I rode my buddies 796. It was underwelming if that's a word.

LOL

If you're looking into the Ducati, I'd consider looking into the 796 as well. It's more money of course, but you get the extra power and the single swing arm.

i looked at the 796, i believe it's only 8hp more then the 696 and single swingarm. For me i don't see the value in going that way, it might be a good option for others but think i'll keep it to the 696.
Going to Inglis cycle in early Jan as they have a sale coming up and can pick it up in the spring with a deposit. I was considering buying the OEM monster art - monster sport 100 - but can't justify the extra cost for just painting the tank panels, front fender and wind screen sections. I'll look at finding a shop to remove them and paint them the same colour, i'm sure for less then the 1100.

So it's final, you decided to go for the Monster? You made the right decision.
