All new Ducati
Ducati has added the 803cc engine to the range. The thinking goes that the Monster 1100 is too big, the Monster 696 is too small, but, hopefully,all-new Monster 2011 Ducati Monster 796 has been added to the Monster product line, will fit in-between the 696cc and 1100cc versions of the Monster. Expected to be available from late April, theDucati Monster 796 is available in the traditional Ducati Red, Arctic White, or Diamond Black Silk. All the colors of the bike will feature a red trellis frame and black wheels. 2011 Ducati Monster 796 priceat $9,995 here in the US.
The 2011 Ducati Monster 796 features the same 87hp, 803cc, two-valve, air-cooled motor that’s found in the 2010 Hypermotard 796. The Monster 796 tips the scales at a paltry 368lbs, and will feature optional ABS brakes. Combined with a low dry weight of 167kg (369lbs) and the bike’s friendly, flat-barred riding position, those new figures could make the Monster 796 the perfect first big bike for newish riders. Like the Monster 1100, the Monster 796 will feature a single-sided swingarm and seat height that’s taller than the double-sided Monster 696.
