2011 Ducati 796 Bike Review

[@musky420]

my left ear enjoyed everything

[@psittacid]

Not sure why they stay with 2 valves, but I'm OK with it. (I own the 1100 Monster, but you could ask the same question of it). Adjusting 8 desmo valves would be expensive. The other thing is that the power is fine. I know I'm showing my age, but...how much power do you need? Over the years, I have come to value torque over max HP and would rather power be made where I use it - under 9000rpm. There's a bit less peak adrenaline, but more fun. The Monster is the most fun bike I've ever owned.

thank you for explaining. i've always thought that monsters with single swing arm are modified...nice comparison against bmw f800r

[@BEM_01]

Nice review Rob!

[@s197mustangfan]

Im going to a 14t front sprocket. The bogging down low is horrible. Bike handles like a dream!

[@cedricksamaniego9146]

Heeey... I know I've watched this before but i ended up buying a 11 Duc Monster 796 as my first bike a little over two years ago. I plan to keep this as long as i can. I tend to use things until they die out..

[@livethejourney1]

Where do you guys test your bikes? Is that in SoCal?

[@crashtest2302]

is the 796 good for a "starter" Bike?

[@LeaveYouOnRead]

is the bike reliable?

[@qettyz]

@PERIZ99 Ducati's have L2 (like V2 but in L-shaped) motors

[@salchipapa8000]

im just curious as to why ducati went with 2 valves per cylinder as opposed to 4, you would think since they push the fact that the monster is a sporty bike, they would do that, im sure it would not only improve horsepower but may be some MPG's ? just curious, cuz i grew up being taught that DOHC is better than SOHC

[@aluisious]

800cc twin bogs at low RPM? Do not want.

[@aluisious]

Eh, my CBR has a -1 front sprocket. Really it's a tiny difference, like 7%. I doubt that will make or break anything.

[@MegaVinny73]

Im not sure its an insurance thing, well certainly not in the UK. My 2012 1100 Evo cost £165 for comprehensive insurance! I was amazed, that's the lowest of any bike I've ever had.

[@sdeary1]

yea but you aren't 22, for me there is a huge difference in price

[@corralesg]

epic chops

[@slspg]

it was probably more a dry clutch model with a tickling sound

[@abhimanyu2004]

He looks like Wolferine's Son !

[@DARKKAIjeKing]

Ou maj gad :D Rob schneider :D

[@tneper]

I've read that it's 1.2 inches higher than the 696, and something like .3-.5 inches shorter than the 1100.

[@PGC434]

@The3dsGeek holy crap he really does!

[@TheCClaude]

he`s got some kind of growth on his face.....

[@anaisftw]

i now understand why it is called a monster....

[@The3dsGeek]

This guy looks like Rob Schneider..........

[@jacobnoori]

There are lamb chops on his face... Am I the only one freaking out about this?!

[@noximusIN]

the sound is horrible. i couldn't make out a single word. fix this video because i just bought a 796 and would love to actually hear it.

[@etaks99]

[@dfx961]

[@nithinraja76]
