Ducati Monster 696 Vs. Belle Isle
For many, the Ducati Monster 696 is an ideal first street bike. It combines low power and low weight in an easily manageable package with enough image to make it desirable and enough performance to guarantee not only that the rider won't become bored with it for many years, but also that they're learning how to use real suspension, real brakes and real tires. We dispatched beginner rider Andrew Didorosi into Detroit's frigid, early winter depths to find out more.

I thought this would have been a good read. I was very disappointed to just get a description of Detroit slums and suburbs. Maybe an actual ride report with actual numbers and tests next time?
Click the Ducati tag over on the right for all the numbers you could ever want.
I know nearly every blcok of the writers ride and he's spot on. Good read I thought.
