Title: New rider ! 696 in 450
Post by: Johnny85 on June 11, 2011, 09:03:56 AM
i am now dooing my 3rd practice course and was always in love with ducati monsters , i am purchasing a 2009 ducati monster 696 as my first bike due to lack of budget for a 796 11'


is a 2009 696 a good beginner bike ? and does anyone know any other ducati riders that might be able to direct me to some speed shops in the greater montreal region ?
or maybe even ride with me and gimme some pointers as i will get my 6A liscence july 5th !

thank you in advance :)

The 696 is a great bike.  Plenty of power to keep you happy for years, but still easy enough to handle that a responsible beginner has a chance on it.
