Ducati Monster 696
The Ducati Monster 696 has a top speed of 195 km/h, produces 80 hp and weighs 169 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
تم طرح دوكاتي مونستر 696 في عام 2008 كبديل لـ Monster 620، المصممة لتكون نقطة دخول يمكن الوصول إليها إلى مجموعة Monster بمحرك L-twin الحديث. وقد تميزت بمحرك Ducati الجديد 696cc Desmodue المبرد بالهواء وأصبحت واحدة من أكثر الموديلات مبيعًا للعلامة التجارية نظرًا لتوازنها بين الأداء والأناقة وسهولة الوصول إليها. تم إنتاجها حتى عام 2014، عندما خلفتها Monster 821، وتعتبر على نطاق واسع واحدة من أفضل الدراجات الرياضية للمبتدئين والمتوسطين في عصرها.

ما يجب أن يعرفه المشترون
Desmo Service Costs
The Desmodromic valve system requires mandatory service every 7,500 miles, which can cost $600–$1,000+ at a dealer. Always verify service history before buying — skipped Desmo services are a major red flag.
Strong Resale Value
The Monster 696 holds its value well due to strong brand loyalty and timeless styling, typically fetching $4,000–$6,500 used depending on condition and mileage. Low-mileage, well-serviced examples are especially desirable.
Watch for Electrical Gremlins
Some owners report issues with the throttle position sensor and stator failures, particularly on higher-mileage bikes. Inspect for any warning lights and test charging voltage before purchasing.

"الدواء الأساسي الذي يفي بالفعل بوعده."
لقد وضعت 18000 كم على 696 أحمر على مدى ثلاث سنوات، ولم يتوقف هذا الطراز Desmo L-twin أبدًا عن جعلني ابتسم - فهو كسول أقل من 5000 دورة في الدقيقة ولكنه يضيء بإلحاح ميكانيكي خشن يتجاوز 7000 دورة في الدقيقة ولا يمكن لأي توأم ياباني متوازي تزييفه. يمكن تعديل هيكل التعريشة وشوك Showa حقًا لدراجة «المبتدئين»، ويبلغ وزنها 169 كجم، وهي تتنقل عبر حركة المرور في المدينة بسهولة محرجة. ومع ذلك، يتحول مقعد الأسهم إلى لوح خشبي بعد 90 دقيقة، وتتطلب فترات الخدمة وجود وكيل دوكاتي كل 7500 كم بالتكلفة الحقيقية، وستؤدي رافعة القابض التي تسحب حركة التوقف والتشغيل إلى تشنج يدك اليسرى بنهاية الرحلة. إنها ليست وسيلة نقل مثالية - إنها دراجة نارية تريد بالفعل ركوبها، وهو أمر مختلف تمامًا.

"Brilliant used buy if service history is spotless and verifiable."
$4,500-$7,500 usedThe Monster 696 is genuinely one of the sweetest entry points into Italian motorcycle ownership, and the used market is absolutely flooded with low-mileage examples from riders who bought the dream and discovered the maintenance reality. That 696cc L-twin punches harder than the numbers suggest — it's characterful, vocal, and makes you feel like a hero on a back road. Ergonomics are sporty without being punishing, and the naked silhouette ages brilliantly. Here's where you need your eyes open: Ducati service intervals are non-negotiable. The desmo valve service hits around every 15,000 miles and costs $600-900 at a dealer. Always demand full service history and walk away from anything vague. Dry clutch chatter is normal and actually charming once you accept it. Check for crash damage — these get dropped by new riders regularly. A clean, documented example around 2010-2012 represents exceptional value if you're mechanically sympathetic.
