2009 Ducati Monster 696

Naked air-cooled desmo V-Twin that is more than just an entry-level Ducati.

  • List Price$8995

Introduced in 2008 as an early-release 2009 model, the 696 represented the beginning of the new Monster line, featuring a major styling and technical makeover. The frame is a hybrid steel-trellis and cast aluminum unit, while power comes from an 80-horsepower, 696cc air-cooled Twin. Ergonomics are redone with a shorter reach to the handlebar, lower, more-forward-mounted footpegs and the claimed lowest seat height of any Ducati, meant to broaden the appeal. An affordable, good-looking, fun-to-ride Italian motorcycle? What's not to like?
