This thread just proves "you can't please everybody"...

Just suck it up and buy what you like.

LOL.. good to see you back.. let's not visit banville anymore.. 

Yeah, good to have you back...I felt a little alone bashing the fisherprice mod of the 695
Maybe Ducati meant to send the plans to a RC bike company and the accidentally landed in their own manufacturing...who knows

Oh Juan... I totally forgot about the Rizomas sliders... its exactly 95mm long and also 90mm wide due to the L-shape, measured from the middle of the frame connector to the edge of the slider cap

Thanks Arguz.. I ended up buying motovation sliders. Not the longest, but I have them in place now and will just forget a bout them.. I hope I never have to put them to good use.. Did your mind come back to the daily reality after that cool trip.. I bet you are still in trip mode!

ron, to be honest with you. i missed you 

open question to the haters:

did you hate the 600/620/695 as well?  i.e., is this performance based hatred or entirely cosmetic?

oh, welcome back the ron.

It is only cosmetic... performance on this one is comparable to an S2R800...You have a cool looking bike in my opinion!

cosmetic as well. any motor/ engineering mods are always good. but i just don't like the way it looks. and like i stated before. if they called it anything but the monster i wouldn't care. even the monster II would have been a fine compramise. oh well. thanks for the kind words.

the one the only the ron

Hey!!...Good to see you back.          It's been so "bland" without you.




Kinda like the 696

Since this is election season, I am going to take your quote completely out of context, and run misleading tv ads in 4 swing states.

Pizza Monster said in august of this year he "kinda likes the 696." Previously he said he was against it. He's both ways Pizza Monster - worse than a flip flopper

cosmetic for me, the thing looks like one of those pug nosed dogs.

Yeah, its just ugly...nothing personal.
I want a 699 next year.
All the tech goodies with the old design....please

Hey ron....look what you did ! check out soldiers profile info...he sold the 696 and got a Try-oomph now
