Ducati motorcycles are not just machines; they are expressions of style and a homage to performance. A testament to this is the Ducati Monster 696 with optional ABS, a perfect blend of artistic aesthetics and superior engineering. As a part of the Sport Bikes category of 2010, it materialises the dreams of ardent motorcycle enthusiasts, providing them with an invigorating riding experience like no other.
The Monster 696’s key specifications illustrate the meticulous work Ducati has put in to create this work of art. With a length of 82.7” and a height of 44”, the bike offers a compact and lean ride. Its overall weight of 355 lbs adds to the stability of the bike, providing a composed and reassuring ride, which makes it suitable for those who prioritize comfort in their riding experience.
Under the hood, the Monster 696 houses an L-twin cylinder engine with 2 valves per cylinder, geared to deliver a thunderous 80 hp at 9,000 rpm. Adding to its power quotient is the 696 cc displacement with a torque of 50.6 ft. lbs at 7,750 rpm and a fuel system featuring Siemens electronic fuel injection. All of this combined offers an exhilarating ride and an enticingly aggressive roar that showcases the heart and soul of a true sports bike.
Further contributing to the bike’s outstanding performance is a 6-speed transmission and an APTC wet multi-plate clutch. The combination of these features ensures swift and smooth gear transitions that allow the rider to fully use the power provided by the strong engine, making each ride thrilling and enjoyable.
Despite being an impressive powerhouse, the Monster 696 never compromises on safety. The optional ABS is an essential addition that promises an improved braking system and, in turn, better control over reducing stopping distances, making the bike safer for high-speed thrills.
For improved adventure-seeking, this Monster features a progressive suspension system comprising Showa 43 mm upside-down forks (front) and a preload and rebound Sachs adjustable monoshock (rear). It is evident that Ducati designed this bike to conquer any terrain, displaying unrivalled strength while ensuring the riders enjoy the experience.
The 2010 Ducati Monster 696 with optional ABS is a revelation in the realm of sport bikes. With a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $8995.00, it disruptively challenges the market, offering an Italian-made, high-performance machine at an accessible rate. Ducati, once again, has successfully implemented its essence of style and performance in the Monster 696, fulfilling the dreams of motorcycle enthusiasts and setting an unsurpassable standard in the motorcycle industry.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
