it's starting to grow on me a bit and I bet it will be fun but I can't get over the $3k you need to spend to clean up that awful exhaust and the plastic shrouds around the tank and air box. If they would have refined these three things I'd say they have an instant hit but dam, at $20k I expected more - maybe I'm just dreaming.
There is no plastic, its aluminium. |

I agree I really wish Ducati would just have every bike come stock with Termis.....I know they make a ton on the aftermarket but damn it would be nice. Especially considering the MSRP of an actual stock exhaust the price can't be that much different.
i think the reason they cant is because of emissions/noise... i'm pretty sure i read somewhere that's also the reason that the monster is geared a bit tall. here it is: "Crazy tall gearing is also a nominal but notable drawback for the transmission. An enterprising and creative 796 owner could fiddle with different countershaft or rear sprocket changes to help the bike accelerate more briskly up top, and overcome the tall gearing that’s likely a result of ever-stricter emissions regulations." http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/ducati/2011-ducati-monster-796-review-89950.htmland "The fuel-injected engine (a Siemens electronic fuel injection system, to be precise) together with the tall gearing ensures the Monster 696 meets Euro 3 regulations." http://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-reviews/ducati/2010-ducati-monster-696-ar75590.htmlpretty sure that the cf cans dont have catalytic converters on them which is why they cant put them out with termi's on. i think the ti ones do... but that would raise the price a whole lot. and i'm guessing the dp ecu would kill emissions too |

two pieces, at least on the one I sat on at the cycle show. aluminum or not it felt cheap to me but since I'm not buying one I can criticize.  |

Looks better than the new monster...
you might just be right about that. But then I'm biased, I have both an 00 and 01 monster 900ie  |

I'll say this, the Diavel and the new Multi are both making the old Multi look a lot better to me.  |

I'm still not a big fan of the looks, although adding the touring screen and shortie exhaust does wonders, but I really want to ride it now. The reviews have been too positive not to.

I'll come down as soon as you have a demo and it's a nice day.  Your demo will of course be a Carbon model, right?  |
