All Monsters felt very light, small and easy to deal with, although the attitude muscles, the rider did not need muscle. A slightly different from 696 and 796 ergonomically big brother in 1100. Height of the seat is slightly higher than less, and slightly lower than Monster-greater, capacity. The wide handlebar provides excellent control of muscular front end, changes direction easily, and is feather-light feel.
If you are a medium-high to high rider, you will have trouble continuing to read the instrument when driving in high concentration mode, for example in the city center or in a congested highway. Nothing exciting about the instrument panel, so I ignored it completely to such a degree that I forgot to record accurate fuel consumption and things like that.
Only a very visible indication on the console is light gear change, which is useful when the tear-B on the road quickly. Hopefully I did not rack ticket is too much, because I rarely use the speedometer at all in my test.
With the new 2011 Monster 796, Ducati has completed the line-up of cold air standard. These are relics of the old 800 and put himself in the middle between the entry level 696 and 1100 more violent.
