New Ducati Monster 796

After the launch of the smaller 796 Hypermotard, the Italian firm is now readying a smaller Monster as well. It will essential use the 796cc motor from the Hypermotard and will be announced for the US market next month. It should go on sale in a couple of months from then we believe.

The Monster 796 will be based on the elder Monster 1100 though, sharing the same chassis. We expect the pricing to be under US$10,000 easily.

But why is Ducati doing this? Apart from giving customers an option of a cheaper Monster, it is believed that the bigger Monster 1100 wasnt doing too well in the markets. Watch this space for more!
