Selling a very well maintained Ducati Monster 696. I am the 2nd original owner, both of us are female. The bike has only 7415 miles, respectfully driven, has fantastic handling, and is an absolute hoot to ride especially in the mountains where we live. At 355 pounds cranking 80 HP and 50 ft.-lbs. of torque, it delivers pure performance with competence. Braking gives me a lot of confidence with twin 320mm rotors and Brembo four-piston calipers on the front. Brakes are powerful but still progressive and ideal for novice riders. Digital instruments tell you everything you need to know, including over-rev indicator lights and fuel gauge. "Tank" covers are inexpensive plastics, offering affordable repair and customizing opportunities. With a low seat height of 30 inches, it is ideal for persons who are “vertically challenged”. A few of the goodies that come with it are dual Arrow carbon fiber exhausts, bar end mirrors, custom painted plastics, Michelin Pilot Power tires @ 90%, and a PowerLet connection for a trickle charger. I thought about buying a SV650 before I bought the Ducati, but after I rode one I was really glad I bought the Monster as the differences between the two is significant. This is a great bike for an entry level or experienced rider.
