NEW COLOUR SCHEMES
Following the world unveiling at the Milan Motorcycle Show (EICMA07) and just weeks away from the first deliveries to showrooms around the world, the new Monster 696 reveals its two new colour schemes.

In addition to the 'Ducati red', the Monster 696 will also be available from April 2008 in the new 'pearl white' and traditional 'matte-black' or 'dark'.

'Pearl white', already featured on other highly successful Ducati models like the Superbike 848, emphasizes the muscular lines of the Monster 696 which contrast sharply with the seat, sub-frame and Hybrid-Trellis frame.

The 'dark' version demonstrates how the Monster silhouette remains totally uncompromised by centralising the bike's volumes and masses.
Both colours are complemented perfectly by black wheels and frames.

Nice to see it on a Monster too. Do you have larger pictures to post maybe?

I wish they would have kept the frame red on all of them.

i had the tank and seat cowl on my m620 dark painted pearl white in 2003. i still believe that someone at ducati saw a pic and copied it.

Gotta love how some of the haters on monster.org are changing their tunes. Seeing more potential, letting their creativity flow. I have had idea upon idea looking at the 696. A very good base on which to create i think. Maybe by next year the usual grand or more add-ons won't be in the OTD price and I'll finally get one.
