Come check out the premiere of the new Ducati Monster 696!

Friday May 16th 9:00am to 3:00 pm
Saturday May 17th 9:00 am to 4:00 pm

Not since its introduction in the early 1990s has the original naked bike seen such a revolutionary redesign. Building on the extraordinary pedigree of the Monster lineup, the 696 represents the next generation naked and a statement of individuality. Come experience the Monster 696 during the National Premiere on May 16-17 at MelilliMoto Ducati.

The engine of the new 696 is an evolution of the previous 695 version. Measuring 696cc, it boasts a series of updates and refinements. Power output gets a 9% boost to 80hp (59kW) and an 11% increase in torque to 50.6lb-ft.

Maintaining its traditional Monster silhouette, the 696 now looks more muscular than ever. Its wide tank tapers to the thin waistline of a comfortable narrow seat ensuring sure-footed confidence.

Just in time for the summer riding season, Ducati North America and GE Money are launching a special financing program for some of Ducatis best selling motorcycles. For more information please call MelilliMoto Ducati at 352-307-0299.

For those who are dreaming of a new Ducati, this program offers low interest rates and extended terms to make some of the most desirable Ducatis more accessible. This promotion will run from May 1 through July 31, 2008 at participating Ducati dealers.

The three models eligible for the program are:

• 2008 Hypermotard 1100
• 2008 Hypermotard 1100 S
• 2008 1098 Superbike

Ducati customers can take advantage of rates as low as 1.99%; and terms up to 72 months. Some payment examples include:

• The Hypermotard for as low as $199 a month for 72 months
• The 1098 Superbike for as low as $269 a month for 72 months

Customers can also take advantage of this offer by rolling Accessories, Apparel and the Ducati Everred Protection Program into the special financing. This allows customers to ride their new bikes with personalized style from the Ducati Performance range.

Rather than limiting the program only to those with flawless credit, Ducati is offering the financing to those in several tiers of eligibility. This opens up the program to Ducatisti who in the past could not easily finance a Ducati.
