She's a monster!
I recently stepped up to a Ducati Monster 696 ABS, so I thought I'd share!

NICE! As far as maint. goes, according to a ducati mechanic you have to beat the crap out of them for the monster to run right. If you baby it it will have some issues. I am thinking of getting one of these so you will have to write a review on it!

Thanks guys! Appreciate the comments! It was a pretty smooth transmission from the 250R, it feels just as nimble as the 250R, but with more power and torque compared to the 250R. I actually got a maintenance plan which costed me another $1500, but that covers all scheduled maintenance for a period of 3 years or 6 services within 3 years. A no brainer for a Ducatis as valve adjustments can easily cost up to $700-800 where two will probably be needed within the first 3 years. It covers the all oil changes, with no disposal fees, valve adjustments, etc. I pretty much schedule an appointment, ride in, and ride home. Hopefully, if I take care of her she'll last me for a long time
NDspd, it cost me about $10k because everything is more expensive in Hawaii  Also another picture
