Test ride with the 2008 Ducati Monster 696

Ducati are putting a lot of faith in their Monster 696 and hope that it will help increase sales. The Ducati Monster 696 will have to perform well in this ever competitive market, let us hope that this bike is in fact a monster on the roads.

The guys over at Motorcycle USA have decided to take the 2008 Ducati Monster 696 for a test ride. The Monster without a doubt is a pure thoroughbred Monster, but it has a long way to go if it wants to compete with the likes of a Yamaha MT01 or Aprilia Shiver.
