I've been asked several times, "How fast?" I honestly don't know. Unlike car magazines and reviews, not all moto reviews contain 0-60 mph statistics. Some do and it seems common that most any respectable bike can do it under 5.0 seconds. Compared to most cars, that's quick! I am particularly interested if anyone knows of times for a M696. For the fun of it, list your bike and published or actual times. Just curious...
No idea, but this 56 is pretty quick

The older I get, the less clout I put in 0-60 times etc. All that proves is a professional test rider can make a similar bike to your own go 0-60 in a certain period of time, it's irrelevant to everyday applications.
I would guess a 696 could do a 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds or so... Just a guess.
I know my S4R can do a 1/4 mile in under 11 seconds ;D
The only thing that is really important is how fast you go from 0 (assume it is really cold out) to 6 inches when you ride it.
Well, I have no documentation of a 0 to 60 clocked time, but I have all the neccessary paperwork on an accurate 60 in a 35 clocking. Once I saw the lights, I did have a fairly rapid 60 to 0 time.
http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews/driven/0807_2009_ducati_monster/index.html (http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews/driven/0807_2009_ducati_monster/index.html) says "less than 3 seconds." I've never timed myself, but I'd be very surprised if I haven't beat 3 flat. But maybe time just flies when you're having fun?

I bet you its really hard to keep the wheel on the ground doing a sub 3 second 0 to 60
As someone else said, it is what the bike is capable of...not necessarily what YOU and your bike are capable of.
A couple of the MC mags used to have charts in the back of the mag that listed such things from their tests...Maybe just one mag, I can't recall which.
The only number I remember on any of my bikes (and I don't know why I remember this one) is the '99' ST4 will do 0-100 in 7.4 sec. I have used that stat when people asked me about the ST and I usually put it something like "It'll do 0-100 in 7.4 sec. according to the motorcycle magazines and I think I've gotten pretty close to that..."
0-60 on a 696 is probably under 4 sec. or about that. Course, Ricky Gadston's time would be a lot different that the average Ducati rider.
I think the 0-100 time was listed at less than 7 sec. for the S4RS, but sure as hell not by me.
I only use 1st gear cause it's on the way to 3rd, where the fun is anyway. If I tried to nail 1st or 2nd the bike would just flip over backwards. :o

I hope this helps. Sorry I didn't find anything on the 696
Per Cycle World June '02:
Ducati M620ie
1/4 mile time - 13.00 sec. @ 100.005 mph
0-60 time - 4.1 sec.
top speed - 117 mph
Motorcycle News 2006:
Ducati M695
Top speed 125mph
1/4-mile acceleration 12.3 secs (seems a little low compared to other 695 times I've seen)
Motorcyclists 2007 test of a 07 S4Rs
"60 mph arrives 3.1 seconds after the last green light. If said light marks the beginning of a bona fide quarter-mile dragstrip, Mr. Monster arrives at the other end in 10.7 seconds doing a respectable 126.6 mph. That's marginally quicker than our '05 S4R, which got from 0-60 in 3.3 seconds and covered the quarter-mile in 10.8 seconds at 126.1 mph."
Motorcyclists 2006 test of a 06 S2R
"The lack of a radiator and its unsightly plumbing makes the S2R easier to look at as well, especially if you subscribe to the aesthetic that says a Monster is an air-cooled motorcycle. Such simplicity makes the 436-pound S2R 10 pounds lighter than the S4Rs, and less expensive at tune-up time. Still, you can't argue with Testastretta horsepower at the dragstrip. Despite a respectable 11.42-second, 116.17-mph quarter-mile, the S2R 1000 is nearly three-quarters of a second and 10 mph behind the S4Rs. And though the Desmodue twin is edged out in a 0-60 mph sprint as well-3.42 sec. vs. 3.12-less weight and more power in the basement make it easier to ride."

I'm sorry, but I find it VERY hard to believe a 696 does 0-60 in less than 3 seconds...
Motorcycle Consumer News tested the 696 in the October issue.
They didn't test for 0-60...
They got 12.21@108.35 with a top speed of 129.2 mph...
Seems like a far cry from a 3 second 0-60 machine.
The numbers are better than they got for the 695 or the 620.
Never timed any of my bikes but I can say I hit 110 mph at the end of an on ramp to an Interstate w, my S4Rs from a stoplight. Dolph
My bike is fast enough to put a smile on my face, and thats all that matters to me.
A 620 Capirex will turn 0-60 in roughly 1.2 seconds.
0-140 comes in around 2.5 seconds.

The article did not list the 0-60 speed but the specs and performance data page at the end or the article did. Here is what they list:
Measured top speed 129.2 mph
0-1/4 mile 12.21 sec @108.35
0-60 mph 4.09 secs
0-100mph 10.66 secs
60-0 mph 119.5 feet
power to weight ratio 1:6
speed@65mph indicated 62.2mph
Pretty good article and spec sheet to have if you have a 696. A guy at work recognized the 696 as being the bike I had and gave me the issue. I have never seen this mag before. It also lists the time,parts, and labor that you should expect for standard maintenance.
Wat. Not 3 seconds? I have only one explanation. You are all orca fat. [cheeky]
Current issue of Motorcyclist ran their 696 to 60 in just under 4.
Kind of academic argument in the real world (other than to impress your car friends). It's like comparing magazine lap times....if you took ten DMFers at random our lap times would have very very little to do with what bike each of us were on.

Yours isn't a Capirex though.
It's well known that those are the only 620s capable of this sort of thing. [thumbsup]
The only data I have for a 916 pegged 0-60 in 2.8 and the quarter in around 10.8. That was around 97, and it was good enough to run with the then-current Japanese competition (it obliterated the porky 1000s on the track test).
Those numbers sound too good to be true for a bike with 114hp, but that's what they had. They had dyno sheets from that bike and it wasn't producing any more power than it should have. 0-60 includes a shift from 1st-2nd at about 55, which makes me doubt you could get it under 3 unless you were very good indeed. Personally I find it does pull very hard up to 100 mph, then it tapers off. So maybe they are especially good for acceleration through the quarter, but not so much after that.
Not to point out the obvious, but a motorcycles power to weight ratio is dramatically effected by who is riding it. A skinny guy that goes 130 is going to get considerably better times than a guy that weighs 230. 100lbs is huge when you are talking about a 400lbs machine.
Get this. Yesterday I'm sitting at a redlight in the left turn lane and two guys in a truck pull up next to me. I saw them out of the corner of my eye trying to get my attention. He said "nice bike" and I gave him a thumbs up. Then he said "How fast is it?". I said I dunno. I've never topped it out. He says and I shit you not, "260"? I looked at him funny thinking there's no way he said that. I said "Sorry, what"?. He says "260"? I looked at him puzzled and said "Are you serious? A Lamborghini can't go 260." He had an "i'm an idiot" look on his face. Then the light changed and I drove off. Hilarious. 260?? WTF???
were you by any chance in Canada? My bike likely tops out close to 260 Kph. ;D

- No, I'm down south. Seriously though, what the hell kind of goofball thinks a motorcycle goes 260 mph? I had to ask him to repeat what he said b/c no way did he just ask me if my bike will go 260. LOL

Maybe he meant "to sixty" as in zero-to-sixty? Nah, I bet he was trying to sound smart and ask if it were a 260cc engine. Probably because he heard "250" and "motorcycle" in the same sentence before, except he even botched that up! 8)

No, I asked him to repeat what he said to make sure I was hearing him correctly. He said 260, no doubt. Cuz when I replied that Lamborghinis can't even go that fast he kind of shrugged as if he didn't know that. This was a young guy. Like maybe 18 or 19.
11ty seconds.
;D
Most of the Liter Japanese bikes and the other fast bikes that we all think of as being the fast bikes that are bought in showrooms do 0-60 in under 3 seconds. 1/4 mile times for those same bikes are 10.5 seconds to upper 9s running in the 140s to 148+mph.
That info. comes from reading alot of Roadtests in Motorcycle Mags. Dolph
I have the motogadget light dash on my bike.
One of the functions measures 0-100 KMH (which is around 60MPH I think).... my best time is 2.8sec.
I short shift into second to help keep the wheel down.
Bike is a 93 900 with keihin carbs, light flywheel and ally clutch, but otherwise standard (not for much longer!) with 80.000 K's on the clock.
Goes from 0 to speeding ticket (or at least a friendly warning) faster than you think. :P
[evil] [cheeky]
The M696 run 0-60 in 4.01 seconds, stock. With the 14t front and the termi racing ecu probably in the mid to upper 3's.

The December 2008 issue of Motorcyclist magazine just published a test for the 696. 3.92 seconds. BTW, the article favored the M696 over the the Aprilia 750 Shiver. Either way, fast enough to beat my brother's AMG!

and a 11.23 sec corrected 1/4 mile time @110. That is quick monster compared to the previous entry level Monsters which typically had mid 12 second 1/4 mile times.
BiKE Magazine had the 696 doing 3.9 seconds 0-60
