1100 -1100s the clutch is amazing Shifting amazing
3.Tires Pirelli Diablo Rosso, are the BEST tires period for the street '''one word'' WOW
love the cosmetics , single side swing arm, Rims, Seat, Red Frame, silk white color

reflectors = must be removed.
or leave them on, that way my 696 will have one that is cooler than this bike.
disregard all previous suggestions.
