DUCATIMonster 696 2013 - 2014

　　The Ducati Monster 696 was a naked or standard machine that debuted in 2008, part of the Monster family introduced in 1993, that comprised various models with different displacement engines and similar appearances.

　　In 2013, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Monster 696, a bike with a thin waistline and wide handlebar that offered excellent ergonomics with its 770 mm seat height, easy-to-reach handlebar, and four-point adjustable levers.

　　The 2013 Ducati Monster 696 was available in red with a red-finished steel Trellis frame and blacked-out wheels, but also in Dark Stealth and Stone White, both with matte black frame and black-finished wheels. In addition, the bike was further enhanced by a range of optional color schemes offered by the innovative Monster Art program.

　　The 2013 Ducati Monster 696 had its heartbeat set by a 696cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, delivering an output power of 80 hp with a peak at 9,000 rpm and 69 Nm (51 lb-ft) torque at 7,750 rpm.

　　The burned gasses escaped through a two-into-one-into-two exhaust system with an efficient pre-silencer configuration that packed two lambda probes for finer fuel mapping and EURO3 conformity.

　　The bike's suspension was handled by a 43 mm upside-down fork on the front and a preload and rebound-adjustable shock absorber on the rear, providing excellent suspension performance and handling.

　　The 2013 Ducati Monster 696 was for sale in 2023 (at the time of writing), at a price ranging between $5,000 and $8,000, depending on its conditions. Also, several customized ones were available with prices ranging from $9,000 to $16,000.
